“…In this paper, "pollution" in reducing pollution and carbon refers to air pollution in environmental pollutants. The results of spatial analysis show that the areas with serious air pollution are highly overlapped with the key areas of carbon dioxide emissions [21]. Considering that it is difficult to make a unified comparative analysis of water, gas, soil and solid waste, this paper only selects air pollution to calculate.…”

In a changing climate, it is vital to focus on the co-benefits of the pollution control and carbon emission reduction. Based on calculation of emission equivalent, the synergy coefficient is further calculated to quantitatively analyze the co-benefits of air pollution control and carbon reduction in the Yangtze River Delta; Scenario analysis in co-benefits in the Yangtze River Delta from 2026–2035 is thoroughly proposed after STIRPAT model is designed based on influencing factors confirmation including population size, economic scale, industrialization level, urbanization rate and energy intensity from measuring dimensions of synergy coefficient. The results show that the Yangtze River Delta region can partially achieve synergistic emission reduction by 2026 and realize comprehensive synergistic emission reduction of air pollution and carbon emissions not late than 2030, which provides a reference for promoting the decision-making of the new stage of long-term carbon and pollution reduction, and further, realizing carbon peak regulation and carbon neutrality.

“…From an ecological standpoint, while the original intention of LCCPP is primarily to reduce greenhouse gas emissions-which it has indeed achieved by significantly improving carbon emission efficiency [33]-there has also been continuous improvement in energy utilization efficiency due to a decrease in energy-consuming industries' proportion and advancements in green technology innovation within enterprises. Consequently, this generates a "joint governance" effect for air pollution and carbon emission reduction [22,34], ultimately leading to improved ULGUE. Based on the above analysis, this paper proposes research hypothesis 1.…”

On the global scale, the low-carbon city pilot policy (LCCPP) has important significance for and influence on the study of urban land green use efficiency (ULGUE). Based on the panel data of 283 cities in China from 2007 to 2019, this study uses the super-SBM model, multi-period DID model, spatial econometric model, intermediary effect model, and heterogeneity analysis methods to deeply explore the specific impact mechanism of LCCPP on ULGUE. The results show the following: (1) During the study period, the average ULGUE of the selected samples increased by 11.71 percentage points overall and showed a certain spatial agglomeration effect. (2) LCCPP has a significant promoting effect on the improvement of ULGUE, and there is a positive spatial spillover effect. (3) The impact of LCCPP on ULGUE is mainly achieved through two paths: reducing energy utilization intensity and improving urban innovation level. (4) In cities with different levels of land green use efficiency, geographical location, and resource endowment, there are significant differences in policy effects. This paper puts forward countermeasures and suggestions to comprehensively promote the sustainable development of global cities and the improvement of land green use efficiency.

“…Second, the duplication and singularity of LCP tools have led to the lack of ILCD efficiency. The government's extensive use of targetsetting instruments in promoting low-carbon development has resulted in duplication of resources, poor marketization, and a single form of policy instruments, which has reduced social participation and equality of opportunity, creating a silo of lack of coordination and integration between low-carbon development and inclusive growth [12], resulting in low ILCD efficiency. The above-mentioned practical problems make the regional ILCD lack a clear LCP as a basis, which leads to an imperfect long-term mechanism and thus hinders the transformation of results.…”

To better address the inequities and inequalities brought by the monotonous approach to low-carbon development, it is necessary to actively explore inclusive low-carbon development (ILCD) pathways, and low-carbon policy (LCP) synergy plays a crucial role in ILCD. This paper manually collected LCP data from 30 provinces in China from 2010 to 2019 and conducted a study using text analysis to measure LCP subject synergy, LCP tool synergy, and LCP overall synergy. At the same time, an indicator analysis framework of ILCD was constructed to measure the efficiency of ILCD at the provincial level through the super-efficient SBM model. On this basis, the impact of LCP synergy on regional ILCD is explored to reveal its mechanism of action, and heterogeneity is explored. The results show the following: (1) In general, LCP subject synergy, LCP tool synergy and LCP overall synergy all effectively promote regional ILCD. (2) Both LCP subject synergy and LCP tool synergy are indispensable. Policy synergy can positively affect ILCD only when both policy subjects and policy instruments are highly synergistic, while ILCD is significantly weakened when both policy subjects and policy instruments are lowly synergistic. (3) The stronger the innovation capacity of provinces, the stronger the contribution of LCP synergy to ILCD. (4) In non-resource-based regions, the effect of LCP subject synergy on regional ILCD is more significant, and the effect of LCP tool synergy is not significant, while the opposite is true for resource-based regions. The study plays a certain reference significance for the government to improve LCP synergy and promote regional ILCD.
