Abstract:
This study was aimed at investigating the determinants of environmental sustainability in 86 countries from 2007 to 2018. The natural gradient boosting (NGBoost) algorithm was implemented along with five machine learning models to forecast the trends of CO2 emissions. In addition, the SHapley Additive exPlanation (SHAP) technique was used to interpret the findings and analyze the contribution of the individual factors. The empirical results indicated that the predictions obtained using NGBoost were more accurate than those obtained using other models. The SHAP value exhibited a positive correlation among the amount of CO2 emissions, economic growth, and opportunity entrepreneurship. A negative correlation was observed among the governance, personnel freedom, education, and pollution.

Regression Analysis
In regression analysis, a regression equation is determined based on the line of best fit– a line that best fits the data points plotted in a graph. This line is also called the regression line. The algebraic equation for the regression line is called the regression equation. It is represented as:
