Abstract: Due to climate concerns, the pursuit of green, low-carbon, and sustainable development has become a primary objective for many nations worldwide. Thus, this study employs panel data from 30 Chinese provinces from 2009 to 2019 to investigate the relationship between the innovation environment, carbon intensity, and the information industry, with specific focus on the emphasis on national innovations, the level of technological innovations, and the transformation of innovations. According to the findings, a favorable innovation environment can significantly mitigate carbon dioxide emissions, while the growth of the information industry can help advance this environment.
