A Mechanism for Digital Finance to Drive Green and Low-Carbon Development

Given the global focus on green and low-carbon development and the increasing prominence of digital finance,it is particularly important to explore how to leverage digital finance to achieve these environmental goals.This study,through mechanism analysis,deeply examines how China’s digital finance promotes green and low-carbon development and elucidates the positive interaction between digital finance and the green industry.The study found that digital finance,through more flexible and efficient financial functions,alters the cost structure of carbon emissions,and reduces the risks and costs of green investments,thereby creating a cooperative green mechanism benefiting all parties,and guiding social groups toward a green and low-carbon transformation.Additionally,the rapid development of digital finance has strengthened the implementation of environmental protection policies,effectively promoted the expansion of the environmental protection industry,and established the green ethos as a mainstream concept in financial development.This study aims to provide reference perspectives and suggestions,assist policymakers in promoting the green and lowcarbon development of digital finance,and offer insights into the integrated development of digital finance and the green environmental protection industry.

Can the low-carbon city pilot policy promote the upgrading of high-carbon emitting enterprises? Evidence from China

As a crucial environmental reform system to realize“carbon peaking”and“carbon neutrality”,the pilot policy of low-carbon cities(LCCs)puts pressure and challenges on high-carbon emitting enterprises(HCEEs)while providing opportunities for these firms to take the path of independent transformation.Employing the data of Chinese listed enterprises from 2006 to 2016 and adopting a difference-in-differences(DID)model,we evaluated the impact of LCC construction on the upgrading of HCEEs and its mechanisms.The results indicate that LCC construction enhances the upgrading of HCEEs in the pilot cities.The conclusions remain stable after a series of robustness tests.The mechanism analysis reveals that LCC construction triggers the upgrading of HCEEs by promoting resource allocation efficiency,R&D investment,and green technology innovation.The heterogeneity results indicate that this positive effect is more pronounced for HCEEs in regions with more stringent environmental law enforcement.This study also observes that the upgrading impact is more promi‐nent for state-owned enterprises,enterprises with higher bargaining power,and enterprises whose managers have a long-term vision.The above results provide directions for upgrading HCEEs and replicable evidence for cities in developing economies to fulfill the win-win target of environmental protection and economic transfor‐mation.

Exploring the “Green” Transformation Planning of Industrial Parks in the Era of Low Carbon Economy

The core function of the low carbon economy is to change the economic development trend of the whole society. It is necessary to carry out industrial transformation and upgrading according to the concept of sustainable development and to realize integrated technological innovation and efficient economic development without violating the law of ecological and environmental development. In the era of the low-carbon economy, industrial parks should solidly promote the green transformation planning process. Relying on the basic logical framework of green transformation of industrial parks, it can build a green development quality evaluation system of industrial parks and formulate a green planning mechanism and green economic cycle development model in line with the background of the low-carbon economy.

Carbon Neutrality-oriented Approach to Mid-and Long-term Low-Carbon Transition Towards the New Climate Change Goals

Green and low-carbon transition has become an important development direction for future global economy and society.President XI Jinping pointed out that it is necessary to incorporate the goal of peaking carbon emissions and achieving carbon neutrality into the overall plan for economic and social development and ecological civilization construction.This is a major strategic decision made by the CPC Central Committee in consideration of both the international and domestic situations,and has been highly praised by the international community.It will contribute to the pursuit of the goals of high-quality development and ecological progress,inject strong impetus into the international response to climate change and the full and effective implementation of the Paris Agreement,and add new momentum to the post-epidemic global green recovery as well as the building of a community for all life on earth.However,the realization of the dual carbon target is very challenging,facing with multiple constraints such as technology,capital and system.At the same time,it needs to coordinate the relationships between short-term and long-term,development and emission reduction,and international and domestic.This paper organically combines the long-term low-carbon development strategy with the two phased goals of socialist modernization,and puts forward the timetable,roadmap and priorities for China's dual carbon targets.Moreover,it provides countermeasures and suggestions to promote the orderly implementation of the dual carbon strategic goals from six aspects:industrial structure,energy structure,technological innovation,regional coordination,institutional policies and international cooperation.

