description <b>Background:</b> Integrated water and fertilizer management is important for promoting the sustainable development of agriculture. Climate-smart drip irrigation with fertilizer coupling strategies plays an important role to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, ensuring food production, and alleviating water scarcity and excessive use of fertilizers. <b>Methods:</b> The greenhouse experiment consists of three drip irrigation treatments which include D1: drip irrigation (100 mm); D2: drip irrigation (200 mm); D3: drip irrigation (300 mm) under three different fertilizer management practices N1: nitrogen level (150 kg N ha<sup>−1</sup>); N2: nitrogen level (300 kg N ha<sup>−1</sup>); N3: nitrogen level (450 kg N ha<sup>−1</sup>). <b>Results:</b> The results showed that significantly improved soil moisture contents, quality and tomato yield, while reduced (38.6%) greenhouse gas intensity (GHGI) under the D3N3 treatment. The D2 and D3 drip irrigation treatments with 450 kg nitrogen ha<sup>−1</sup> considerably improved NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup>-N contents, and NO<sub>3</sub><sup>−</sup>-N contents at the fruit formation stage. The improve in net primary productivity (NPP), net ecosystem productivity (NEP), evapotranspiration (ET), and ecosystem crop water productivity (CWP<sub>eco</sub>) through D3N3 treatment is higher. The D3N3 treatment improved (28.2%) the net global warming potential (GWP), but reduced GHGI, due to improved (18.4%) tomato yield. The D3N3 treatment had significantly greater irrigation water productivity (IWP) (42.8%), total soluble sugar (TSS) (32.9%), vitamin C content (VC) (39.2%), soluble sugar content (SSC) (44.2%), lycopene content (41.3%) and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) (52.4%), as compared to D1N1 treatment. <b>Conclusions:</b> Therefore, in greenhouse experiments, the D3N3 may be an effective water-saving and fertilizer management approach, which can improve WUE, tomato yield, and quality while reducing the effect of global warming.
