Abstract
Economic and financial development is effective on the quality of the environment of countries. Human activities threaten human health with various pollutants. High levels of greenhouse gas emissions have caused 2024 to be the warmest year on Earth since the Industrial Revolution. The present study aimed to investigate the factors effective in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in 1404. The study is descriptive in terms of data collection method (correlation branch) and applied in terms of purpose. The statistical population was the data of the Central Bank, Tax Affairs Organization, and Ministry of Energy with a sample of the last 7 years, which was analyzed with SPSS software. Assuming gross domestic product and green tax as factors effective in greenhouse gas emissions, the study concluded that green tax and gross domestic product have a significant nonlinear relationship with reducing greenhouse gas emissions, with a significance level of 0.050 and 0.036, respectively. Therefore, by using new technologies such as solar and wind energy and improving soil quality by collecting taxes to help develop a green belt of fruit trees around polluting industries, we can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase production, while maintaining a healthy lifestyle and having an impact on the well-being of society.
