Summary: This study examines the importance of green technology innovation and green financing in achieving sustainable environmental development. The findings demonstrate that green technology innovation and green financing have a significant negative impact on CO2 emissions. Additionally, social globalization moderates the relationship between CO2 emissions and GDP positively, while negatively influencing the relationship between green financing, green technology innovation, and CO2 emissions.

Summary: Improving environmental quality and fiscal management is important for sustainable development. However, little is known about the impact of fiscal decentralisation on environmental quality. This study analyzed data from 32 OECD countries and found that fiscal decentralisation significantly reduces carbon emissions at medium to higher emission levels, while green innovation reduces emissions from lower to medium levels. Institutional reforms promote environmental sustainability across all emission levels.

Summary: The study shows that green innovation significantly reduces CO2 emissions in China, especially when institutional quality is high. In the western region, the reduction of CO2 emissions through green innovation increases as institutional quality improves. Green innovation had a greater impact on CO2 emissions reduction in 2013-2017 compared to 2005-2012.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of democracy, autocracy, and globalization on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in developing countries. The findings show that democracy and renewable energy can alleviate environmental pressure, while financial development and globalization increase environmental damage. The interaction between democracy and globalization reduces pollution levels, and the dampening effect of autocracy and globalization has a similar impact on environmental damage. Additionally, an inverted U-shaped environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis is verified across developing countries.

Summary: This study investigates China's C&D waste minimization system and finds that it is not a dissipative structure, thus unable to form a macroscopic stable and ordered structure through self-organization. Suggestions are proposed to promote the development of the system towards a dissipative structure for more orderly and coordinated system development.
