One of the Sustainable Development Goals is to enable cities thrive, improve resource efficiency, and reduce pollution. However, balancing economic development with pollution control fostering green growth remains a major challenge for developing countries. This study, using panel data from 284 prefecture-level above in China 2006 2020, evaluates urban economy efficiency (GEE). Then, adopting implementation "12th Five-Year Plan Key Regional Air Pollution Prevention Control" as quasi-natural experiment, this study investigates impact air prevention (APPC) on GEE. Findings reveal an overall upward trajectory GEE across China, marked by discernible regional differentiations following national Plan. Considering "hysteresis effect" spatially "pollution halo effect", APPC notably improves GEE, particularly within eastern zone, high-population density cities, large-sized non resource-based major-APPC cities. Importantly, acts catalyst both enhancing innovation quality optimizing industrial structures, ultimately China. These findings are significant also provide valuable supplement existing study.

Abstract Resource-based cities (RBCs) have historically been constrained by their inherent characteristics, impeding rapid shifts in energy consumption patterns and exerting substantial pressure on regional decarbonization efforts. Herein, 18 RBCs southwestern China were taken as the research object. Firstly, a resilience index system was constructed for resource ecosystem socio-economic of RBCs, optimization mutation level algorithm used to measure each city. Secondly, an interval prediction model established carbon emissions based GA-DBN-KDE algorithm. Finally, setting 16 scenarios, emission range “carbon peak” time Southwest from 2023 2040 predicted, scientific path low-carbon development explored under differentiated scenarios. The results indicated that: (1) urban levels both rise; (2) demonstrated excellent performance; (3) simulation scenarios revealed varying specific paths achieve peak, underscoring necessity city-specific policy formulation. Overall, this paper provides new analytical method transformation further forging basis decision-makers formulate reduction measures.

ABSTRACT This study is driven by the pressing need to assess how international Paris Agreement of 2015, as a policy shock, impacts climate actions in G‐20 countries, which account for most world's emissions. Achieving SDG‐13 (Climate Actions) requires understanding function G‐7 policy. In this context, using quasi‐natural experiment design with Multi‐year Difference‐in‐Differences (DID), fixed‐effect DID, and propensity score matching (PSM‐DID), examines policies affected (SDG‐13) countries from 2002 2021. The findings demonstrate that 2015 substantially benefits action, treatment effects ranging 0.278 0.367, at significance level 1%. show covariant environmental taxes help advance efforts, whereas coal rents use fossil fuels impede them. International cooperation (SDG‐17) further improves outcomes. Climate change adopted have significant long‐term influence on other member nations. But their efficacy has slightly changed over time. focuses providing necessary tools global transition towards climate‐resilient low‐carbon net‐zero future pathways.

This paper employs two-way fixed effects models, mediation models and spatial panel to examine the impact of digital economy development on carbon emission intensity in 72 countries from 2013 2020 using TIMG index as proxy variable economic development. The results this show that (1) there is an inverted U-shaped relationship between emissions various countries. first has a positive effect emissions, then, its turns negative after it reaches designated inflection point. (2) mechanism analysis can reduce by promoting industrial upgrading, while could have nonlinear through energy efficiency.
