Summary: Green technology innovations play an important role in balancing economic growth and environmental governance. However, there is limited empirical research on the relationship between green technology innovations and CO2 emissions, particularly in developing countries like China. This study examines panel data from 264 prefecture-level cities in China from 2006 to 2017, and finds that the impact of green technology innovations on CO2 emissions varies across different types of cities. It also shows that green technology innovations can contribute to CO2 emission reduction after 2010, indirectly through industrial structure upgrading. The study further suggests that the marginal effect of green technologies on CO2 emissions is influenced by the urban innovation environment and the human capital level of a city.

Summary: There is a huge gap between the need for ICT infrastructure and its availability in developing countries. ICT and education have different effects on environmental quality, while globalization, income, and financial development play a role in controlling these effects. Policymakers are suggested to take measures to develop ICT infrastructure, improve education, and reduce unsustainable practices.

Summary: This study examines the impact of economic globalization, financial development, energy use, economic development, and technological innovation on consumption and emissions in Pakistan. The empirical evidence reveals that financial and economic development stimulate consumption and emissions in both the short and long run. Energy use intensifies consumption and emissions only in the long run. Economic globalization adversely affects consumption and emissions in the short run but increases consumption-based emissions in the long run. Technological innovations decrease emissions in the long term. The study suggests policymakers discourage non-renewables and increase renewable energy use to decrease consumption and emissions.

Summary: Through analyzing samples of China's Ashare resource-based enterprises, this study found that green technology progress significantly promotes total factor productivity and environmental regulation forces the green technology progress of enterprises through external pressure. Additionally, the results also indicate that the forcing effect of environmental regulation on green technology progress is more significant when enterprises have strong financial and human resource bases.

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: After nearly seventy years of poverty alleviation, China has basically solved the problem of providing food and clothing to the rural poor. However, the islanding effect of the distribution of the poor and the marginal diminishing effect of the antipoverty resources restrict the effects of poverty-eliminating strategies. In response, the Chinese central government has introduced targeted poverty alleviation, aiming to achieve genuine outcomes by accurately identifying and assisting poverty-stricken households.
