Introduction and Objective: Considering the different views regarding the effect of the depth of democracy on the environment, in the present research, a comparative study was conducted between Iran and South Korea regarding to the effect of the depth of democracy on the relationship between economic growth and greenhouse gas emissions.
Material and Methods: In order to achieve the objectives of the research, the required data collected from the World Bank during the period of 1981-2021 and the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model used to analyze the data.
Results: The results showed that the depth of democracy, the growth rate of gross domestic product and labor force in South Korea is more than Iran, and the amount of greenhouse gas emissions and fixed capital formation in Iran is more than South Korea. In addition, in the long term, the depth of democracy has an inverse effect and gross domestic product, the ratio of capital formation to gross domestic product and labor has direct effect on the emission of greenhouse gases in both countries. Also, the depth of democracy in the long term reduces the direct effect of gross domestic production on the amount of greenhouse gas emissions of both countries.
Conclusion: Increasing the depth of democracy reduces the amount of greenhouse gas emissions and reduces the direct effects of economic growth on greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, it is suggested to the officials of the country especially the Ministry of Interior to provide the basis for the formation and growth of non-governmental organizations, especially in the field of environment.
