The Kyoto Protocol, a climate change agreement, set goals to cut global CO2 emissions by 20%. This study looks at how countries in Asia and the Middle East are doing with the clean development mechanism since agreeing to this in 2012. They checked data from 2013 to 2017 on CO2 emissions, economy, trade, and foreign investments. The research found that economic growth and trade play roles in reducing CO2 emissions in these regions. Each country acts differently in meeting their commitments to cut emissions. It's important for countries to balance economic growth with efforts to reduce emissions by making realistic policies to fight climate change effectively.
