Abstract
This paper tests the relationship between the dependent variable environmental expenditures and the independent variable GDP. The study includes observations from 180 countries from around the world. Other independent variables that will be used in this study are carbon emissions, urbanization rate, income level of each observation, status as an OECD member, and Environmental Policy Index. The conclusion from my study is that there is a significant positive relationship between
Gross Domestic Product and expenditures on environmental protection. Furthermore, there is a positive correlation with
the variables on urbanization rate, countries with OECD membership, high-income level countries, and the Environmental
Policy Index. There is a negative correlation with the explanatory variables on carbon emissions and middle-income
countries.
