Abstract

The goal of this study was to look at the effects of CO2 emissions on India's and China's economic growth. CO2 emissions appear to be increasing in both India and China, according to preliminary data analysis. In addition, both countries' carbon emissions from electricity and heat production have recently decreased, while India's reduction has been greater than China's. India's CO2 emissions from the use of gaseous fuels are also higher than China's. China, on the other hand, emits more CO2 than India from manufacturing and building. The findings also revealed that while both India and China's carbon intensity increased over time, China's was higher. Carbon emissions have a negative and significant relationship with India and China's economic growth, according to the results of correlation and regression research. We conclude that lowering carbon emissions is crucial for the country's well-being based on these findings. As a result, the government should come up with environmentally friendly measures for reducing carbon emissions. Environmental protection is a long-term process that necessitates constant planning, government laws, and public and private sector cooperation.A
