| المستخلص: | Concern has been growing about global warming and climate change phenomenon caused by greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Many experts ha'sc discussed and warned against the risk of global climate change deriving from the increase of GHG emissions in the atmosphere. The well-defined emissions reduction policies and environmental regulations are one of the major elements that can positively treat the problem of climate change. A number of previous contributions to the literature state that only when income grows can the effective environmental policies be implemented (Coondoo & Dinda 2002: Dinda 2004). In addition, clearly before adopting a policy, it is important to understand the nature of any causal relationship between economic growth and environmental quality. As a developing nation, the economic development of Libya is proceeding quickly as the country moves towards the development of its infrastructure. Environmental pressure increases with the economic development. By utilizing an environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) approach, this paper examines the relationship between one of the environmental indicators, namely carbon dioxide (C02) emissions, and economic growth (income per capita GDP) in Libya. This research can contribute in assisting policy makers in Libya to define their environmental policies more clearly and effectively. The study points out that timely enforcement of proper environmental regulations and emissions reduction policies help redress environmental pollution. The paper demonstrates that, income growth is significantly related to the emissions of CO2. However, in a de\ eloping country such as Libya, policy makers should not assume that economic development will automatically solve the problem of air pollution. |
