PurposeThis paper aims to examine the impact of information and telecommunication technologies (ICT-proxied by mobile phone subscription and Internet usage) on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries from 1990 to 2018.Design/methodology/approachThe Cross-section Autoregressive Distributed Lag (CS-ARDL) model is employed to address the potential cross-section dependence problem. Common Correlated Effects Mean Group (CCEMG) and Augmented Mean Group (AMG) estimators are used to test for robustness of results.FindingsResults reveal contrasting effects of mobile phone subscription and Internet usage on CO2 emissions. While mobile phone penetration helps mitigate CO2 emissions, Internet usage tends to increase the emissions. Findings show that renewable energy is beneficial to the environment while economic growth is harmful to the environment. The effects of financial development and trade openness seem negligible.Practical implicationsThis study offers practical implications for policymakers. As different proxies of ICT could have contradictory impact on CO2, governments should be cautious against utilizing ICT to mitigate CO2. Findings point to the benefits of renewable energy in alleviating CO2 emissions. Therefore, governments are strongly advised to implement policies facilitating renewable energy consumption.Originality/valuePrevious studies ignored the problem of cross-section dependence which could lead to biased results and cause misleading inferences. This study aims to fill this void in the literature.

“…This study discovered that, while the synergistic advancement degree between urban digitalization and low-carbonization is continuously improving, the overall level is low and spatial heterogeneity is significant by analyzing the spatiotemporal evolution characteristics of the cooperation degree between urban digitalization and low-carbonization. Combined with practical development, we should first do an adequate task of integrating ecological preservation and digital construction [ 100 , 101 ], and encourage the conservation of energy, emission reductions, and sustainable growth in areas where energy consumption is high, such as the 5G network, big data centers, and industrial networks. Second, we should allocate digital construction in a rational way based on regional resource endowments and locations, and promote coordination and linkages between eastern, central, and western regions.…”

Achieving high-quality development of the city requires actively promoting coordinated digitalization and low-carbon development. Previous studies have focused on the unidirectional impact of urban digitalization on low-carbonization and there is a lack of research on their interactions. This study uses the generalized spatial three-stage least squares method and the spatial simultaneous equation to investigate the endogenous interactions between urban digitalization and low-carbonization. The properties of the spatiotemporal evolution are then examined using linked coordination degree models, kernel density, and spatial statistical approaches. Finally, using the spatial panel metering model, this study empirically investigates the motivations behind the synergistic advancement of digitalization and low-carbonization. The results show that: (1) There is an endogenous interaction between urban digitalization and low-carbonization and that this interaction pattern is closely linked to geographical proximity. (2) In general, both urban digitalization and low-carbonization have a positive spatial impact and a negative spatial interaction, and their coordination levels have a significant spatial impact. (3) Throughout the research period, the coordination degree of urban digitalization and low carbonization continued to increase, showing a positive spatial correlation and a balanced development trend. (4) Economic development, industrial structure, and human capital accumulation are vital internal drivers of the synergistic advancement of urban digitalization and low carbonization. Government capacities and technological innovations are key external factors that contribute to the synergistic advancement of urban digitalization and low-carbonization. Overall, the paper is essential not only to deepen understanding of the relationship between urban digitalization and low-carbonization but also to formulate policies for their coordinated development.

“…Smith and Brown (2020) used deep learning techniques to predict the spread of invasive species, demonstrating the potential of these technologies to improve invasive species management strategies. Wang et al (2023) investigated the means of reducing carbon emission through evaluating the fusion mechanism of digital and energy industries in China and proposing an evaluation index system for the fusion of these industries.…”

This systematic literature review explores the evolution and significance of environmental sustainability practices from 2010 to 2023. Through this exploration, we aim to uncover discernible patterns, emerging trends, and valuable insights that shed light on the trajectory of these practices and their far-reaching consequences for environmental conservation and sustainable development. The review highlights the growing awareness of ecological sustainability by using a four-step technique to select 351 papers. Our key findings underscore the critical role of multidisciplinary collaboration, data-driven decision-making, and adaptive management strategies in advancing environmental sustainability practices. Notably, technological advancements in data collection, analysis, and modeling, such as remote sensing, satellite technology, and citizen science initiatives, have substantially enhanced the efficacy of these practices. Furthermore, shifts in governmental frameworks and international agreements, such as the Paris Agreement and the Convention on Biological Diversity, have profoundly influenced the trajectory of environmental sustainability practices. This review serves as a valuable tool for comprehending the evolution and impact of environmental sustainability initiatives, offering insights that can inform policy decisions, future research, and practical applications toward fostering a more sustainable and harmonious coexistence with our planet.
