In today's world, sustainability has become a major concern. The current study attempts to look into the impact of six sustainable development values on economic growth and emissions of carbon footprints: freedom, equality, solidarity, tolerance, respect for nature, and shared mobility. The moderating importance of urban development in regulating the relationship of economic growth and carbon footprints has also been investigated in this study. The structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis technique was utilized to confirm pathways and verify path modeling in this work. Overall, 302 responses were selected for data analysis, and data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire with a random sampling technique. The study found that two of the six sustainable development values (tolerance and solidarity) have a beneficial impact on a country's economic growth. However, freedom, equality, respect for nature, and shared mobility are not indicators of a country's economic progress. Similarly, economic expansion helps to mediate the relationship between tolerance, solidarity, and carbon emissions. Although urban growth did not play a moderating role, it has a positive impact on carbon emissions. The current study suggests various implications for long-term development to improve an economy's or country's economic performance. Furthermore, complete emphasis must be paid to sustainable development values, which are more closely linked to economic growth but also help cut carbon emissions. Future research should look into the current model in other countries.
在当今世界，可持续性已成为一个主要关注点。本研究试图探讨六个可持续发展价值观（自由、平等、团结、宽容、尊重自然和共享出行）对经济增长和碳排放足迹的影响。本研究还调查了城市发展在调节经济增长与碳排放足迹关系方面的调节作用。本文采用结构方程建模（SEM）分析技术来确认路径并验证路径模型。总的来说，这项研究选择了 302 份回复进行数据分析，数据是通过随机抽样技术的自填式问卷收集的。研究发现，六个可持续发展价值观中有两个（宽容和团结）对一个国家的经济增长有积极影响。然而，自由、平等、尊重自然和共享出行并不是一个国家经济进步的指标。同样，经济扩张有助于调解宽容、团结和碳排放之间的关系。虽然城市增长没有起到调节作用，但它对碳排放有积极影响。本研究为长期发展提出了各种建议，以提高经济或国家的经济表现。此外，必须充分重视与经济增长更紧密相关的可持续发展价值观，同时也有助于减少碳排放。未来的研究应该在其他国家检验当前的模型。
