In this study, co-integration and granger causality test that have been used to prove the relationship between carbon emission and human capital. Result shows a significant long term relationship between human capital and carbon emission. This is showing that improvement in human capital can make the effect on carbon emission reduction. Granger causality test results prove that the no bidirectional causality that exist between human capital and carbon emission in short term. The results of this study show that human capital development through education will help carbon emission reduction in the long term.
