“…Then Wu et al (2017) apply this method to assess energy consumption inequality in rural China, and find that the overall inequality of energy consumption and expenditure varies greatly in terms of energy type, end-use demand, regions and climatic zones. Work by Pakrooh et al (2020) introduces the Theil index into the energy consumption equity analysis and concludes that the world's energy consumption inequality is decreasing with years. For the first time, Schlör et al (2013) use the Atkinson index as an analytical tool to calculate the distribution of energy consumption and use the epsilon parameter 3 to explicitly reveal the inequality aversion of society.…”

Inequality is usually discussed in a monetary perspective, while the disparity in energy access sometimes is more severe. This paper mainly studies the impact of urbanization on urban-rural electricity consumption inequality with a modified STRIPAT model. We find that there is a long-run U-shaped relationship between urbanization and urban-rural electricity consumption inequality, and the estimated turning point arrives at the urbanization level of around 60%. We further carry out a regional heterogeneity analysis and then have two interesting findings: firstly, the colder northern region's turning point arrives later than the south. Secondly, the baseline U-shaped relationship remains for developed eastern regions, while for the undeveloped midwest, the relationship is not nonlinear but linearly negative. As an extension, we lastly explore the mechanism underlying the U-shaped relationship, and find that the interaction of urbanization's scale and efficiency effect determines the U-shaped relationship.

“…The growing awareness of carbon emissions in Iran's agricultural sector was examined by Pakrooh et al (2020) to get a better understanding of the driving forces behind CO 2 emissions. In the last decade, the agriculture sector has been confronted with increased carbon emissions, ineffective government regulations, and rising fossil fuel consumption rates.…”

This study considers five regions, i.e., South Asia, South-East Asia, China, Middle Eastern countries, and European countries, and took their data for 15 years. This study makes a significant contribution to the literature by examining the impact of green finance on environmental sustainability. Green finance development is represented by GDP, investment in renewable energy sources, investment in research and development (R&D) for eco-friendly projects, and public–private partnership investment in renewable energy projects. Green financing development in the chosen panel exhibits a distinct geographical cluster effect, with significant regional variances. The most important influencing elements are regional GDP, regional innovation level, and air quality, whereas the degree of financial development and industrial structure optimization are insignificant. The degree of financial development and industrial structure optimization are related to the amount of green finance development mostly via spillover effects. The degree of financial development has a positive spillover impact, but industrial structure optimization has a negative spillover effect. This study reveals that an increase in the production of energy from renewable sources, an increase in R&D, and the evolution of public–private partnership investment in renewable energy reduce CO2 emissions. It is evidenced that green finance in renewable energy sources is necessary to achieve environmental sustainability. There is a strong need to increase green finance in renewable sources to target the minimization of global CO2 emissions. There should be cross-border trade of renewable energy between regions/countries to mitigate CO2 emissions globally. Moreover, this study ranks the regions based on environmental sustainability, which may help researchers and decision-makers to entice foreign direct and private investment in these regions. The implications of the findings of the study suggest that environmental sustainability benefits greatly from green financing and investing in renewable energy sources through public–private partnerships, which represents one of the best ways to ensure environmental sustainability.

Rapid urbanization in China has led to resource depletion, environmental pollution, and social inequity. The cornerstone of China's high-quality economic development is inclusive green development, which has developed as the society's primary objective. Based on the panel data of 16 prefecture-level cities in Anhui Province from 2011 to 2020, the study explores the connotation of urban inclusive green development efficiency (IGDE) and evaluates IGDE using the hierarchical entropy weight TOPSIS model combined with the global-Super-SBM model. The current situation and problems of IGDE in Anhui Province are thoroughly analyzed, then the Global-Malmquist index is used to analyze the structural dynamics of efficiency dynamics, the Theil index to explore the sources of regional differences in efficiency and the efficiency slackness index to discover the causes of low-efficiency losses. The results indicate that, technological progress is the key factor affecting IGDE. Intra-regional variation is the primary source of regional variation in IGDE. The inadequacy of infrastructure, medical level, educational equity, and green status are the four decisive aspects that cause the low efficiency of IGDE for the whole, but the weaknesses of IGDE are specifically from city to city. According to the above, the practical promotion path of IGDE in Anhui province has been obtained.