新质生产力驱动绿色发展:理论逻辑与实践进路

新质生产力作为符合绿色发展要求的先进生产力质态,能够助推绿色发展以实现高质量发展。从新质生产力要素组合的绿色底色、新质生产力与绿色生产关系的辩证关系、新质生产力与绿色生活方式的良性互动,以及新质生产力的人与自然和谐共生的价值目标四个层面,有助于厘清新质生产力驱动绿色发展的理论逻辑。在新发展阶段,以新质生产力驱动绿色发展对于进一步加快生产力发展的提质增效、推进经济发展方式的绿色转型、满足人的绿色发展需要具有重要意义。因此,需要不断完善相关体制机制建设,培养绿色技术发展所需的优质人才资源,修复生态环境和增加生态产品供给,加强绿色科技研发应用和构建绿色产业体系,倡导与推广绿色健康生活方式,从而推动实现人与自然和谐共生的现代化。

促进还是抑制:社会信任对绿色生活方式的影响机制

绿色生活方式转型对推动生态文明建设具有重要意义。基于价值—信念—规范理论和信任—信息—合作模型等,构建“社会信任—环境风险感知—环境关心—绿色生活方式”的理论分析框架,采用中国综合社会调查(CGSS)2021年数据,运用结构方程模型,探索社会信任对绿色生活方式的影响机制,分析环境风险感知和环境关心的中介效应。研究表明:(1)居民社会信任程度的提高,可以直接激发绿色生活方式意愿,从而间接促进绿色生活方式行为;(2)居民社会信任程度的提高,会降低环境风险感知,间接抑制绿色生活方式行为;(3)社会信任会通过降低环境风险感知而减少环境关心,再同时间接抑制绿色生活方式意愿和行为。社会信任对绿色生活方式的双重作用机制表明,社会信任可能是一把“双刃剑”:社会信任虽然能直接促进绿色生活方式的形成,推动绿色生活方式的转型,但是也可能通过降低环境风险感知和环境关心,抑制绿色生活方式的意愿和行为。因此,培育居民绿色生活方式可直接聚焦环境风险感知和环境关心,激发居民保护环境的内在情感和动力,以有效促进居民绿色生活方式的转型。

生产、生活方式绿色转型如何共同驱动绿色发展?——基于fsQCA的组态效应研究

随着资源环境约束日益缩紧,走生态优先的绿色发展之路已经成为社会共识,而发展方式的变革不仅需要转变传统的生产方式,也需要改变不环保的生活方式。该研究从生产方式和生活方式绿色转型视角出发,以2014—2020年中国30个省份的截面数据为案例样本,使用模糊集定性比较分析方法(fsQCA),探究高(非高)水平绿色发展的组态效应及其时间演变趋势和空间组态差异。结果表明:①单一条件不是实现高水平绿色发展的必要条件,非产业绿色转型是导致非高水平绿色发展的必要条件。②根据重要影响因素的异同将5条高水平绿色发展的驱动路径划分为产业-效率-需求驱动型、产业-需求驱动型和效率-需求驱动型;非高水平绿色发展的驱动路径有3条,绿色技术创新、产业绿色转型和绿色消费需求缺失是导致非高水平绿色发展的主要原因。③绿色发展的驱动路径具有空间异质性,东部地区绿色发展驱动路径具有一致性和完备性,中西部地区驱动路径更加多元和分散。④随着时间的推移,绿色产品需求和绿色消费能力在推动绿色发展中发挥着越来越重要的作用。基于上述研究结果,该研究提出不同地区应因地制宜,根据自身发展情况选择最佳绿色发展路径:高水平绿色发展地区要在深化自身优势的基础上推动绿色生产、生活方式的协同发展,低水平绿色发展地区需明确自身发展短板,集中优势资源突破生产、生活方式绿色转型方面制约绿色发展的关键因素。
