FOUR DETERMINANTS TO CONSTRAIN GHG EMISSIONS AND SIMULTANEOUSLY ENCOURAGE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF BRUNEI DARUSSALAM

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to discuss the four determinants of constraining greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, namely, population size, output per person, the energy intensity of production and how much fossil fuel is used in energy production, and how they can be used simultaneously to devise policies to encourage economic development of Brunei Darussalam. The approach used in this study is the qualitative research approach via library research and content analysis. Data was collected through data archives and document reviews. This paper does not provide solutions or a comprehensive study on better ways to reduce GHG emissions. Rather, giving ideas on how policies can be devised through the four determinants of constraining GHG emissions.
