The strengthening of the deep integration innovation and green is a necessary measure for sustainable urban development. Based on improved Global-EBM, this study regards innovative city policy as quasi-natural experiment evaluates its spatial spillover effects potential impact channels. results show that (1) enhances total factor carbon emission efficiency (TFCEE) has positive surrounding regions. (2) mechanism test shows effective channels policies to enhance TFCEE generate come from improving degree technology resource allocation. (3) effect more significant developed, coastal advanced industrial structures. This strengthens theoretical foundation promoting cross-regional coordinated development provides valuable suggestions policymakers.

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.

Climate change has a significant impact on human economic and social life, climate issues have rapidly emerged as global hot topic. Using data from prefecture-level cities in China 2005 to 2020 sample, this study explores the relationship between policy uncertainty (CPU) urban green total factor energy efficiency (GTFEE). The results show that, first, CPU can significantly improve GTFEE, are reconfirmed after various robustness tests. Second, promotes GTFEE by improving public environmental concerns optimizing consumption structure. Third, promotion role of is particularly resource-based economically developed cities. provide theoretical basis practical enlightenment for government formulate forward-looking policies promote transformation development

Based on panel data from 210 prefecture-level cities in China 2003 to 2021, this study employs the Time-Varying Differences-in-Differences (Time-Varying DID) approach systematically examine impact of smart city construction pollution emissions and its underlying mechanisms. Additionally, Propensity Score Matching-Differences-in-Differences method is employed for further validation. The research findings indicate that Smart City Construction (SCC) significantly reduces urban Volume Sewage Discharge (VSD), sulfur dioxide (SO2), Emissions Fumes Dust (EFD), thereby mitigating (PE) enhancing environmental quality. Mechanism analysis reveals SCC achieves these effects through scale effects, structural technological effects. heterogeneity shows provincial capital exhibit a stronger suppression effect compared non-provincial cities. Moreover, with lower levels education attainment demonstrate ability curb emissions, while larger more pronounced emissions. marginal contributions mainly consist three aspects: Firstly, it enriches literature factors by assessing, first time, influence PE. Secondly, comprehensive employed, integrating VSD, EFD, SO2 data, economic at level. DID used evaluate policy SCC. Finally, analyzes mechanisms various perspectives.

The transition to renewable energy is a critical pathway for achieving low-carbon development and addressing global climate change problems. Therefore, we expand the conventional province-level balance table urban level, providing refined assessment tool evaluating (RET). This study investigates impact of policy uncertainty (CPU) on RET explores underlying mechanisms. findings reveal that CPU significantly inhibits RET, with this effect being particularly pronounced in non-capital inland cities. mechanisms through which hinders include exacerbating capital labor misallocation suppressing industrial structure upgrading. Furthermore, moderation model indicates high-intensity government supervision low public environmental awareness exacerbate negative RET. Our provide governments adopting forward-looking policies mitigate adverse effects transition.
