With the severity of global climate change becoming increasingly evident, shift to renewable energy has become key achieving sustainable development. Using data from prefecture level in China, we construct a comprehensive FinTech index institutional and individual levels using entropy method, aiming capture multi-dimensional value comprehensively. This paper quantifies momentum that provides urban transition. Our investigation shows can play crucial role enhancing transition, especially cities with strict environmental policies, relatively developed economies, eastern midland cities. study further reveals impact path FinTech-driven transformation, find is curb capital misallocation, strengthen public attention, improve green innovation. These results expand research perspective transition provide choice for China realize under dual-carbon goal.

As the executor and agent of China’s environmental policy, local governments’ concern reflects determination in governance. To figure out how strengthening concerns affect enterprises’ long-term activities, this study focuses on pharmaceutical manufacturing enterprises due to enormous complex composition emissions. We apply bag words summarize relevant from annual work reports governments measure concern. The empirical results OLS method reveal that increasing did decrease growth rate chemical oxygen demand (COD) emission authentically. At same time, it will inhibit research experimental development (R&D) activity intensity, but promote production efficiency enterprises. After that, we discuss heterogeneity enterprise ownership, corporate social responsibility regional regulatory strength Overall, conclude reduce COD efficiency, also has negative spillover effects. novel contribution paper is enriches trade-off between compliance costs innovation activities. These indicate prioritize optimizing existing processes instead adopting efficient technology when complying with stricter regulation. reduction R&D activities may pose risks sustainable
