“…All these point to the fact that industrialization adds to carbon emission in developing countries. On the contrary, the study by Anochiwa et al (2022) revealed that growing industrialization did not always result in a rise in emissions in the United States. Similarly, Oduola et al (2022) have shown that industrialization in G7 countries has little to no effect on carbon emissions.…”

“…In the study by Anochiwa et al (2022), trade openness influences the level of industrialization in central Africa, which, also adds to the level of carbon emission in the sub‐region. Similarly, the study by Appiah et al (2021) in South Korea revealed that trade openness was crucial for minimizing industrialization's adverse environmental effects.…”

“…Several factors, including environmental laws, technological advancements, and institutional structures in the participating nations, influence the impact of import and export openness. As a result, creating successful policies that encourage sustainable development and reduce carbon emissions globally requires a thorough knowledge of these interrelationships.In the study byAnochiwa et al (2022), trade openness influences the level of industrialization in central Africa, which, also adds to the level of carbon emission in the sub-region.

The study analyzed the linkage among industrialization, trade openness, and consumption‐based carbon emissions in Sub‐Sahara Africa (SSA) to establish how Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 8 and 9 can be achieved without negatively affecting the climate—SDG 13. Based on insights drawn from the environmental governance and economic integration theories, we developed a model that connects industrialization, trade openness and consumption‐based carbon emission in SSA, as the region strives to balance development with climate protection. We used purposive sampling to select 30 out of 46 countries in SSA with readily available data on the International Energy Agency and the World Development Indicators databases from 2000 to 2021. The study utilized the dynamic common correlated effect and the pooled mean group estimators for the empirical analysis. The results revealed that industry growth has an affirmative link with consumption‐based carbon emissions. Similarly, urban growth recorded a positive association with carbon emission. Moreover, trade openness positively moderates the link between industry growth and carbon emissions. The findings affirm the need for strengthening policies and regulations to promote industry growth (SDG 9), while ensuring climate protection in SSA to achieve SDG 13.

“…Since earlier research has yet to thoroughly investigate the connection between industrial activities in various nations and their direct and indirect influence on global emissions [ [64] , [65] , [66] ], this work represents a significant advancement in the field. Third, unlike prior studies that have solely looked at pollution mitigation techniques [ 67 , 68 ], this one considers the effect of REC, industrialization, and the COVID-19 epidemic on the decarbonization endeavour. Green energy deployment, cleaner manufacturing technology adoption, and disease prevention and control techniques are used in the research to measure the success of the decarbonization agenda.…”

This study explores the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on sustainable development across 51 countries during urbanization. Using panel data, the study examines AI's effects on sustainable development through three dimensions: R&D innovation, infrastructure, and market advantage. The results demonstrate that AI promotes sustainable development, with AI R&D innovation exerting the strongest influence, followed by AI infrastructure, whereas AI market advantage has the smallest impact. Additionally, the study uncovers regional heterogeneity in AI's impacts. In countries with upper middle sustainable development levels (60%–70% quantiles), AI's promoting effect is the strongest. Moreover, urbanization plays a threshold role in the relationship between AI and sustainable development. When urbanization is below the threshold, AI infrastructure and R&D innovation promote sustainable development, whereas AI market advantage inhibit it. Conversely, when urbanization exceeds this threshold, AI infrastructure inhibits sustainable development, the impact of AI R&D innovation becomes insignificant, and AI market advantage begin to promote sustainable development. This study recommends governments should consider the level of urbanization and sustainable development when crafting sustainable development policies utilizing AI.
