Improving carbon emission performance (CEP) is the key to realizing the goal of “carbon peaking and carbon neutrality” for China. Using a panel dataset of 282 cities at prefecture level and above in China from 2003 to 2017, this study employs the Global Malmquist–Luenberger (GML) index to measure CEP. Moreover, this study investigates the effect and transmission mechanisms of urbanization on CEP based on the extended STIRPAT model. The results show a significant positive “U-shaped” relationship between urbanization and CEP. When urbanization exceeds the inflection point, urbanization is conducive to improve CEP in Chinese cities. The mechanism analysis illustrates that human capital has a positive impact on CEP, while technological innovation inhibits it. The findings of this study can provide a scientific basis for local governments to formulate different strategies to improve China’s high-quality development through human capital accumulation and low cost and scale of low-carbon technologies.

“…In contrast, in large cities, urbanization expansion was associated with an increase in CO2e. Similarly, Tang & Hu (2023) revealed that land urbanization has the potential to facilitate a reduction in CO2e by optimizing structures, improving efficiency, and implementing judicious control of land-use intensity.…”

This study explores the interconnections among industrialization, urbanization, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), and CO2 emissions (CO2e) across 31 OECD countries. In addition, it analyzes how education moderates these relationships. This study employs CO2e as the explained variable, while industrialization, urbanization, and FDI serve as explanatory variables, with education as a moderator. This research utilized Hierarchical regression analysis was used to examine how education moderates the associations among industrialization, urbanization, FDI, and CO2e. Additionally, to validate the reliability of our results, we utilized the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM). The results of this study imply that CO2e levels increase with the level of industrialization and urbanization. The pursuit of education also contributed to the increase in CO2e. Moreover, education and industrialization have detrimental effects on CO2e. This study contributes uniquely to the literature by investigating the moderating influence of education on the relationships between independent variables and CO2e.
