“…For instance, results differed on the basis of the adopted econometric methods. Indicatively, authors used the fully modified ordinary least-square method (FMOLS) or generalized method of moments (GMM) [80,81], a panel Tobit model with a bootstrap method [82], autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) and vector error correction modeling (VECM), or a combination of econometric techniques [64,[83][84][85]. Moreover, review findings revealed that authors processed research based on China's provincial data [53,[86][87][88] or at a national level [61,80] or at a national and regional level [43].…”

Climate change is directly linked to a broad array of changes because of disorganized activities within the economic system and human intervention. Climate change affects the well-being status of both non-living and living things. Relevant policies to mitigate and adapt to climate change conditions concentrate on solutions that intend to use renewable energy instead of fossil fuels or other conventional energy sources. This study aims to process a review focused on how renewables advance environmental quality and create relevant benefits within severe economic activities. This study elaborates on the case of China for two main reasons. First, China has a pivotal role in the economic system worldwide. Second, China is making serious attempts to transition into a low-carbon economy. An integrative review was processed to receive selected publications. The advantage of this process is that it considers empirical and non-empirical studies, policy papers, and conceptual frameworks. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied to retrieve the final number of publications. Review results from 39 well-acknowledged Journals provided 180 selected publications categorized into seven study groups: data analyses, model optimization studies, market issues, renewable energy technology publications, nuclear energy publications, ocean energy publications, and policy-related studies. Policy implications concern China’s efforts to accelerate the integration of renewables in the energy mix. Hence, the country should increase energy efficiency in consumption and process investment plans based on robust research and development efforts.

“…RETI lowers renewable energy costs and enables the country to achieve large-scale development, thus changing the current energy mix [ 7 ]. Raising RETI's level helps to fundamentally decouple economic growth from environmental pollution and resource consumption, leading to sustainable development [ 8 ]. To upgrade RETI's level, the Chinese central government released “China's Policies and Actions to Address Climate Change” in October 2021, which proposes prioritizing renewable energy development and comprehensively increasing renewable energy efficiency by upgrading China's RETI levels.…”

“…Along with integrated development, Chinese provinces are increasingly interdependent, so the missing of cross-sectional dependence may lead to severe economic consequences [48][49]. Therefore, we discussed cross-sectional dependence with the help of the test method developed by Pesaran (2015) [31].…”

In the context of global warming, low-carbon economy has attracted more and more countries' attention. Using second-generation unit root CIPS test and mean group (MG) estimation, we examined the impact of CO 2 emissions and economic loss on forest productivity with panel data on 30 Chinese provinces from 2004 to 2020.The results showed that CO 2 emissions and economic loss had significant negative impacts on it, technical innovation had positive impacts on it, and the share of secondary industry had negative impacts on it. Regarding regional heterogeneity, CO 2 emissions in west China had the greatest impact on forest productivity, followed by east China. The coefficients of economic loss in west, east and middle China were all negative, but those in east and middle China did not pass significance test. The coefficients of technical innovation in east and west China were positive, with the coefficient in east China not passing significance test. In order to improve forest productivity and achieve carbon neutrality, it is necessary to reduce CO 2 emissions, curb economic losses caused by factors like environmental pollution, natural disasters, geological disasters and forest fires, improve technological innovation, promote industrial upgrade, and implement differentiated policies based on local conditions.
