Impact of Climate Change on Energy in Saudi Arabia: An Application of the ARDL Bound Testing Approach

Energy abundance is driving the global economy. But this comes at a price: our energies to extract energy from fossil fuels and renewable energy sources are costing us dearly in terms of land. The pollution generated by the production and consumption of energy, including the combustion of biomass, is changing the ecology of the entire planet. This study aims to analyze the contributions of renewable and non-renewable energies in Saudi Arabia to long-term global climate change. This study is based on the Auto-Regressive Distributive Lags (ARDL) approach that is proposed by Pesaranc et al during the period 1990-2019. The empirical estimate yields interesting results. There is a relationship between climate change, renewable and non-renewable energy in the long term.
