Geopolitical tensions, including the Russia-Ukraine conflict, ongoing Middle-Eastern wars, and post-Cold War dynamics between USA Russia, have contributed to significant global political instability. These risks disrupt economic growth, destabilize energy supply chains, foster uncertainty, often prioritizing security over environmental sustainability. Existing literature inadequately addresses how geopolitical interact with sustainability, particularly within developed economies like Canada. To bridge this gap, study examines role of per capita income on outcomes under Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) framework, explicitly incorporating as a critical determinant. Using Canadian time series data spanning from 1980 2022, research employs autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) estimation technique explore short- long-term cointegrating relationships among key variables, consumption, trade openness, foreign direct investment (FDI), ICT development, financial development. The findings confirm inverted U-shaped EKC hypothesis for Canada, indicating that growth initially exacerbates carbon emissions (CO2) before leading improvements at higher levels. are found positively contribute CO2 emissions, emphasizing their barrier achieving validate robustness, Kernel Regularized Least Squares (KRLS) machine learning approach is employed, confirming consistency results. Additionally, Toda-Yamamoto causality test identifies directional causal variables. Policy recommendations emphasize need Canada implement targeted strategies mitigate impact outcomes. Specifically, advocates for: (1) diversifying sources reduce reliance geopolitically sensitive regions, (2) investing in renewable technologies ensure sustainable (3) enhancing policies prioritize low-carbon technologies.
