In addressing the issue of climate change, the Chinese government has established a definitive objective to attain its peak carbon emissions by 2030 and strive for carbon neutrality by 2060. This effort aims to progressively achieve a state of net-zero carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. In the given scenario, this research examines challenges in promoting low-carbon manufacturing (LCM) within the Chinese automotive sector, specifically in the context of Green Tech projects. In view of greater emphasis on environmental sustainability and technological innovation, this study aims to uncover challenges restraining the adoption of LCM in one of the world’s largest automotive markets, China. A three-step methodology was adopted by incorporating a literature review, the Delphi method, Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM), and MICMAC analysis. In the first stage, relevant articles were selected scientifically to identify the main challenges in previous studies by following the relevant keyword criteria. Further, challenges identified from the comprehensive literature review were screened through the Delphi method, and finally, challenges were modeled and clustered through ISM and MICMAC analysis. Data collected from the experts highlight that “difficulties in the transition towards energy efficient technologies”, “insufficient operational efficiency”, and “information imbalances and asymmetry” were the most critical challenges that hinder LCM initiatives in the automotive industry. This research serves as a valuable resource for academia, industry professionals, and policymakers in the quest to adopt LCM in the dynamic context of the Chinese automotive sector.

“…Since 1953, China has implemented a series of “the Outline of the Five-Year Plans for National Economic and Social Development (the Five-Year Plan)” to adjust the socio-economic speed, direction, attention, plan, and vision (Stern and Xie 2023 ; Zheng et al 2022 ). In environmental stewardship, China has implemented dozens of policies and campaigns to control environmental pollution since 2000, including the green credit policy, energy saving and low carbon action, central environmental inspection, and national air quality monitoring program (Wang et al 2022a ; Zameer et al 2020 ; Zhao et al 2022 ).…”

Under the global climate crisis, harnessing investment for sustainable development is a practical and effective measure for international society. Based on the logarithmic mean Divisia index (LMDI) decomposition and three-stage least squares (3SLS) structural approaches, this study explores the home-country pollution reduction effect of Chinese OFDI activities using the city-level panel data from 2007 to 2019. The findings of this study indicate that (1) China has made a remarkable achievement in PM2.5 pollution reduction and governance, especially from the year 2012. (2) The OFDI activities can significantly decrease the home-country PM 2.5 pollution. With every 1% increase in OFDI flows, the overall pollution level will decrease by 0.76%. (3) Compared with the scale mechanism, the technology and composition mechanism effects of OFDI flows are more evident in addressing the home-country PM 2.5 pollution. With several related policy implications, this study may fill the lacuna of how to play the role of OFDI activities in the home country, thus promoting sustainable development in the next stage.

“…Since domestic air, water and soil pollution are closely related to energy consumption, it has been estimated that strong climate policies could reduce the number of deaths related to China's particulate matter (PM) 2.5 and ozone by 23 per cent by 2030, compared with a baseline scenario (Yang et al 2021). Green growth, through innovation and creation of quality jobs, could become a new aggregate growth driver (Stern and Xie 2022). A green recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic could also encourage strong near-term actions against climate change.…”

China’s Transition to a New Phase of Development

As the world's largest developing country, China is marching towards ambitious climate goals of achieving peak carbon by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060. Given that China is the largest buyer of Australia's iron ore and one of the largest buyers of Australia's coal and liquefied natural gas (LNG), such climate efforts could be expected to impact Australia profoundly. This chapter examines how China's transition to carbon neutrality will affect the Australian economy at the national and state levels and by industry. Our simulation shows that although China's imports of Australian fossil fuels will fall significantly, the impact of those changes on the national economy is negligible. However, the mining sector and those states and territories that rely on fossil fuel production will suffer relatively larger effects.
