The extension of urban development can encroach onto ecologically important land, such as forests and farmland, have a significant impact on regional ecosystem carbon storage. Although there has been extensive research the storage response to land use changes, limited exploration conducted changes in resulting from expansion construction land.. In current research, we analyzed characteristics involved growth related built-up space Changzhutan metropolitan area 1990 2020. Using InVEST model, evaluated effects ecological sequestration, using PLUS simulated building under four scenarios: natural development, farmland protection, comprehensive development. Additionally, our aim was quantify possible implications areas (1) expanded its by 721.58 km2 2020, with mainly concentrated fringe areas, type changed land. (2) sequestration Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan decreased 22.66 × 106 t most decrease occurring 2005 2010 when 284.43 km2. (3)By 2030, is projected expand 312.05 km2, 175.65 68.21 68.90 scenarios respectively. Land change each scenario expected cause losses 10.01 t, 11.01 2.07 1.95 106t, compared (4) Over investigation time span, ground had negative storage, reaching stable state effect pertaining upon accumulation ecosystems protection 2030 −0.46. Considering spatial heterogeneity analysis this would substantially upgrade functional surrounding region increase biological system stabilization, which conducive achieving neutrality goals.

Adverse consequences are observed in developing countries due to the impact of globalization process. Therefore, our study aims empirically verify whether escalates carbon dioxide emissions selected N-11 (next-11) between 1990 and 2019. The also analyzes how per capita GDP, GDP2, population growth, renewable energy consumption affect emissions. For this reason, researchers used several econometric methods, including slope homogeneity test, cross-sectional dependency panel unit root cointegration method moment's quantile regression analysis, Wald test. estimated results show change across a range quantiles (0.1 0.9). findings that GDP significantly impacts overabundance countries. Over time, found positive coefficient value decreased from first last (7.41 5.87), leading validation EKC hypothesis. adverse correlation GDP2 environmental contamination confirms Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis is valid for Globalization deteriorates environment by directly affecting CO2 It increases monotonically lower upper (0.972 1.002). At level 0.1 0.9, growth increase impede these Coefficient values 0.9 (-0.35 -0.53) suggest governments can reduce more over time. But negative (-0.97, -0.93, -0.90, -0.88, -0.86, -0.85, -0.83, -0.81, -0.77) decrease quantile. test supports asymmetric effects different quantiles. As robustness check estimators, FMOLS, DOLS, CCR, which variables' long-run elasticity. research developed targeted policy recommendations sustainably mitigating based on above results.

Abstract Inclusive finance has the potential to impact CO 2 emissions resulting from energy activities by influencing regional economic behavior. To explore this relationship, research makes use of panel data covering 30 Chinese provinces between 2004 and 2017. Through utilization empirical methods, including dynamic model, DIFF-GMM mediating effect moderating study examines direction mechanisms influence financial inclusion on various aspects in China. The findings demonstrate that development inclusive a significant emissions, characterized an rebound effect. This is primarily observed through notable increases total per capita coupled with reduction emission efficiency. Additionally, exhibits certain capacity mitigate addressing poverty. However, mitigating falls short fully offsetting overall finance. Moreover, reveals market regulation weakens positive relationship emissions. Furthermore, spatial spillover effect, wherein it serves inhibit neighboring regions.
