Over the years, the world has been plagued by issues brought about by environmental degradation, climate change, and environmental health issues. Core to the environmental risk and security issues is the greenhouse gas emission which reflects carbon dioxide emissions effect on global climate. In order to better understand this stuff, the study explored the combined effect of increasing railway transport, air transport and urbanisation on the environment in emerging economies from 1995 to 2016. The study employed the Pesaran CD, average mean group (AMG), correlated effect mean group (CCEMG) and cointegration test approach. The study revealed that rail transport and urban population show good statistical strength to improve the environment. Findings from the study indicate that the proliferation of the emerging economies such as India, China, Brazil, Mexico, Indonesia, Turkey and Russia has greatly contributed to the growth of environmental sustainability. There is a lot of policy blueprint mentioned in this study, in which when adhere to could provide pertinent decision advocate in building quality environmental economies.
