Many countries are trying to achieve carbon neutrality targets by using environment-friendly technology and green growth. Thus, this analysis effort to identify the key role of green growth in improving the environmental quality. This study investigates the impact of green growth, income, environmental taxes, environment-friendly technology, renewable energy, and financial development in the context of 12 Asian economies over the period of 1990 to 2018. This study used the method of cross-section – augmented autoregressive distributed lag (CS–ARDL) to find out the impact of green growth and growth (GDP) on environment quality with some plausible variables under the scheme of environmental Kuznets curve (EKC). The study employed the method of CS–ARDL and for robustness the augmented mean group (AMG) method to find out the impact of green growth and GDP growth on environment quality with some plausible variables under the scheme of EKC. The results of CS–ARDL concluded that CO₂ is significantly affected by GDP growth, green growth, and technological change in the context of Asian economies. The GDP square is inversely and the GDP growth is positively related to the CO₂, indicating the presence of inverted U-shaped EKC in this region. But the inverse relationship between green growth and green growth square and concave EKC is observed in Asian countries. The study used the Dumitrescu and Hurlin panel test to gauge the causality between the variables. This study suggested that policymakers should focus on transforming the country’s energy system in ways that will reduce energy-related CO₂ emissions faster than previously expected.
