Abstract
We test the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) augmenting CO 2 emissions model for Egypt using cointegration technique for period 1990–2014. Cointegration is found in the hypothesized model and EKC hypothesis validates from empirical testing as well. Further, energy consumption seems to be accelerating CO 2 emissions per capita while Foreign Direct Investment is found helpful in reducing CO 2 emissions per capita. However, the effect of trade is found insignificant. We recommend Egyptian government to attract further foreign investment to support a cleaner environment.
