<p>The global service industry, commonly perceived as low-carbon, is in fact a significant driver of emissions growth. Yet, traditional emission-accounting-based assessments have overlooked the transmission pathways industry across regions, thereby making it difficult to uncover its dynamic and complex spatial industrial interconnections. This study addresses this gap by using multi-regional input-output (MRIO) analysis structural path decomposition (SPD) examine consumption-based (CBE) sector multiple countries from 1995 2021, offering new insights for targeted mitigation strategies. Results reveal steady 63% increase CBE services, primarily driven expansion public, health, financial services. While developed are net importers embodied developing nations largely serve exporters, with transportation—especially air water transport—contributing significantly carbon intensity. China, United States, Japan emerge top service-sector emitters, highlighting critical role both direct intermediate inputs driving emissions. The underscores need efficiency improvements green technological investments, particularly transport high-impact sectors, mitigate while supporting These findings offer policymakers on prioritizing sector-specific cross-border strategies achieve sustainable development industry.</p>

Accurate measurement of agricultural total factor productivity (AGTFP) is crucial to measure the level sustainable development, and carbon sink an important element leverage development green transformation. Few studies have incorporated into framework AGTFP, evolutionary dynamics related spatial effects Chinese AGTFP from perspective sinks are unclear. On this basis, paper used a provincial-level panel data set China 2000 2019 provincial indicators sinks, CO2 emissions non-point source pollution. Then, we these environmental factors SBM-DEA model calculate sinks. We further analyzed temporal divergence convergence in using Moran’I econometric models. found that after measuring including 28 out 30 provinces showed increased trend, but gap between regions was obvious. The significantly positive correlation each province did not absolute α-convergence β-convergence characteristics. After adding control variables resource endowment province, it conditional characteristics, spillover effect China’s increasing. Finally, proposed policy recommendations for coordinated response research findings.

Abstract Rapid industrialization and ambitious socio-economic targets have presented significant challenges to China’s carbon neutrality process. However, digital transformation offers new opportunities for sustainable development. This research examines the influence of governance (Digov) on emission performance (Cep) explores its underlying mechanisms. The study utilizes data from cities in Yangtze River Delta 2011 2019. results show that has significantly improved performance, a conclusion remains robust even after conducting series rigorous tests addressing endogeneity concerns. main impact mechanisms include energy intensity reduction, consumption scale industrial structure adjustment, optimization.Furthermore, indicate variation reduction due can be attributed differences city administrative level, size, government capacity. In particular, plays pivotal role facilitating resource-based cities.From perspective governance, this provides effective recommendations valuable insights achieving low-carbon promoting development cities.

Urban cluster carbon sinks are key parts of the terrestrial cycle, and play an important role in global climate change. Based on inversion results net ecosystem productivity (NEP) Middle Reaches Yangtze River Agglomeration (MRYRUA), this study considered influence both natural environmental socioeconomic factors NEP, investigated driving mechanism sink emphasizing spatial temporal heterogeneity by geographically temporally weighted regression model (GTWR). Results demonstrated that (1) During 2008–2020, annual average NEP was positive MRYRUA, effect increased. (2) In Precipitation DEM were positively correlated with sinks, opposite for temperature, percentage water areas population density. (3) period, factors, such as temperature precipitation grew gradually weaker, whereas The urbanization rate, night lights index industrial structure changed from negative to positive, while built-up area had increasing NEP. conclusions above, proposed differentiated policy implications, including improving vegetation hydrothermal environment, controlling urban expansion accelerating transformation. It would provide empirical inspiration attaining peak carbon, neutrality, sustainable development goals.
