“…The past decade has seen a particularly rapid increase in research combining national development strategies and the transition to green or sustainable development, producing heterogeneous results in terms of progress [3][4][5][6]47,48] and different ways of achieving it, such as renewal, diversification, importation, and creation [7]. Despotovic et al [49] stated that post-transition European countries have a lower level of sustainable competitiveness and that heterogeneity also applies to the rest of Europe.…”

“…Global climate policies play an important role in reducing carbon dioxide emissions [47] and many countries have formulated relevant strategies and different policy instruments based on their own or international needs. Zheng et al [47] also found that different policy instruments have varying levels of performance in reducing carbon dioxide emissions and that while policy effectiveness varies across countries, it is generally higher in developing countries. These heterogeneous findings on the effectiveness of climate policy and competitiveness among different countries demand new knowledge about the possibility of achieving the shared Europe 2050 vision, given the significant differences between specific countries.…”

“…These heterogeneous findings on the effectiveness of climate policy and competitiveness among different countries demand new knowledge about the possibility of achieving the shared Europe 2050 vision, given the significant differences between specific countries. According to Zheng et al [47], when a country intends to launch a climate policy which aims to mitigate climate change, it should carefully consider its unique circumstances rather than seeking to replicate the policies adopted by other nations.…”

The EU climate policy affects the competitiveness of both the European Union (EU) as a whole and individual member states, leading countries to search for new knowledge to increase their national competitiveness. However, there has been little empirical research about the implementation of green competitive strategies in the common European space from different countries’ perspectives. Using the Porter Hypothesis and system theory, this paper explores national competitive strategies that align with climate neutrality in the EU. We used index construction, clusterization, principal components analysis and trajectories change analysis to analyze data from the 24 EU countries from a 10-year period (2012–2021). The main findings reveal three green competitiveness profiles and five green competitiveness progress strategies in the EU. We found that EU countries have different strategies and conditions in terms of their transition towards climate neutrality and competitiveness, which ultimately lead to different rates of progress. Our results provide an initial basis for the development of nation-specific policies to achieve green competitiveness.

“…In the past few years, more nations have developed applicable climate policies focused on their local or international needs, aiming to create a resilient society for future generations. Thus, various policy measures can be utilized to combat climate change, including legislation, monetary interventions such as taxes and levies, financial aid in subsidies, volunteerism strategies, and educational initiatives (Zheng et al, 2023).…”

Jakarta, the biggest city in Indonesia, has one district that consists of hundreds of islands that face severe climate hazards called the Seribu Islands complex. This study explores the evidence of local climate trends, the potential impact, and its policy intervention on Seribu Islands, which are classified as small island states and widely recognized as being especially at risk from climate change, threatening their economic and social growth. Long-term in-situ climate data, satellite data, interviews with local stakeholders, and literature reviews were utilized to conduct an exploratory descriptive analysis. The result revealed that Seribu Island experienced a 2.2°C increase in minimum temperature from 1980 until 2021, 3.5-fold of the frequency of extreme temperature and precipitation, 4.17 mm/year of sea level rise, and 10.8 ha land expansion in the densest island. Moreover, about 67% of the inhabitant’s islands were occupied by built-up areas that cover more than 50% of the region. Further, under the worst-case SLR scenario, about 58.4% of the area will be affected, and about 29 islands will disappear. This evidence was also reinforced by every single local respondent’s viewpoint who felt that climate change is occurring in the region. Even though the region faces a severe threat of climate change, the issue of climate change adaptation has not been mainstreamed yet into their local policy. Therefore, the urgency of a real-time climate ground station, a real-time early warning system, and establishing a Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) at the district level have yet to be addressed. Furthermore, the knowledge gained from such case studies is outlined, along with some scientific evidence that may assist small island states in better fostering the opportunities provided by climate change adaptation.

The continuous increase in global temperatures and frequency of extreme weather events underscore the urgency of achieving "dual carbon" goals. Systematically examining the textual characteristics of energy policies under the "dual carbon" framework, synthesizing the implementation pathways of "dual carbon" initiatives contribute to enhancing comprehension, execution, and optimisation of these policies. This study selecting 409 energy policies under the "dual carbon" goals issued by the central government, the State Council, and ministries from 1992 to 2022 as samples, using policy econometrics and content analysis methods, external characteristics of energy policies including publication time, publication type, and publication subject were analysed. Multidimensional content analysis was conducted for policy tools, objectives, and participants. The implementation path of the "dual carbon" goals was summarised. The study found that China's energy policy under "dual carbon" target has undergone four development stages before and after the release of the energy policy, and energy policy system has been continuously supplemented and improved. Various energy policy tools, diverse policy participants, and policy objectives are of concern and focus. From the "tool-subject-target" perspective, six paths for the implementation of "double carbon" targets in China's energy field are summarised. The energy policy under the "dual carbon" goal has problems such as lack of laws and regulations, over-use of environmental policy tools, uneven distribution in the internal segmentation of policy tools, insufficient involvement of market players and the public, and insufficient attention to the reform of energy systems and mechanisms and the goal of establishing energy-saving and low-carbon concepts.
