The digital economy and the low-carbon economy are crucial catalysts of global economic change and sustainable development. This research focuses on China and thoroughly examines the coupling and coordination mechanisms between the digital and low-carbon economies. This study employs the coupling coordination degree model to assess the development level of the coupling and coordination between the two economies. It also investigates the influence of climate-related physical threats on their coupled and coordinated development and presents the following findings. First, the integration and synchronized advancement of China's digital and low-carbon economies exhibit a general upward trend, though the average development level remains relatively low, characterized by considerable regional variations. Moreover, the dynamic distribution of coupling and coordination development levels among locations reveals notable disparities. Second, the coupling coordination degree between China's digital and low-carbon economies exhibits distinct spatial correlation, following a “high-high, low-low” distribution pattern, with transfer channels exhibiting spatial dependence. Third, Tobit model analysis reveals that climate-related physical dangers substantially impede the integration and synchronized advancement of digital and low-carbon economies. The underlying mechanism is the inhibition of green low-carbon technological innovation, with extremely low temperatures exerting the most significant suppressive influence. This suppression varies based on geographic location, data development, and resource endowment.
