Summary/Abstract: This study aimed at examining the relation between economic growth and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in North African countries in the period 2000-2018. To prove this, the author applied the OLS method of the two variables describing the Environmental Kuznets Curve: GDP per capita and CO2. The results show that GDP per capita reflects the influence of changes in the level of income on environmental pollution in five of the seven countries surveyed.
