Financial development serves as a key indicator to achieve rapid economic growth and environmental sustainability globally. Therefore, this study explores how financial development, globalization, green energy influence carbon emissions, along with GDP, technological innovation, trade openness, in the Next-11 emerging economies from 1990 2022. The cointegration causality associations are analyzed by using Panel Common Correlated Effect Mean Group (CCEMG) Augmented (AMG) techniques our objective. empirical results AMG analysis indicate that contribute diminishing CO 2 emissions 1.25%, 2.23%, 2.90%, respectively. Conversely, liberalization, have negative impacts on environment, increasing 1.04%, 0.13%, 0.18%, Similarly, findings CCEMG outcomes expose inverse link between expansion degradation. Our highlight policymakers should prioritize sustainable practices for of markets, particularly businesses invest cleaner technologies renewable energy. This integrated strategy is necessary countries accomplish their SD goals effectively confront climate change.

Published: March 17, 2025

It is of great significance to study the impact China’s digital economy on green innovation under present conditions. In this work, panel data were used, and research tools such as entropy method, Markov chain with a spatial probability transition matrix, Durbin model applied analyze temporal evolution in 287 Chinese cities from 2011 2021, exploring influence innovation. The results show that exhibited an upward trend. There was basic pattern consisting “high levels east low west” regarding innovation, aggregation types primarily being “HH” “LH”. Moreover, are relatively stable, neighboring areas influencing local changes. has significant promotional effect well spillover effects; differing influences over time can be used categorize into four groups, most falling within first two categories. Based these findings, relevant countermeasures proposed, seeking further enhance role promoting This work provides basis policy suggestions contribute continuous improvements leveraging effects former latter.

Abstract To address the issue of green transformation in resource-exhausted cities, this study employs Policy Modeling Consistency (PMC) index model to carry out a comprehensive analysis effectiveness support policies execution at both central and local levels, covering 16 different administrative levels. Meanwhile, utilizing fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) method, investigates interaction mechanisms effects various internal external factors context policy coordination, from perspective condition configurations. The findings reveal that overall effect supporting for cities China is generally commendable. Moreover, there notable characteristic “the lower level, higher quality policies”. Notably, organizational, technological, environmental, conditions alone cannot solely facilitate transition cities. Instead, it harmonious configuration these antecedents drives successful transformation. Additionally, antecedent exhibits heterogeneity types. Specifically, eastern region primarily relies on technological innovation production process improvement, while focuses improvement combinations. By contrast, western emphasizes combinations fostering environmental conditions. Furthermore, with coal oil types mainly depends combination innovation. Metal, forestry, other rely upgrading advancement industrial structures.
