• Bangladesh’s recent doorway to the spectacular growth trajectory is largely associated with the shared contributions of globalization, FDI, trade, economic growth, urbanization, energy consumption, innovation, and institutional quality that affect its natural environment. Earlier studies hardly incorporated these dynamics together especially innovation and institutional quality to examine their impacts on environmental degradation in Bangladesh. This study attempts to scrutinize the effect of globalization, foreign direct investment, economic growth, trade, innovation, urbanization, and energy consumption on CO 2 emissions in the presence of institutional quality in Bangladesh over the period 1972–2016 by utilizing dynamic ARDL simulations’ model by Jordan and Philips ( 2018 ). The investigated results depict that globalization; foreign direct investment, and innovation have a negative effect on CO 2 emissions in improving environmental quality while economic growth, trade, energy consumption, and urbanization positively impact CO 2 emissions and hence stimulate environmental degradation both in the long and short run. Besides, institutional quality measured by the political terror scale (PTS) affects CO 2 emissions positively and thereby degrades the quality of the environment in both the long and short run. Therefore, policy implication should go toward encouraging globalization, foreign direct investment and innovation; and the sensible utilization of income growth, trade potentials, energy consumption, urbanization and institution is required for the sake of environmental quality in Bangladesh.
