The results of the study state that economic growth with GDP per capita has a positive and significant effect, meanwhile GDP per capita squared has a negative and significant on CO2 Emissions. So that it can prove the EKC hypothesis with an inverted U-Curve relationship between economic growth and CO2 Emissions. Urbanization and Energy Consumption has a positive and significant effect on CO2 Emissions.
