Abstract:
Abstract:\
the study aims to analyze and measure the impact of green economy indicators in
Libya (emissions from energy, industry, agriculture, and waste) on economic growth,
represented by real GDP, during the period 1990–2022. The research employs both
the descriptive method and the econometric quantitative approach, using the
Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model. The findings reveal several key
results: energy-related emissions have a positive and significant effect on economic
growth, while agricultural emissions exert a significant negative impact on growth. In
contrast, industrial and waste-related emissions show no significant effect on
economic growth. The study recommends the development of renewable energy
policies in Libya, such as solar and wind energy, to diversify the national economy in
ways that enhance both economic and environmental sustainability. It also
emphasizes improving the efficiency of natural resource utilization by enhancing
water and land management practices to boost productivity through environmentally
friendly approaches.
