This study aims to explore the effect of eco-innovation and renewable energy on carbon dioxide emissions (CDE) for G7 countries. Using regression models, the results reveal that eco-innovation and renewable energy lead to reducing CDE in the presence of governance variables. Additional analysis is conducted to examine whether Hofstede national culture dimensions moderate the nexus of "eco-innovation- carbon emission" and "renewable energy-carbon emission". The results show that individualism, long-term orientation, and indulgence dimensions moderate positively the eco-innovation-carbon emission relationship. Moreover, power distance and uncertainty avoidance dimensions moderate the relationship between renewable energy and CDE and help reduce carbon emissions. The outcomes of this study provide new insights and directives for policymakers and regulators. In fact, increased investment in eco-innovation and renewable energy will support the environmental agenda of G7 countries. National cultural dimensions should be taken into consideration to improve awareness of environmental quality. Moreover, the combination of governance indicators plays a key role in environmental sustainability.
本研究旨在探讨生态创新和可再生能源对七国集团国家二氧化碳排放（CDE）的影响。通过回归模型，结果显示在存在治理变量的情况下，生态创新和可再生能源会导致CDE减少。进行了额外的分析，以检验霍夫斯泰德国家文化维度是否调节“生态创新-碳排放”和“可再生能源-碳排放”之间的关系。结果表明，个人主义、长期导向和放纵维度正向调节生态创新与碳排放的关系。此外，权力距离和不确定性规避维度调节可再生能源与CDE之间的关系，并有助于减少碳排放。本研究的结果为政策制定者和监管者提供了新的见解和指导。事实上，增加对生态创新和可再生能源的投资将支持七国集团国家的环境议程。应考虑国家文化维度以提高对环境质量的认识。此外，治理指标的组合在环境可持续性方面起着关键作用。
