Addressing natural resource dependence is integral to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by promoting economic diversification, environmental sustainability, and climate resilience. This study explores effect of on green development adopting balanced panel dataset from "Belt Road" countries 2005 2019. Notably, novelty our analysis lies in empirical using instrument-based techniques that consolidate "green curse hypothesis" Belt Road countries. The mechanism reveals curbs weakening innovative capability, disturbing institutional quality, reducing population density, crowding out human capital. Further, dynamic threshold model handling endogeneity verifies nonlinear relationship between development. Interestingly, digital trade offers greater "resilience" than traditional trade, correcting dilemma. Finally, heterogeneity analyses indicate hypothesis only exists with high-level regulations resource-based

Can targeted industrial policy drive low-carbon transformation? evidence from China’s Five-Year Plans

Frontiers in Environmental Science, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 13

Published: April 25, 2025

Facing escalating climate challenges, the Chinese government has highlighted importance of targeted industrial policy for driving low-carbon transformation within its Five-Year Plans, whose effectiveness warrants evaluation. This paper employs a fixed-effects model across provinces, industries, and years, adopting data from 36 sectors 30 provinces 1997 to 2019, assess impact on transformation. We reveal that industries receiving support exhibit 9.2% higher index than those without. The effects are more pronounced in context local policy, recent with moderate low technological complexity, high-emission sectors. Mechanism analysis shows facilitates by structural effects. These insights offer foundation refining design execution achieve carbon neutrality goals foster sustainable growth.

Does the Concept of Green Development Promote High-Quality Urban Development?—An Empirical Analysis Based on the Pilot Policy of the “Zero-Waste City” in China

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 16(18), P. 8240 - 8240

Published: Sept. 22, 2024

Since 2019, eighteen major ministries and commissions, including the National Development Reform Commission, have launched trials for a “zero-waste city”. Shenzhen, Baotou, Tongling, 16 other cities regions entered practical operation stage, significance of economic effect policy pilot needs to be tested through empirical evaluation. This study systematically gathers time series data from 281 prefecture-level in China 2005 2022 constructs an innovative experimental framework construction zero-waste city. It implements rigorous robustness testing procedures using difference-in-differences (DID) method scientifically objectively measure actual effects waste-free city strategies promoting city’s social development along high-quality path. provides deep insights into strategy as strong driving force. Our results indicate that stage has positive impact on whole cannot ignored. At same time, in-depth analysis shows this exhibits regional differences process urban development. For two core eastern central China, implementation policies significantly accelerated pace development, further reveals that, compared with developed region, region achieved superior terms Third, benefits are related bases cities, number green patents granted, national policies, geographical location, factors.
