Economic activity has been the driving force behind the improvement in income, employment, and living standards, but it has also contributed to the degradation of the environment. The link between economic activity and environmental quality assumes importance in the current context of climate change, resource depletion, and sustainability. This paper attempts to conceptualize the link between economic activity and environmental quality through the lens of the Environmental Kuznets Curve, sustainable development, and green growth. The paper proposes a conceptual framework that links economic activity to environmental outcomes, emphasizing the importance of energy use, innovation, institutional quality, and environmental policies. The paper also investigates the current trends in economic development and offers policy insights for sustainable economic growth.
Keywords: Economic Activity, Environmental Quality, Sustainable Development, Green Growth, Environmental Kuznets Curve.
