In the case of economic development that has taken place in the world over the past decades, or what has become known as globalization and technological progress, there is a need to study and analyze the negative impact of this development. The study aimed to examine the impact of the economic development of the Arab countries on the environment through the index of the rate of carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) during the period from 1970 to 2017 in a range of variables: an economic indicators represented in GDP, and- a representative technology indicator in the amount of fuel used For the production, of energy and amount of electricity consumed, and a demographic indicator represented in the rate of population growth, the study was applied to 17 Arab countries. The study used the methodology of the VAR model. E-views 8.0 was used to analyze the cointegration tests for model variables, to ensure the stability of the model and to use it to predict the results of the model. The study found that the emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) is significantly and positively affected by the GDP and population growth rate, and is negatively affected by the rate of fuel used and the amount of electricity consumed.
