“…Research indicates that environmental regulation has a significant effect on emission reduction [40]. Increasing environmental regulation can improve environmental quality [8]; however, the problem of the incomplete implementation of government regulation still persists in China. Consequently, the government's exclusive reliance on traditional environmental management methods poses certain challenges, including low regulatory efficiency and a reliance on a singular management approach.…”

“…Due to the complexity of environmental problems, environmental governance performance is affected by a variety of factors. Chinese scholars have extensively examined environmental governance performance from multiple perspectives, such as environmental regulation, social capital, and public participation [6][7][8][9][10]; their conclusions suggest that social capital, as a lubricant, effectively promotes residents' environmentally friendly behaviors, while the government enforcement of environmental policies reduces carbon emissions and enhances environmental governance performance, and public participation can reduce environmental costs, play a supervisory role, and enhance environmental governance performance. Foreign scholars have also conducted relevant research and discussions on the crucial role of local governments in environmental governance performance and the promotion of environmental sustainability [11,12].…”

The development of digitalization has brought about profound changes in government governance, enterprise production and residents’ daily lives. Whether digitalization inhibits environmental pollution is a question that needs to be answered urgently, as it is of great significance for addressing conflicts between human beings and the ecological environment. Moreover, it provides a theoretical basis for China’s green and sustainable development. China’s environmental governance model is in a new stage of “government, enterprise, and public” multifaceted governance. Therefore, this paper empirically analyzes the impact of digitalization on environmental governance performance and its mediating effect from a multidimensional perspective, using inter-provincial panel data from 2011 to 2020 as a sample and employing structural equation modeling. It is found that digitalization can significantly improve environmental governance performance, while mechanism analysis shows that digitalization improves environmental governance performance through improving government environmental regulation, public environmental participation, and corporate green technology innovation. Heterogeneity analysis shows that the contribution of digitization to environmental governance performance varies significantly according to geographic region and regional innovative capacity. Based on this, policy recommendations are proposed in terms of digitalization construction, the government, public and enterprises to form a multi-governance environmental governance system among the government, public and enterprises.

Government support for achieving corporate carbon emission reduction is crucial not only for sustainable business development, but it also holds strategic importance for China to achieve its “dual-carbon” goals. This article empirically explores the impact and underlying mechanisms of government environmental attention (GEA) on corporate carbon emission reduction performance (CEP), using a sample of A-share listed companies with high energy consumption from 2009 to 2020. The results show that GEA can improve corporate CEP. A heterogeneity analysis found that this effect is more pronounced in heavily polluting industries, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and companies located in the eastern regions of the country. A mechanism analysis suggested that GEA can improve corporate CEP by strengthening internal green technological innovation capabilities and attracting attention from external analysts and media. These research conclusions guide corporate carbon emission reduction practices and offer empirical evidence for the government in formulating regulatory policies for carbon reduction.
