Abstract

This study aimed to examine how human development affects CO2 emissions in Vietnam from 1990 to 2020. By utilizing data from the World Bank and CountryEconomy.com, the research results indicate no causal relationship between human development and CO2 emissions in Vietnam. However, the study found that human development has a positive impact on reducing CO2 emissions and, therefore, that it positively affects environmental protection. The result of this study is explained by the fact that more people need to live and invest in a cleaner environment to improve their health and well-being. This study contributes to enhancing knowledge about the relationship between human development and CO2 emissions, which is significant for reducing environmental pollution in the future.
