In this study, we examine the long-run effect of environmental-related technological innovation, institutional quality, trade openness, energy consumption, and economic growth on CO2 emissions in APEC countries from 2004 to 2018. Firstly, panel unit root tests were used to explore the stationarity of each data series. The panel unit root test findings showed that all data series are stationary at the first difference. Second, the Westerlund panel cointegration test was used to deal with heterogeneity and cross-sectional dependence. Thirdly, the empirical findings from the augmented mean group (AMG) and common correlated effects mean group (CCEMG) estimators indicate that environmental-related technological innovation and institutional quality destructively affect CO2 emissions. In contrast, trade openness, energy consumption, and economic growth positively impact CO2 emissions. While causality analysis refers to the unidirectional causality runs from trade openness, energy consumption to CO2 emission and bidirectional causality relationships are between technological innovation, institutional quality, GDP, CO2 emission. Based on the findings, we proposed that APEC countries should raise investment in environmental-related technological innovation and improve the quality of the institutional environment to achieve sustainable development targets.

“…Scholars have mainly selected measurement indicators from two aspects: patents and technical cooperation. For patents, the corresponding indicators are the number of patent applications (Ahma et al, 2022;Song et al, 2022b), patents granted (Liang et al, 2022), and patents owned (Wang et al, 2023;Wei et al, 2023). Technological cooperation mainly includes technical cooperation grants .…”

Exploring the relationship between industrial green development, technological innovation, and employment structure, especially the impact between industrial green development and technological innovation on employment structure, is of enormous theoretical and practical importance to achieve high-quality employment as well as optimize the employment structure of China. Thirty Chinese provinces’ data from 2009 to 2019 is adopted to assess industrial green development levels. Considering the above, this research innovatively integrates industrial green development, technological innovation, and employment structure into an analytical framework, and empirically investigates the effects of the two factors and their interaction on employment structure by adopting a two-way fixed effects model. The specific conclusions are presented as follows. Firstly, China’s industrial green development levels exhibit a fluctuating and rising time-series evolutionary feature from 2009 to 2019 and have regional differences. Secondly, industrial green development, technological innovation, and their interaction are conducive to optimizing China’s employment structure. Thirdly, the eastern and northeastern areas’ employment structure optimization is boosted by industrial green development. However, the corresponding regression coefficients in the western and central areas are not significant. The northeastern, eastern, and western areas’ technological innovation encourages employment structure improvement. Instead, the employment structure is hampered by technological innovation in the central region. An interaction between industrial green evolution and technological innovation positively affects relevant employment structures in the four regions. Specific results of this research are of necessary theoretical significance and the realistic reference price for whether industrial green development and the interplay affect employment structure.

“…Countries such as China, India and South Africa exhibit a nonlinear correlation between FDI and CO 2 emissions. FDI and CO 2 emissions in China are moving in tandem, and this suggests a structural breach in the underlying framework (Ahmad et al, 2023; Gong et al, 2021). Increased agricultural productivity reduces poverty, improves food security, and encourages economic growth.…”

“…China's production industry has developed quickly in the past several years, increasing the export of electronic products worth US$ 757,723.68 million in 2020, exceeding the Japan, European Union (EU), and the United States (US) economy, having 18% share in the international market. For instance, in 2020, half of European Union imports were from non‐EU countries, China leads with an import of 36%, and the US with only 19% import, China import to EU countries increased from 81 billion to 121 billion euros (Ahmad et al, 2023). Technological Advancement in China has a noticeable role in the economic growth of the nation, large number of people involved in the manufacture industry.…”

“…Consequently, country industry sector grows more rapidly; but, rapid economic development has negative impact on environment. As a result, China's contribution to global CO 2 emissions is about 27% (Ahmad et al, 2023). Therefore, although China have the advantage of producing cheap product as compare to the US, Japan, and even South Korea, at the meantime, it contributes a large amount of carbon emission to the globe.…”

Large amount of carbon emission is the main hazard to environment and human health. The aim of this research is to investigate the impact of economic growth, forest zone, agricultural productivity, and energy consumption on environmental pollution in China using time series data from 1980 to 2020. The underline research utilized dynamic ordinary least‐squares (DOLS) method, Johansen and Engle–Granger cointegration tests, and the autoregressive‐distributed lag (ARDL) technique to analyze the varying data set. To compare findings, fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) and canonical cointegrating regression (CCR) estimators are estimated. Energy use and population raise CO2 emissions with 1% economic development. Long‐term CO2 emissions may be reduced by 1% agriculture production and forestry zone growth. The Granger causality test showed causation between all variables. Results reveal that China might achieve sustainable development goals by cutting down CO2 emissions and mitigate global climate change. The underline research presents policy recommendations for attaining environmental sustainability in China through green investment by reducing carbon emissions. These policies highlight promoting use of renewable energy, financing green technological progression in agricultural productivity, and the ecological feasibility of China's forests.
