Abstract
This paper explores the relationship between urbanization, CO2 emissions and energy
consumption in South Asia for the period of 1983 to 2013, using Panel Co-integration and
Granger causality approach. A long-run relationship exists between CO2, energy consumption
and urbanization. The empirics also indicate that energy consumption and economic growth are
playing a significant role in degrading the environment while trade is improving its quality.
Bidirectional causality exists between CO2 and energy, and between urbanization and CO2
emissions both in the short run and long run
