Abstract

This research aims to examine the impact of the digital economy on carbon emission using a panel data (2011–2022) from the Yangtze River Economic Belt. An analysis was conducted using Stata to explore the relationship between the variables and the moderating effect of public health levels. The results reveal that there is a non-linear relationship between digital economy and carbon emissions in the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and this result remains valid even after conducting a robustness test. Furthermore, Public health is vital in mitigating how the digital economy affects carbon emissions. Policymakers should prioritize a coordinated strategy between the digital economy and public health to achieve carbon reduction. This requires building foundational infrastructure initially, then leveraging digital technologies to create smarter, healthier, and more sustainable cities.
