What is it about?
In recent times, there has been increase in climate change protest across the globe. However, whether decrease in emissions is connected with climate change protest or not is yet to be documented in the literature. Consequently, the aim of this study is to fill this gap by examining ex-post detection of how climate change protests and its interconnectedness with CO2 emissions. Using the Bai and Perron (1998) structural break test, we estimate the number of breaks as well as the date of such structural breaks in CO2 emissions series for 41 countries.

Why is it important?
Because we observed that climate change protests are fairly consistent with the dates of breaks in Europe and Asia, We observe that climate change protests are fairly consistent with the dates of breaks in Europe and Asia, but not in BRICS economies or US, Canada and other countries. not in BRICS economies or US, Canada and other countries.
Perspectives
This research work gives the opportunity to collaborate with diverse scholars on an important issue in the world today. Our environment is very important and each and every one of us must make efforts to preserve it. This article helps us reduce CO2 emissions across the world.
