Abstract: The structure of the consumer society that has emerged in the world since the 1950s has led to an increase in the impact of economic activities on the environment. Recently, the incidence rates of various diseases have increased, especially in Eastern Europe , owing to environmental pollution and degradation. Therefore, this study aims to explain the impact of economic activities on the environment in Nordic countries using an ecological growth model. This study analyses causality relationships based on data on economic growth, capital accumulation, employment level, energy consumption, carbon dioxide emissions, carbon dioxide emissions, renewable energy production, environmental taxes, waste amounts and climate change in Nordic countries between 1995 and 2022. The analysis reveals a unidirectional causality relationship between economic growth and capital accumulation, energy consumption, carbon dioxide emissions, environmental taxes, air pollution, renewable energy and climate change in Nordic countries.
