为了实现可持续发展目标（sdg），各国政府已承诺推动有关二氧化碳（CO2）排放主要决定因素的可持续环境政策。本研究着眼于信息通信技术（ICT）对可持续环境的重要性，确定了发展中国家ICT与二氧化碳排放之间的长期关系。本研究采用面板汇总平均群体自回归分配滞后（PMG-ARDL）模型对58个发展中国家1990年至2014年的数据进行分析。这一分析清楚地表明，ICT的使用对相对低收入的发展中国家的环境有利，而对相对高收入的发展中国家则没有明显的关系。为了实现环境的可持续性，需要更加强调信息通信技术政策，以减轻最不发达国家的环境问题。
To achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), governments have committed to promote policies towards a sustainable environment regarding the main determinants of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Focusing on the importance of the information and communication technology (ICT) on sustainable environment, this study identifies the long-run relationship between ICT and CO2emissions in developing countries. This study uses a panel pooled mean group autoregressive distributive lag (PMG-ARDL) model for 58 developing nations from 1990 to 2014. This analysis clearly shows that the use of ICT is environmentally favorable for relatively low-income developing countries, while no evident relationship exists for relatively high-income developing countries. To achieve environmental sustainability, ICT policies need to be more emphasized to mitigate environmental problems in least-developed countries.
