Prediction of CO2 Emissions in India Using ARIMA Models

This research uses annual time series data on CO2 emissions in India from 1960 to 2017, to model and forecast CO2 using the Box – Jenkins ARIMA approach. Our diagnostic tests indicate that India CO2 emission data is I (2). The study presents the ARIMA (2, 2, 0) model. The diagnostic tests further imply that the presented model is stable and suitable. The results of the study establish that CO2 emissions in India are likely to increase and thereby exposing India to climate related challenges. 5 policy prescriptions have been put forward
