How does financial decentralization synergies carbon reduction and pollution control in China?
This study looks at how carbon reduction, pollution management, and monetary decentralization in China all work together for a win-win situation. Since China is the most significant contributor to global warming, the country must implement policies to cut carbon emissions and curb pollution. One possible answer is financial decentralization, delegating federal financial responsibilities, and decisions to state and regional governments. The study used the weighted matrix analysis technique, LM matrix analysis technique, and ARDL short-run and long-run analysis estimates. However, the degree to which it will help China reduc...

Forecasting of secondary lead recovery from motorcycle batteries in Brazil: a contribution to waste management
This study aims to predict the potential for secondary lead recovery from motorcycle batteries in Brazil, since this is considered the second largest category of automobiles in the country. To achieve this objective, a forecasting model based on the ARIMA methodology was applied, with input data taken from Brazilian sectorial platforms. Furthermore, an analysis of the data, of the residuals, autocorrelation tests, as well as Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Dickey-Fuller tests, were performed. The SARIMA model (3,1,0) (2,0,0)12 presented a better adaptation to the behavior of the series. The results showed that the amount of seconda...

The government-production nexus of energy efficiency in China's construction industry: regional difference and factor analysis
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2023 Sep 19. doi: 10.1007/s11356-023-29470-0. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFor decades, the construction industry has contributed significantly to China's economic growth. The heavy energy consumption inevitably leads to the release of large amounts of carbon emissions. Improving energy efficiency has been a crucial solution for mitigating the environmental impacts while boosting its green economy in the construction industry. Measuring the energy efficiency in the construction industry considering the quality of government sector is still limited. Using panel provincial data in China from 2011...

Cross-regional ecological compensation under the composite index of water quality and quantity: A case study of the Yellow River Basin
Environ Res. 2023 Sep 15:117152. doi: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.117152. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe calculation of ecological compensation (EC) constitutes the core element of the EC mechanism, which is related to the practicability of the mechanism. Based on the comprehensive index of water quality and quantity, this study establishes a measurement method for EC across administrative divisions. First, the improved Nemerow pollution index (NPI) is adopted to assess the water quality of specific sections, while the water rights and GDP indicators are employed to characterize the water quantity of each section. Secondly, g...

Low-carbon transformation of China's smallholder agriculture: exploring the role of farmland size expansion and green technology adoption
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2023 Sep 16. doi: 10.1007/s11356-023-29610-6. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFarmland size and green technology have a significant impact on agricultural carbon emissions. However, more research needs to consider the impact of their interaction on agricultural carbon neutralization. In this paper, the impact of farmland size on the net carbon effect and its underlying mechanisms from the perspective of green agricultural technology adoption were empirically examined using a tracking survey of 2600 farming households. The results show that farmland size expansion at both household and plot levels ...

Disaster management and environmental policy integration in Pakistan - an evaluation with particular reference to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor Plan
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2023 Sep 16. doi: 10.1007/s11356-023-29310-1. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEconomic and social development, the state of the environment and a propensity for disasters are closely intertwined. Therefore, environmental policy integration (EPI) across development and disaster management (DM) policies and plans is important. Pakistan as a country is highly vulnerable to climate-induced environmental changes and associated disasters. In this paper, the extent to which its national environment and climate change policy, disaster risk reduction (DRR) policy as well as disaster management (DM) plans a...

How digital finance affects environmental pollution management: evidence from China
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2023 Sep 15. doi: 10.1007/s11356-023-29787-w. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDue to people's insufficient anticipation of the negative impact of highly developed industries and the lack of prevention, global environmental pollution has occurred. These pollutants include air pollution, water pollutants, and land pollution, which not only cause direct damage and impact the ecosystem but also endanger the health of urban residents and economic development. Therefore, researching environmental pollution management is necessary to help solve these imminent environmental problems. In addition, digital ...

Cities' low-carbon transformation and labor income share of companies: evidence from the low-carbon city pilot program in China
This study finds that the LCCP program significantly affects firms' labor income share. The proportion of highly educated employees and the level of financialization within the firm act as mediators that influence labor income share. This paper suggests that government should use reasonable environmental regulatory policy to facilitate labor income share to alleviate inequality, promote the scope of the program to more cities, and help firms to improve human capital level as well as serve more financial policies.PMID:37707730 | DOI:10.1007/s11356-023-29729-6

Financial inclusion and environmental pollution in T ürkiye: Fresh evidence from load capacity curve using AARDL method
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2023 Sep 13. doi: 10.1007/s11356-023-29766-1. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSustainability is an important concept for the whole world. Generally, in order to measure the sustainability of the environment, carbon dioxide emissions and ecological footprint indicators are used. However, these variables do not reflect the supply side of natural resources. Therefore, load capacity factor is an important environmental indicator for a sustainability. Environmental assessment based on the load capacity factor is more meaningful. Besides, improved access to financial services can contribute to environme...
