“…Recent Chinese studies, such as those by Hassan et al [174], Liu et al [175], Zhou et al [176], and Xie and Teo [177], highlight how China's investment in cleaner technologies and international trade participation have led to a shift towards less carbon-intensive industrial practices. Comparing these results with similar research, like that of Xie et al [178], Li et al [179], Zhang et al [180], Chi and Meng [181], and Boamah et al [182], we observe consensus in the positive correlation between economic growth and emissions. However, the extent of this relationship and its mitigation through technology and foreign direct investment vary.…”

This paper presents an empirical investigation into the effects of energy transition and digitization on carbon dioxide emissions, serving as a proxy for environmental sustainability, across 28 Chinese provinces from 2000 to 2021. Utilizing both static and dynamic regression analyses, the study reveals a significant driving effect of the energy transition on environmental sustainability, primarily through a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions. Notably, this influence is more pronounced in the eastern region of China, followed by the central and western regions, indicating regional heterogeneity in the impact of the energy transition. Furthermore, digitization is found to have a substantial moderating effect, enhancing energy conservation and emission reductions. As digitization progresses, its capability to diminish the impact of energy transitions on carbon dioxide emissions becomes more apparent, particularly in the eastern region, while this effect is less marked in central and western China. The study also delves into the nonlinear relationship between energy transitions and carbon dioxide emissions, discovering that increased levels of digitization can exacerbate the negative effects of energy transitions on emissions. These findings offer valuable insights into the dynamics of energy transition and digitalization, highlighting their crucial roles in shaping environmental sustainability in China.

Uncertainty remains regarding the impact of foreign direct investments on countries' environmental policies and pollution levels. Therefore, this study examines the relationship between foreign direct investment in ows, out ows, and carbon dioxide emissions for EU (European Union) member states. Accordingly, the data for the period 1993-2019 were subjected to the Panel Fourier symmetric and asymmetric causality tests for 21 EU countries. According to the panel Fourier symmetric causality test results, the effect of foreign investment out ows on carbon dioxide emissions is more dominant in general. While there is a bidirectional relationship between these variables in the Austrian and Slovak Republics, there is a unidirectional relationship between foreign investment out ows to carbon dioxide emissions in Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Ireland, and Portugal. On the other hand, one-way causality was found from foreign investment in ows to carbon dioxide emissions in Belgium, Cyprus, France, Ireland, and Romania and from carbon dioxide emissions to foreign investment in ows in Finland, Greece, and Sweden. According to the panel Fourier asymmetric causality test results, causality between variables is statistically signi cant in many countries. This shows that the asymmetric relationship is essential for the variables.
