  abstract = {Interaction between human beings and their natural environment has led to threats to ecosystems. To study this relationship, several sociological theories have been developed, among them treadmill of destruction, world system position, ecological modernization, human ecology, treadmill of production and metabolic rift theories. Research studies in this field used the STochastic Impacts by Regression on Population, Affluence and Technology model. The present work tries to verify these theories via a panel data analysis of 114 countries during the period 1980-2010 to study the driving forces of environmental impact approximated by CO2 emissions. The originality of this research consists in the attempt to spot the maximum of CO2 emissions driving forces knowing that some driving forces were studied only for ecological footprint as environmental impact indicator. Findings support the fact that our human society cannot be optimistic about achieving sustainability since the current economic growth deteriorates environmental quality, even if we try to dematerialize our economies or to make changes at the institutional level.
