RESUMO:

The balance between economic growth and a low carbon economy has become a target to develop a sustainable society, especially in emerging countries. The objective of this work is to identify the main factors that contribute to the increase of CO2 emissions in OECD and BRICS member countries and, how the emerging countries are in this context, since they have the greatest challenge of maintaining economic growth and the industrialization of its economy in line with the reduction of environmental impacts. The study was applied in a universe of 40 countries, among developed and emerging, with a longitudinal cut between 2000 and 2014. In the data analysis, the multiple linear regression analysis technique was used. The dependent variable was the emission of CO2 and as independent variables: PIB, IDH, population, forest area, territory, consumption of electricity, production of energy from renewable energy, and energy use. The analysis was divided into three groups of countries whose results showed that, in group one, the countries Canada, Australia and the United States were the outliers in the CO2 emission per hab/km², with energy use being the main contribution factor in the emissions. In group two, no variables were considered significant. In group three, the significant factors in the carbon emission contribution equation were energy use and electric energy consumption. In this group, Russia was considered the outlier, being the country with the highest CO2 emission per hab/km² and whose main contribution factors were PIB, energy use, forest area and IDH. Finally, the results presented a panorama of the three groups of countries correlated with the covariates of the research, which made it possible to identify China as the largest emitter of CO2 per hab/km². As for the relationship between developed countries that grew economically during the period analyzed, it was observed that there was not necessarily an increase in carbon emissions. The covariables use of energy and use of electric energy, when coupled with the economic growth of emerging countries, were the most significant in the research. The results obtained varied from one group of countries to the other, with their outliers analyzed in this work.
