North China is one of the significant geographic subregions in China, and it is quite important to analyze its digital economy and ecological carbon environment. Firstly, the digital economy level and ecological carbon environment in North China between 2010 and 2019 were measured. Then, the coupling coordination degree model (CCDM) was utilized to examine the impact of the digital economy on the ecological carbon environment. The digital economy level in North China consistently increased between 2010 and 2019. The average value rose from 0.163 in 2010 to 0.645 in 2019. Moreover, carbon emission intensity showed a year-on-year decrease, with an average reduction of 23.47% during the same period. The degree of coupling coordination displayed an upward trend, and Beijing showed the highest coordination among all provinces and cities. These results highlight the impact of the digital economy level on the ecological carbon environment. Some suggestions were proposed for the future progress of the digital economy and carbon emission in North China.
