“…Os modelos clássicos do crescimento mostram a acumulação do capital e a geração do capital humano como os principais norteadores que conduzem ao desenvolvimento e a um modo de vida semelhante àquele experimentado pelas economias mais desenvolvidas. No entanto, a grande pressão exercida pelas entidades não governamentais, formuladores de política e pesquisadores tem apresentado as barreiras desses modelos, que não levam em consideração as consequências da utilização abundante dos recursos naturais, o que tem provocado um forte debate acerca da sustentabilidade (ROCHA; KHAN;LIMA, 2013).…”

A Região Norte brasileira tem sido centro de debates socioambientais por concentrar a maior parte da Amazônia Legal e nela estar ocorrendo um grande crescimento de atividades agropecuárias, florestal, mineral, industrial e outras atividades urbanas. Esta ampliação tem gerado vários impactos e um deles é a deterioração do meio ambiente. Neste ensejo, o presente estudo tem o intuito de modelar uma Curva de Kuznets Ambiental para a região Norte do Brasil para o período 2002 a 2015. Para isso, foram coletados dados sobre o PIB per capita – proxy de crescimento econômico - no IBGE e SIDRA. E os dados anuais da emissão de CO2 – proxy da degradação ambiental - para os sete estados da região norte, foram obtidos através do SEEG. Para a análise dos resultados foi utilizado o método de dados em painel. Verifica-se que Rondônia e Acre possuem as maiores variabilidades de emissão de CO2 nos anos estudados e que Roraima, Pará, Amapá e Tocantins mantiveram uma variabilidade pequena entre os anos. Esses resultados também semelhantes aos encontrados no PIB per capita. Sobre o formato da CKA para a região Norte do Brasil, conclui-se que ela se apresenta na forma de um U não invertido, como proposto na teoria.

“…According to Rocha et al (2013), "Grossman and Krueger adapted the Kuznets work using a crosssection model for 42 countries, correlating air quality with level of economic growth, the authors concluded that the concentration of pollutants increases with GDP per capita". A typical Kuznets Curve is shown in Figure 8.…”

In 2012, Leo Hickman said about the 2012United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP18): "Export of pollution from rich countries moves Climate Conference‖ (HICKMAN, The Guardian, 2012). The Conference resumed the ideas popularized by the World Bank at the end of the last century about the export of pollution to poor and developing countries (MIRANDA, 2012).In fact, those ideas of pollution transfer to poor and developing countries resurfaced (WORLD BANK, 1991).According to such ideas, export of pollution should be an international policy. On the other hand, authorities and planners in the least developed countries tend to see the implantation of industries as a sort of panacea, as capable to promote and accelerate economic development, by creating job opportunities and wealth. This has favored the implantation of pollutant industries in peripheral economies and, as a result, has made the proposed pollution transfer strategy a reality. The World Health Organization (WHO) strictly established the maximum permissible levels of pollution. According to WHO, about 92% of the world's population live in places that do not meet minimum air quality conditions, resulting in thousands of deaths (BBC, 2016).The major concern of WHO is the frequent disruption of those standards as authorities tend to adopt instead local or regional standards. The local or regional standards are established to meet the interests of incentive policies whose economic justifications are questionable. From the WHO's point of view, urgent government action is necessary to mitigate no communicable diseases: Urgent government action is needed to meet global targets to reduce the burden of no communicable diseases (NCDs), and prevent the annual toll of 16 million people dying

“…Certainly, the biggest challenge today is to maintain efficient development policies that minimize the costs of mitigating climate change. Thus, the understanding of the possible relationships between economic growth and environmental degradation has been expanded for the purposes of several studies in the scientific field (Rocha et al 2013;Rosen 2015;Wang and Christensen 2017;Azevedo et al 2020a, b;Bisset 2022).…”

The aim of this study was to analyze the existence of the Kuznets environmental curve (EKC) hypothesis for a diverse spectrum of environmental pollutants (carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide) from the Brazilian states from 1980 to 2020. In the Kuznets hypothesis, economic growth, represented by GDP per capita, grows inflection in relation to environmental degradation. Upon reaching a certain point, the relationship becomes inversely opposite, being a positive trend of growth and a retract to environmental indicators, as in the case of greenhouse gases. The application of regression models in strict observance of Grossman and Krueger's EKC econometric model (1995) allowed a critical analysis of the Brazilian empirical model relative to pollutant emissions. The results show the corroboration of the EKC hypothesis for carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide, but not methane gas. Additionally, the discussion on the subject was extended to the debate about Brazil on the world stage. Brazil is on the world stage as a major influencer in environmental issues, so everything empirically contributes, both to academia and public managers, by presenting evidence of the relationship of economic growth aligned with sustainable development. Thus, the study provides contributions to professionals, researchers, and international readers. On the other hand, this study shows as political implications the need for improvements and reformulations of environmental policies in favor of mitigating environmental degradation.
