摘要

Green innovation is a critical path and concept for achieving energy conservation and emission reduction. It is critical to investigate the potential of green innovation for energy conservation and emission reduction. This paper quantifies the impact of green innovation on carbon emission reduction in my country using panel data from 30 provinces. After calculating the Moran index, a spatial econometric model is used to investigate the impact of green innovation variables on carbon emissions in my country. The findings show that carbon emissions have spillover and transfer effects on neighboring provinces; my country's green innovation efficiency can significantly promote carbon emission reduction, with the main means being increased openness, human capital, and energy efficiency.
