Effects of environmental regulation on CO2 emissions: An empirical analysis of 282 cities in China

Huiping Wang et al.

Summary: The study found that environmental regulation can effectively restrain CO2 emissions in Chinese cities by promoting industrial structure upgrades and technological innovation. However, under the constraints of environmental regulation, foreign direct investment demonstrates a pollution-haven effect. Additionally, urban heterogeneity has a significant impact on the emission reduction effect of environmental regulation.

Effects of of China's pilot low-carbon city policy on carbon emission reduction: A quasi-natural experiment based on satellite data

Weidong Huo et al.

Summary: Economic development has led to global greenhouse gas emissions and climate change, posing a common challenge for all nations. Cities, as drivers of national economic development, have a crucial role in low-carbon development and climate change mitigation. China has actively explored and implemented pilot policies for low-carbon cities to reduce emissions and mitigate climate change. Findings from this study show that pilot cities achieved an annual carbon emission reduction of approximately 2.72%, resulting in a gross domestic product loss of around 1.19 trillion yuan from 2013 to 2017. These reductions were achieved through adjustments in industrial structure, promotion of technological innovation, and investment in low-carbon technologies.

High-speed rail and CO2 emissions in urban China: A spatial difference-in-differences approach

Ruining Jia et al.

Summary: The study found that the increase in high-speed rail service intensity significantly reduces urban CO2 emissions and inhibits CO2 emissions in neighboring cities with a spatial attenuation boundary of 1000 km. However, higher levels of HSR service intensity in large cities and resource-based cities are not conducive to reducing CO2 emissions in neighboring cities.

The effects of China's sustainable development policy for resource-based cities on local industrial transformation

Qiangyi Li et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of China's Sustainable Development Plan of National Resource-based Cities on industrial transformation. The implementation of the plan reduces the proportion of secondary industries in GDP in resource-based cities, particularly in the central and western regions. It also promotes the development of the tertiary industry and facilitates industrial structure upgrading.

Evaluation of energy resilience and adaptation policies: An energy efficiency analysis

Luigi Aldieri et al.

Summary: This paper examines the impact of environmental innovation on energy efficiency, finding that knowledge spillovers from environmental innovation can reduce inefficiency in economies, enhancing their resilience to transitioning to sustainable technologies. OECD countries improve their energy efficiency scores over time, while non-OECD countries do not show the same trend. This indicates that sustainable technology transition is facilitated by environmental innovation but boosted by having a resilient economic system.

The impact of energy consumption structure on China's carbon emissions: Taking the Shannon-Wiener index as a new indicator

Wei Sun et al.

Summary: After a period of decline, carbon emissions began to rise in 2017. The study used the Shannon-Wiener diversity index (SWI) to reflect the impact of energy consumption structure on carbon emissions in China, finding that the relationship between environmental quality and GDP per capita follows a U-shaped curve, and urban development and trade structure promotion increase carbon emissions while the optimization of energy consumption structure slows it down.
