Climate change has increasingly become a significant challenge to sustainable socio-economic development, and climate adaptation is key issue that relevant research focuses on regional development models. By employing panel data between 2007 2020 from 284 Chinese prefecture-level cities, this study adopts quasi-experimental methods, including difference-in-differences design double dual machine learning model, the impact of adaptability green development. Empirical results confirm pilot policy building climate-resilient cities significantly improves urban total-factor productivity. Difference-in-difference models (derived entropy-weight propensity score matching) also support improving effect productivity after intervention. The digital economy strengthened policies for climate-adaptive cities. In addition, interventions build promote by optimizing industrial structures enhancing economic growth resilience. can attract highly skilled talent high-quality enterprises, facilitate science technological progress in areas, thus promoting China.

Improving the energy efficiency of enterprises is one key means to solve problem shortage. It great significance investigate how environmental information disclosure (EDI) promotes green total factor (GTFEE) enterprises. Based on this, this study calculates GTFEE by combining database Chinese manufacturing and pollutant emission industrial investigates impact EDI industries using a difference-in-difference model. The following found: (1) can significantly promote enterprises’ GTFEE, results are still valid after series robustness tests; (2) Mechanism analysis shows that improve promoting technological innovation optimizing structure; (3) heterogeneity EID more positive firms’ in eastern than western regions. greater for non-state-owned, low-energy consumption, export, polluting findings paper provide theoretical basis practical enlightenment government development transformation

As an important driving force for economic growth, digital trade provides opportunities urban green development. Using city-level data in China from 2005 to 2020, we take the cross-border e-commerce comprehensive pilot zone (CBEC) as a policy shock construct spatial difference-in-difference (SDID) model, which is adapted quantitatively examine carbon reduction effects and impact mechanisms of CBEC policy. The results confirm that implementation significantly reduces emissions (CE) cities about 4.5%, mainly due resource allocation efficiency promotion, industrial structure upgrading, technology boosting. Meanwhile, there significant spillover effect, resulting 3.9% CE decrease neighboring cities.

Green infrastructure (GI) plays a pivotal role in contemporary urban infrastructure. investment (GII) provides fresh perspective for controlling carbon emissions the context of global climate change. Based on theoretical analysis, we employed panel data from Chinese cities to examine effects and operating mechanisms GII emissions. The research reveals that incremental can notably decrease emissions, various robustness tests endogeneity checks corroborate this finding. However, when considering cumulative effect, stocks do not appear influence emissions; mitigates by drawing pollution control talents, improving efficiency household waste treatment, increasing green spaces, heightening public attention environment. Relative central-western region, northern cities, smaller resource-based smart pilot with lesser environmental emphasis, is more effective curbing eastern southern larger non-resource-intensive initiative, stronger focus. This enhances understanding GI’s outcomes determinants an viewpoint. It also dissects four operative through which lowers offering novel interpretation variance emission levels across diverse traits.
