The three-dimensional carbon footprint of resource-based cities in the Yellow River Basin was measured, and their configuration paths of carbon reduction and footprint minimization were clarified through the three-dimensional carbon footprint model, the TOE framework, and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis. It was found that during the study period, the average carbon footprint of resource-based cities in the Yellow River Basin exhibited a fluctuating downward trend, characterized by "continuous decline-slight rebound-fluctuating decline". The number of high-carbon footprint cities significantly decreased, and there were significant differences in the carbon footprint of resource-based cities in the upper, middle, and lower reaches, which were arranged in the order of "upper reaches < lower reaches < middle reaches". The carbon reduction and footprint minimization paths of resource-based cities in the Yellow River Basin could be summarized into three types: the "technology-structure dominant" path covering 44% of the cities, the "organization dominant" path covering 50% of the cities, and the "environment dominant" path covering 37% of the cities. Based on the above conclusions, it was suggested that a global perspective should be maintained to continuously monitor the carbon footprint values of resource-based cities in the Yellow River Basin, and a combination of measures should be taken to reduce the carbon footprint of these cities based on the configuration effects.
