This study was conducted to identify factors that affect climate change. While other
regulatory variables such as agricultural land, air pollution, rural population, Gross
Domestic Product, migration and natural disasters have been used in this analysis.
The study has used 19 selected Asian countries from 1995 to 2014. Panel data
methods have been used in this study. The results showed that agricultural land,
migration, natural disasters and Gross Domestic Product positively correlated to
climate change. The green plant replanting program needs to be intensified so that
the problem of climate change can be overcome. Subsequently, the increase in
economic activity not only enhances the economy of the Asian countries but
contributes to increased pollution and carbon. Programs such as replanting of green
plants need to be enhanced by policy makers and developers to mitigate these effects.
