Abstract：
Considering the undeniable role and importance of the environment in people\'s lives, the present study is designed to investigate the combined effect of information and communication technology (ICT) and foreign direct investment (FDI) on achieving environmental sustainability. Since the increasing emission of carbon in society and its destructive environmental effects on social economic aspects and even political tensions have become a challenge, the main question of the research is what strategies have governments, especially oil exporting countries, used in the past to reduce the level they have discovered pollution and what policies do they want to follow in the future? Among the policies undertaken by the OPEC oil exporting countries, has the action for foreign direct investment (FDI) and the development of information and communication technology (ICT) been effective in preventing harmful environmental effects? For this purpose, data on renewable energy consumption, the intensity of use of information and communication technology, foreign direct investment (FDI), and urbanization have been used as explanatory variables, and carbon dioxide (CO2) emission as a dependent variable. The target countries selected are oil exporting countries (OPEC) for the period 2000 to 2020, and the analysis method used is panel VAR. The results showed that creating a shock in FDI, labor force, urban population, and renewable energy consumption decreases CO2 while creating a shock in Gross capital formation increases CO2. The impact of shock of ICT on CO2 is also insignificant and can be ignored. The results of variance analysis also showed that urban population, labor force, and FDI variables have the largest contribution in explaining the behavior of CO2; therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to FDI and try to increase the attraction of foreign direct investment to reduce CO2 in OPEC countries.

摘要：
考虑到环境在人们生活中的不可否认的作用和重要性，本研究旨在调查信息和通信技术（ICT）和外国直接投资（FDI）对实现环境可持续性的综合影响。由于社会碳排放量的增加及其对社会经济方面甚至政治紧张局势的破坏性环境影响已成为挑战，研究的主要问题是政府有什么战略，特别是石油出口国，过去用来降低他们发现的污染水平，未来他们想遵循什么政策？在欧佩克石油出口国采取的政策中，外国直接投资（FDI）和信息和通信技术（ICT）的发展是否有效地防止了有害的环境影响？可再生能源消费数据，信息和通信技术的使用强度，外国直接投资(FDI)，城市化被用作解释变量，和二氧化碳(CO2)排放量作为因变量。选择的目标国家是2000年至2020年的石油出口国（OPEC），使用的分析方法是面板VAR。结果表明，在外国直接投资中造成冲击，劳动力,城市人口,可再生能源消费减少了二氧化碳，同时对资本形成总额造成冲击，增加了二氧化碳。ICT的冲击对CO2的影响也是微不足道的，可以忽略不计。方差分析的结果还表明，城市人口，劳动力,外国直接投资变量在解释二氧化碳行为方面贡献最大；因此，欧佩克国家有必要关注FDI，并尝试增加对外国直接投资的吸引力，以减少CO2。JEL:C23,F43,F64.
