Abstract:
Purpose
The objective of this study is to observe the effect Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), Export,
natural deposits (NR) and economic growth (GDP) have on ecological footprints (EF) and
C02 respectively using multiple regression model. Environmental degradation is becoming a

economies have no concern towards this serious matter, therefore conducting this research in

to be warmer (Richard Schmalensee, 1998). . The energy sector or industry includes
the exploration and development of oil or gas reserves, oil and gas companies involved in
drilling, and refining. Oil and gas exploration received FDI of 570 million US$ and
contributes 46 percent to overall emission (Greenhouse Gas Emissions Factsheet: Pakistan,
2016).
