This study explores the relationship between carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions and economic growth across 20 major global economies. GDP (measured in USD trillions) and CO₂ emissions (in million metric tons) are used to determine their correlation. A strong positive correlation (r ≈ 0.88) is found, indicating that higher GDP is generally associated with higher emissions. Emissions intensity (CO₂ emissions per trillion USD of GDP) varies significantly among countries. Economies like Switzerland, France, and the United Kingdom exhibit low emissions intensity, indicating efficient and sustainable growth. In contrast, India, Russia, and Saudi Arabia have high emissions relative to GDP, reflecting carbon-intensive economic structures. The study emphasizes the need for integrating environmental sustainability into economic planning.
