Malaysia has continued to increase the explosive growth rate of its industries in recent years. The rise of globalization has driven Malaysia’s economic development at the ecosystem level of pollution. This research study explores the relationship of CO₂ emissions, gross domestic product, globalization, industrialization, and trade openness for Malaysia by using annual data for 1971–2016. By applying the ARDL bound testing approach, the estimates infer that CO₂ emissions have steadily risen with high economic growth and affirm the U-shaped environmental Kuznets curve (EKC). Globalization’ index and trade openness surge Malaysian CO₂ emissions. While industrialization has a statistically significant negative impact on CO₂ emissions. The VECM Granger causality infers the unidirectional causality running from economic growth, globalization, industrialization, and trade openness to CO₂ emission in the short-run Finally, this study provides some suggestions to Malaysian policymakers for devising carbon emission reduction strategies.

近年来，马来西亚继续提高其行业的爆炸性增长速度。全球化的兴起在污染的生态系统水平上推动了马来西亚的经济发展。本研究使用1971-2016年的年度数据，探索了马来西亚的CO ₂排放量，国内生产总值，全球化，工业化和贸易开放度之间的关系。通过应用ARDL边界测试方法，估算值可以推断出CO ₂排放随着经济的高速增长而稳步上升，并确定了U型环境库兹涅茨曲线（EKC）。全球化指数和贸易开放度激增了马来西亚的CO ₂排放量。尽管工业化对CO ₂具有统计上显着的负面影响排放。VECM Granger因果关系可以推断出从短期，经济增长，全球化，工业化，贸易开放到CO ₂排放的单向因果关系。最后，本研究为马来西亚决策者制定碳减排策略提供了一些建议。
