摘要：Environmental issues are one of the crucial problems in the global debate. According to most expert on ecology,economic development decreases the environmental quality. From this point of view,many empirical studies presented in support of the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis,which means that there exists an inverse U-shaped relationship between environmental pollution and economic growth. In this context,this study aims to test the validity of the EKC hypothesis for a panel of 10 Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Members from 1970 to 2014. The findings of the study from Dynamic SUR estimations show that there is an N-shaped EKC for Algeria,Tunisia and Turkey and present that there is an opposite of the N-shaped EKC for Sudan. Thus,the results showed actions against the environmental problems cannot wait until economic growth.
