Abstract

Background and Aims: Climate change, largely due to carbon dioxide emissions, poses major global challenges. The agriculture sector is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in Asia, particularly in the ASEAN region, where five countries account for most emissions. This study examines trends in agricultural economic development and their relationship to carbon dioxide emissions in the ASEAN region.

Methodology: This study employs panel data from 1990 to 2022, focusing on the five highest-emitting ASEAN countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. Data were sourced from the World Development Indicators by the World Bank. The analysis treats agricultural activities as independent variables and carbon dioxide emissions, GDP per capita, and labor force participation as dependent variables.

Results: Agricultural activities significantly impact carbon dioxide emissions at the 0.05 level and GDP per capita at the 0.01 level. Similarly, in the ASEAN region, agricultural economic development is linked to carbon dioxide emissions, influenced by industry prevalence, energy sources, and economic efficiency.

Conclusion: Agricultural practices substantially affect carbon dioxide emissions and GDP per capita in the ASEAN region, influenced by industry presence, energy types, industrial growth, and economic recovery.
