 This study investigated the relationship between carbon dioxide emissions, energy consumption, and gross domestic product in Russia over the period 1990 to 2020. The results suggest that there is a bi-directional causal flow between energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions, with a unidirectional link running from carbon dioxide emissions to gross domestic product. Additionally, the neutrality hypothesis was found to hold for the energy consumption, gross domestic product nexus. These findings imply that energy conservation measures should not adversely affect the economic growth path of the country.
