Today, there are two different perspectives on the long-term effects of international trade on countries' economies in terms of environmental perspective. One view claims that countries are deregulating their country to promote free trade, which reduces their environmental standards and, ultimately, the decline of the international environment. Another view believes that free trade through optimal allocation of resources allows countries to specialize in the production of goods and services in which they have a relative advantage, and hence, improve energy intensity. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of international trade and foreign direct investment on carbon dioxide emissions in D8 countries with the panel data approach. This study uses data from 1993 to 2018 from the World Bank. The results show that the coefficient related to the GDP variable is positive and for the GDP square grade is negative, which confirms the Kuznets environmental hypothesis in the studied countries. Foreign direct investment has no significant effect on carbon dioxide emissions. Also, the results show that exports and imports of goods and services have a positive and significant effect on carbon dioxide emissions that is consistent with conventional theories as well as research background. Energy intensity and proportion of urban population have also had a positive and significant effect on carbon dioxide emissions.

Due to the need forenergy efficiency inindustrial sector, assessment of thefactors affectingenergy intensity seems as an essential task.Inthis study, using panel data approach, the main factorsaffectingenergy intensityinnine branches of Iran's industry during 1374-1389 period were examined. Results show that both energy price and technology are inversely related to the energy intensity. Meanwhile, the results also indicate that the speed of energy consumption (growth of energy consumption) is less than the speed of growing of value added in industries (growth of production) which in turn is indicative of the fact that bigger scale manufactures are more energy-efficient. Therefore, we recommende the use of bigger scale industies through integrating small scale ones. In addition, energy price adjustment, promotion of technology and inflation rate control, as the permanent policies to decrease energy intensity, could be effective.
