Abstract
Globally, carbon dioxide (CO2) emission is a significant element of
environmental pollution because of corrupt economic activities
that requires regulators’ focus and researchers’ emphasis. Hence,
the current research evaluates economic growth on CO2 emissions
in Chinese economy. The article has taken six factors of economic
growth on board along with sustainable innovation to
predict CO2 emissions. Secondary data, in this regard, has been
used which has been borrowed from World Bank from 1986 to
2020. Augmented Dickey-Fuller test is employed to scrutnize unit
root, while QARDL model has been run to identify the association
between the constructs. Findings revealed that factors such as
gross domestic product, national income, human capital, employment
ratio, inflation and exports signifies CO2 emissions, hence
are corrupt the environment. While sustainability oriented innovation
reduces the emissions. This study monitors the policymakers
while formulating regulators related to reducing the level of CO2
emission using economic growth factors and sustainability-oriented
eco-innovation.
