Abstract

A good ecological environment is foundational to the survival and health of society. This study utilized data from the China Family Panel Studies to empirically examine the impact of implementing low-carbon cities on residents’ health. The results revealed that low-carbon cities enhanced residents’ health. Mechanism analysis revealed that the construction of low-carbon cities fosters residents’ health by improving air quality, expanding urban green spaces, encouraging residents to engage in physical exercise, and enhancing residents’ mental well-being. This research offers policy insights to guide governments in pursuing a sustainable development path that prioritizes both natural environments and residents’ health.
