Summary: Although operational activities in the aviation sector inevitably bring more emissions, they also reshape the structure of the regional economy, often leading to a shift from emission-heavy industries to cleaner service sectors. The overall impact of aviation network development on the region's environmental trajectory is unclear and requires rigorous empirical study. Using data from 283 Chinese prefecture-level cities, this paper calculates a comprehensive carbon lock-in index to measure cities' reliance on emission-heavy sectors and resistance to emission reduction. The empirical results suggest that an improved aviation network development helps alleviate carbon lock-in through mechanisms such as fixed input, industrial structure upgrading, and technological innovation.

Summary: Innovative cities rely on knowledge, science, and technology to promote development and mitigate carbon lock-in. The innovative city policy not only reduces carbon lock-in locally, but also inhibits it in neighboring cities. The policy has a long-term effect and is more effective in cities that are non-resource based, have smaller populations, and higher physical, human, and social capital. The influence mechanisms include technology and industry structure effects, and the policy effect weakens with increased distance bands.

Summary: The digital industry has had a significant impact on the Chinese economy, but it has also raised concerns about environmental effects. This study analyzes the production structure factors of the digital industry and their effects on China's carbon emissions. The results show that while the direct structural effects of the industry reduce carbon emissions, the indirect effects contribute to an increase. High-energy-consuming sectors are most affected by these structural changes. The study suggests implementing policies to address these issues.

Summary: Low-carbon city pilot policy in China has effectively promoted carbon emission reduction, but with varying effects in different regions. The superposition effect of different policies also differs. Energy structure, industrial structure, and innovation level have significant impacts on the effectiveness of low-carbon city pilot policies.

Summary: This paper explores the impact of environmental regulations on firms' energy-saving behavior using China's low-carbon pilot city policy as a quasi-natural experiment. The results show that the policy significantly reduces firms' coal consumption and coal intensity, particularly for energy-intensive industries and state-owned enterprises (SOEs).

Summary: In recent years, the Chinese government has effectively implemented smart city pilot policies to control environmental pollution. It is important to understand the impact of smart city construction on PM2.5 in China. Using panel data from 285 cities in China from 2004 to 2018, a difference-in-differences model was used to analyze the effects of smart city pilots on PM2.5. The study found that smart city construction has reduced PM2.5 concentrations by 5.34% over time. Furthermore, smart city pilots have a spatial spillover effect, positively affecting PM2.5 in cities within 50km while significantly reducing PM2.5 in surrounding cities within 50km-250km. The reduction in PM2.5 is primarily due to the technological and allocation effects generated by promoting innovation and industrial upgrading. The control effect of PM2.5 in smart cities shows an inverted U-shaped relationship with city size and is better in cities with low financial support, high human capital, and information infrastructure.

Summary: This article evaluates the composite index of carbon lock-in (CLI) and investigates the impact of green financial inclusion (GFI) on CLI. It also identifies asymmetric, threshold, and mediating effects in the GFI-CLI relationship. The findings indicate that GFI plays a significant role in reducing CLI, particularly in eastern China, first-tier cities, non-resource-based cities, and capital cities. GFI exhibits an asymmetric correlation with CLI and internet penetration strengthens this negative relationship. Moreover, GFI indirectly accelerates the elimination of CLI through channels such as innovation, government support, and the development of the digital economy.

Summary: Based on the results of this study, the low-carbon city (LCC) pilot policies have played an important role in reducing carbon emissions, mainly through output adjustment and technological innovation. The study also found that cities with higher levels of economic growth and better human capital have greater carbon emission reduction effects, and non-resource-based cities perform better in reducing carbon emissions.

Summary: This study established an evaluation index system for the quality of low-carbon development in cities, finding that cities with better and medium better quality are mainly located in central and eastern China, with fewer in the western regions. Low-carbon economy, low-carbon society, and low-carbon environment were identified as the main obstacles restricting cities' low-carbon development quality.

Summary: The research shows that the low-carbon city policy can improve the overall carbon emission efficiency in pilot cities. Findings suggest that while existing studies argue that the policy can reduce the carbon emission of pilot cities immediately, in reality, it takes longer to improve carbon emission efficiency. Factors influencing this efficiency include the proportion of secondary industry, energy intensity, capital-labor ratio, and research investment. The policy may deepen the urban divide between eastern and western regions and the mechanisms through which it takes effect have been discussed.

Summary: This study contributes to policy studies by identifying how different types of policy instruments can be combined in the realization of low carbon cities. The research maps the application of policy instruments in China's 35 low carbon pilot cities and explores their effects on low carbon city construction. The study suggests that a combination of hierarchical, market-based, network-based, and information-based instruments is essential for effective low carbon city development.

Summary: The pilot program of low-carbon cities in China has a positive impact on adjusting the industrial structure, particularly by promoting industrial structure supererogation through technological innovation and reducing the proportion of high-carbon industries. However, the impact of the pilot program varies in different regions and cities with different levels of law enforcement intensity.

Summary: This study contributes to the low-carbon city (LCC) related literature by providing causal evidence on the impact of carbon reduction regulation on firm risk. Utilizing staggered adoption of LCC program shocks in China as a quasi-natural experiment, the study finds significant correlations between low-carbon city initiatives and firm total risk, systematic risk, and idiosyncratic risk, particularly for firms with greater changes in investment in fixed assets and R&D and for firms in provinces with stronger legal enforcement.

Summary: Cities with different backgrounds should use different indicators to guide their low carbon city practices. The Management by Objectives method can assist cities in setting personalized indicators to guide their practices towards their low carbon city objectives. It is important to emphasize that indicators applicable to different cities should not be selected discriminately.

Summary: This research examines the global expansion of plastics production and its deepening reliance on fossil resources, highlighting how the carbon lock-in in the plastics industry affects contemporary life. Data reveals that in the past seven years, the twelve largest global companies announced 88 new projects, demonstrating the industry's efforts to strengthen dependence on plastics through infrastructure expansion and restrictions on consumer behavior. The study emphasizes the need for increased research on the plastics and petrochemical sectors, particularly focusing on data from Asian companies and activities in China, while also pointing out the insufficient focus on plastic waste collection and recycling.

Summary: Carbon emissions are a major factor affecting sustainable urban development, and cities are implementing low carbon city strategies to reduce emissions. However, existing assessment methods often overlook the effects of individual dimensions like industrial structure and energy efficiency. This study proposes a new method, LCC-CMM, to assess both overall and dimensional LCC performance, helping policymakers identify weak areas and improve them with tailored measures.
