Multi-source Data-driven Identification of Urban Functional Areas: A Case of Shenyang, China

Bing Xue et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a UFA identification method based on multi-source big data and empirically demonstrates it in Shenyang City, China. The study reveals that employment functional zones in Shenyang City are more concentrated in central cities and suggests that city decision makers should use multi-source big data to measure urban functional service in a more refined manner.

Carbon footprint and embodied carbon transfer at the provincial level of the Yellow River Basin

Xueliang Yuan et al.

Summary: The ecological conservation and high-quality development of China's Yellow River Basin is a national strategy proposed in 2019. This study utilizes input-output models to analyze the carbon footprint and embodied carbon transfer in nine provinces within the basin, highlighting the importance of clarifying carbon emissions and reduction strategies. The research shows a 23.4% decrease in per capita carbon footprint in the Yellow River Basin from 2012 to 2017, with certain sectors like petroleum processing, construction, and metal processing having higher emissions. Additionally, the study identifies significant carbon emission transfers between provinces in the middle and lower reaches of the basin.

Regional trade agreement burdens global carbon emissions mitigation

Kailan Tian et al.

Summary: Regional trade agreements (RTAs) are widely used to promote international trade, but their environmental effects have not been well studied. This study evaluates the economic effects of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) and estimates that it will lead to increased CO2 emissions. However, deeper trade liberalization can help mitigate the burdens.

Regional disparities in steel production and restrictions to progress on global decarbonization: A cross-national analysis

Peng Wang et al.

Summary: This study explores the regional emission performance of steel production across 44 countries and 5 regions from 2000 to 2015, comparing physical indicators such as CO2 emission, energy use, and carbon intensity. The results show a significant increase in global CO2 emission associated with steel production, indicating a worsening environmental performance. Both developed and developing nations experienced an increase in carbon intensity, highlighting the need to address regional disparities and inequalities in global decarbonization strategies for the steel industry.

Unfolding the evolution of carbon inequality embodied in inter-provincial trade of China: Network perspective analysis

Mengcheng Zhu et al.

Summary: The mismatch between carbon transfer and economic benefits in inter-provincial trade in China has led to carbon inequality among provinces. This study uses network analysis and multi-regional input-output analysis to examine the unbalanced relationship between carbon transfer and value-added flow in inter-provincial trade from 2012 to 2017. The findings reveal a significant increase in carbon inequality during this period, with environmental regulation and economic development levels as the main factors. The study highlights the need for collective governance of carbon reduction and provides guidance for the development of equitable and sustainable policies.

Challenges and opportunities for carbon neutrality in China

Zhu Liu et al.

Summary: China has made significant reductions in CO2 emissions, achieving objectives outlined in Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions and Nationally Determined Contributions. However, China still faces challenges in reaching peak CO2 emissions before 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality before 2060. Achieving these goals will require increasing non-fossil energy share, deploying negative-emission technologies, promoting low-carbon development regionally, and establishing a nationwide 'green market'.

Guangdong's embodied carbon emission in China's inter-provincial trade based on MRIO model

Chen Yu et al.

Summary: This research constructs an embodied carbon model in inter-provincial trade based on China's inter-provincial multi-regional input-output table. By analyzing the embodied carbon emissions for Guangdong, it reveals the impact of trade scale and structure on emissions, and identifies key provinces and sectors for emission reduction.

Analysis of Labor Embodied in China's Inter-regional Trade in Value-Added: Re-Examination of Leontief's Paradox from the Perspective of Energy Use

Yan Bingqian et al.

Summary: Based on the analysis of labor and energy transfer in interregional trade in China, this study found that the east coastal region and central region are the main participants in interregional trade, with different characteristics in terms of labor and energy. The northwestern region is the largest exporter of embodied energy. Furthermore, the industrial structure also affects energy efficiency, and improving infrastructure and upgrading industrial structure are important for transforming growth modes in certain regions.

Exploring the path of inter-provincial industrial transfer and carbon transfer in China via combination of multi-regional input?output and geographically weighted regression model

Yanan Wang et al.

Summary: The study indicates that the eastern coastal region of China is the largest industrial outflow and carbon inflow area, with inconsistent paths for industrial transfer and carbon transfer. Environmental regulation is negatively correlated with net carbon outflow. Energy intensity is the main factor influencing carbon transfer.
