Recently, economic environmental degradation is being considered a leading chellenge in forefront of policy analysts. Thus, the present study introduces core environmental determinants such as infrastructure development, finacail inclusion, gross domestic product, population, and renewable energy consumption. Financial inclusion (FI) is crucial for attaining a environment. The present study selects the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) over period of 2004-2022. The results show that financial inclusin, infrastructure development(ID), and renewable energy (RE) play a vital influence in decreasing carbon emissions. The OECD nations should surge their investment in renewable energy and infrastructure development. Furthermore, to ensure long-term environmental sustainability, it is imperative to broaden the scope of FI. Thus, the inclusion of green infrastructure is essential in order to shift from the utilization of fossil fuels to RE sources. Similarly, policymakers should incorporate FI into climate actions at the local, national, and regional levels. However, it is crucial to promote the economic shift towards RE sources in order to mitigate the environmental impact from humn and economic activities. This study is conducive to the execution of the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).
最近，经济环境退化被视为政策分析师面前的一项主要挑战。因此，本研究引入了基础设施发展、金融包容性、国内生产总值、人口和可再生能源消费等核心环境决定因素。金融包容性（FI）对于实现一个环境至关重要。本研究选取了经济合作与发展组织（OECD）在2004年至2022年期间的数据。结果表明，金融包容性、基础设施发展（ID）和可再生能源（RE）在减少碳排放方面发挥着至关重要的影响。经合组织国家应增加对可再生能源和基础设施发展的投资。此外，为确保长期环境可持续性，扩大金融包容性的范围势在必行。因此，纳入绿色基础设施对于从化石燃料利用转向可再生能源资源至关重要。同样，政策制定者应将金融包容性纳入地方、国家和区域各级的气候行动中。然而，促进向可再生能源资源的经济转型以减轻人类和经济活动对环境的影响至关重要。本研究有助于联合国（UN）可持续发展目标（SDG）的实施。
