The Impact of Emissions on the Environment within the Digital Economy

Currently, one of the biggest environmental problems is global warming. The category that directly affects global warming are greenhouse gases. In this context, Carbon dioxide emissions are the most substantial, as a result of which the earth’s temperature has risen by almost 1 degree Celsius over the last 100 years. The paper focuses on the comparison of European Union countries in terms of Carbon dioxide pollution and also on a detailed description of Carbon dioxide pollution from the perspective of the transport sector in Slovakia. In addition, the paper contains predictions of Carbon dioxide emissions development from the point of view of two scenarios applied to Slovakia.
