This study examines effect of sectoral output (agriculture, industry and services) on environmental degradation in Pakistan ranging from period 1972 to 2017. This study makes use of Augmented Dickey Fuller test (ADF) followed by Autoregressive distributed lag model (ARDL). The empirical results show that Co2 emission in Pakistan is increased by Industrial sector output, population and energy consumption while agriculture sector output, services sector output and exports are reducing carbon dioxide emission.
