| Abstract: | This chapter examines the relationship between economic development, governance and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions among small states worldwide. Conceptually, the paper uses an Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) framework which hypothesizes an inverted U-shaped relationship between GDP and CO2 emissions. It extends this framework by incorporating governance, with the purpose of capturing the extent to which this can decouple the relationship between GDP and pollution within the context of small states. Random and Fixed Effects econometric estimation methods are employed on a panel dataset covering 34 small states over the period 2002-2015, including Carbon Emissions, GDP per capita and six key governance measures as set out by the World Bank.
