This effect mainly driven by: (1) lower risks penalties, (2) increased use cost‐effective but polluting energy sources, (3) reduced investments technologies. The firm's emissions more pronounced under certain conditions: when local governments face substantial pressures; government officials are locally promoted or have high probability political promotion; firms economically important state‐owned; lack rigorous external oversight; operate environments with citizen participation. Our findings suggest aimed at rapid growth may conflict goals, providing insights for policymakers balancing protection emerging economies.
