Abstract Based on the data of BP Statistical Review of World Energy, KOF Globalization Index, and the World Development Indicators, this paper explores the impact of technological innovation on CO2 emissions in a panel of 96 countries over the period 1996–2018 with spatial econometric models. First, both CO2 emissions and RD the “pollution haven” in economic globalization and the guidance of environmental protection awareness in social globalization deserve more attention. Therefore, countries should pay attention to the spillover effects of technological innovation, improve the corresponding level of globalization according to their own characteristics, and ultimately enhance environmental quality through international cooperation.

• Investigating the asymmetric linkages between infrastructure development, green innovation, and consumption-based material footprint: Novel empirical estimations from highly resource-consuming economies (2021, background): “These innovations reduce resource dependency and ensure long-term environmental 104 sustainability (Chen and Lee, 2020).”
• The roles of export diversification and composite country risks in carbon emissions abatement: evidence from the signatories of the regional comprehensive economic partnership agreement (2021, background): “…the other hand, according to Chen et al. (2019), a country’s technological innovation level can be considered an effective determinant of its CO2 emission levels; this dynamic causal relationship is also supported by Chen and Lee (2020), Lin and Zhu (2019), and Shahbaz et al. (2020), among others.”
