“…The findings of the study highlight the importance of a technological shift in the energy consumption mix towards renewables as the path to improving energy and carbon efficiency and, in turn, reducing CO 2 emissions. Similar conclusions have been drawn by previous studies conducted by Xu et al [ 41 ] and Usman et al [ 42 ].…”

“…China's ICT manufacturing and ICT service industries are developing rapidly, and industrial co-agglomeration patterns are gradually taking shape in the context of government-led and autonomous enterprise development, so ICT industrial co-agglomeration is worth discussing. (2) The importance of promoting low-carbon economic development through industrial co-agglomeration has received increasing attention. The ICT industry is a resource-saving and environmentally friendly industry whose characteristics predict that ICT industrial co-agglomeration development will have an important impact on carbon productivity.…”

“…The problem of global warming caused by greenhouse gas emissions has become one of the important factors limiting the sustainable development of human society. With the accelerated pace of industrialization and urbanization, the demand for energy consumption and carbon emissions continues to grow, and global climate problems are frequent, with green development gradually becoming an international consensus [1,2]. With the dilemma of carbon emission reduction and economic growth being mutually constrained, countries worldwide are actively transforming their economic development patterns to achieve green, low-carbon and sustainable economic goals to improve the "extensive economy growth" at the cost of resources and environment.…”

In the era of the digital economy, the information and communication technology (ICT) industry has opened up a new round of expansion, while forming co-located development in the space. ICT industrial co-agglomeration has tremendous advantages in promoting economic development and achieving carbon neutrality goals. This paper analyzes the spatio-temporal characteristics of ICT industrial co-agglomeration and carbon productivity from 2009 to 2019 in China. It empirically explores the impact of ICT industrial co-agglomeration on carbon productivity using a systematic GMM model. Additionally, it analyses the spatial and temporal heterogeneity of ICT industrial co-agglomeration and other factors affecting carbon productivity using a geographically and temporally weighted regression (GTWR) model. The findings are as follows: (1) China’s ICT industrial co-agglomeration and carbon productivity show an upward trend. Additionally, their characteristic of regional distribution is east–high and west–low. (2) ICT industrial co-agglomeration has a positive association with carbon productivity. (3) The impact of ICT industrial co-agglomeration on carbon productivity has significant spatial and temporal heterogeneity. The regression coefficient of ICT industrial co-agglomeration increases continuously during the study period, and the degree of impact is relatively larger in Northern China. As the degree of ICT industrial co-agglomeration continues to increase, its positive impact on carbon productivity across China is deepening. The findings of this paper complete the research on the impact of ICT industrial co-agglomeration on carbon productivity, and the related policy recommendations provide useful references for the digital economy and sustainable development.

PurposeEnvironmental protection and conservation of resources is a challenge for policymakers to attain sustainable growth and development. The current study uses the variable of inclusive growth instead of the traditional measure of growth.Design/methodology/approachThe link between inclusive growth, renewable energy, industrial production, trade openness and the environment is explored by using panel data from 1995 to 2019 in Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) countries. Before applying formal techniques, unit root tests were applied to check the stationarity of each variable. The long-run relationship among factors was found by the Kao cointegration test. The panel dynamic ordinary least squares (DLOS) was employed for regression estimation.FindingsThe results verified a decrease in ecological footprint (EF) in response to a potential rise in renewable energy consumption. An upsurge in EFs was explored due to a rise in gross domestic product (GDP) per person employed and trade openness. The EF significantly decreased by 0.671% in response to a 1% rise in renewable energy consumption.Research limitations/implicationsIt is highly suggested to enhance renewable energy usage. To achieve this, policymakers should implement and emphasize efficient energy technologies to ensure improving the environment. Efficient use of renewable energy resources will decrease global warming effects and ensure the sustainable use of scarce resources.Originality/valueIt first took into account the variable of inclusive growth instead of traditional growth measures. It explored the impact of GDP per person employed as an indicator of inclusive growth.
