Abstract

Climate change is a major global challenge, and CO2 emissions are a significant contributor to this issue. This paper uses data visualization methods to explore the relationship between CO2 emissions and GDP growth. To ensure the reliability of research results, data is collected from some authoritative institutions, including the World Bank and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The paper uses regression analysis and data visualization techniques to analyze the relationship between CO2 emissions and GDP growth. The results indicate that there is a positive correlation between GDP growth and CO2 emissions, which suggests that economic growth is linked to an increase in emissions. The findings of this paper can contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between economic growth and environmental sustainability.
