The growth of economic has been a determinant factor increasing the volume of greenhouse gases, particularly CO 2 emissions. To provide appropriate measures to control CO 2 emission, it is necessary to address how such factors as population and economic growth impact the emission of carbon dioxide in any developing country. However, the answer to what are the key factors or whether these factors have jointly impacted on CO 2 emissions has been debated so far. This paper chooses five main factors, including economic growth, population growth, energy consumption, age structure and urbanization as independent variables for multiple regression model to analyse the relationship between these variables to CO 2 emission variable in 133 countries. The result shows that all these factors jointly impacted on CO 2 emissions energy use and demographic factors should be controlled due to the highest contribution to the level of CO 2 . The research findings are expected to shed a light on those countries policy making in coping with climate change.
