| In the context of the Paris Agreement, many governments have been tackling climate change and trying to achieve net-zero emission targets by 2050, since these targets are vital to limiting global warming to 2°C for a sustainable planet. This study explores the linkage between environmental sustainability and environmental patents in Japan. For this purpose, the study covers 1975–2021 and employs novel econometric approaches such as the Fourier unit root, Fourier ARDL cointegration, and Fourier-based long-term coefficient techniques. As a result of the empirical findings, we first capture a long-run cointegration relationship between environmental sustainability, environmental patents, economic growth, and energy consumption. We unexpectedly discovered empirical evidence that contradicts the existing literature. According to the Fourier-based long-term coefficient results, environmental patents, economic growth, and energy consumption adversely affect environmental quality. Therefore, we have three main interpretations of the findings. (i) Contrary to expectations, patents on environmental technologies adversely impact environmental sustainability. (ii) Japan has not yet achieved a decoupling between economic growth and CO |
