“…However, many government departments are often more concerned about economic development and infrastructure construction, ignoring that farmers need the coordinated development of various types of capital in the context of climate change. At the same time, meteorological and environmental protection departments failed to combine economic and social development planning when formulating countermeasures to cope with climate change, which led to a relatively fragmented division of labour among various departments and failure to form a joint force for development (Luo et al , 2023). Therefore, the conclusion of this study provides essential insight for farmers to eliminate livelihood vulnerability caused by poverty and climate change and realise sustainable livelihoods.…”

“…4.1.2 Difference in difference method. DID is considered the most effective scientific method for evaluating the impact of policies or shocks (Li et al, 2018;Luo et al, 2023) and regards relocation as an independent quasi-natural experiment. By making twice differentials between the two groups of samples, we obtained the net effect by which farmers' livelihood capital is entirely affected by relocation.…”

Purpose This study aims to construct an evaluation system for farmers’ livelihood capital in minority areas and evaluate the impact of relocation in response to climate change on farmers’ livelihood capital. Design/methodology/approach According to the characteristics of Yunnan minority areas, the livelihood capital of farmers in minority areas is divided into natural, physical, financial, social, human and cultural capital. The improved livelihood capital evaluation system measures farmers’ livelihood capital from 2015 to 2021. The net impact of relocation on farmers’ livelihood capital was separated using propensity score matching and the difference-in-difference (PSM-DID) method. Findings The shortage of livelihood capital makes it difficult for farmers to resist climate change, and the negative impacts of climate change further aggravate their livelihood vulnerability and reduce their livelihood capital. Relocation has dramatically increased the livelihood capital of farmers living in areas with poor natural conditions by 15.67% and has enhanced their ability to cope with climate change and realise sustainable livelihoods. Originality/value An improved livelihood capital evaluation system is constructed to realise the future localisation and development of livelihood capital research. The PSM-DID method was used to overcome endogeneity problems and sample selection bias of the policy evaluation methods. This study provides new ideas for academic research and policy formulation by integrating climate change, poverty governance and sustainable livelihoods.

We verified the effect of patent insurance policy implementation on corporate green transformation, using a dataset of Chinese‐listed companies from 2007 to 2019. Using double/debiased machine learning and text analysis, we found that the pilot policy of patent insurance has a significant positive impact on the green transformation of enterprises. This effect is significant in heavily polluting industries, eastern regions, state‐owned enterprises, and companies in a growth stage. The patent insurance pilot policy promotes corporate green transformation by alleviating financing constraints, reducing operational risks, and increasing green output.
