Green innovation undoubtedly plays a significant role in generating employment opportunities, improving green economic activity, and increasing environmental sustainability. This study scrutinizes the effect of energy efficiency and green innovation on CO2 emissions for China using nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) from 1991 to 2019. Findings show that energy efficiency and green innovation contribute to reducing CO2 emissions in China. Energy efficiency and green innovation are also important nonlinear determinants of CO2 emissions. An increase in energy efficiency and green innovation lowers CO2 emissions, while a fall in energy efficiency and green innovation increases CO2 emissions in China in the long run. Some policy measures are suggested to attain carbon neutrality.
绿色创新无疑在创造就业机会、提高绿色经济活动和增加环境可持续性方面发挥着重要作用。本研究使用 1991 年至 2019 年的非线性自回归分布滞后（NARDL）模型，考察了能源效率和绿色创新对中国二氧化碳排放的影响。研究结果表明，能源效率和绿色创新有助于减少中国的二氧化碳排放。能源效率和绿色创新也是二氧化碳排放的重要非线性决定因素。从长期来看，能源效率和绿色创新的提高降低了中国的二氧化碳排放，而能源效率和绿色创新的下降则增加了中国的二氧化碳排放。本文提出了一些政策措施，以实现碳中和。
