“…Given the division of power between departments and problems such as passing the buck, engagement in wrangling, and the gradual transfer of accountability pressure between bureaucracies, the RCP can to a certain extent curb the short-term behavior of local government officials who are keen to pursue GDP and ignore the ecological environment, and thereby strengthen local governments' commitment to protecting the ecological environment. Wang and Chen [2] and Wang et al [3] concluded that the RCP provides effective water management to tackle collaborative issues in the Chinese context, at least in the short term, from the perspective of collaborative governance theory. However, other scholars have questioned the RCP's long-term effectiveness.…”

The River Chief Policy (RCP), an institutional innovation in China by which top party and government officials assume responsibility for water management, shapes the incentive structure of local governments and may have a huge influence on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Using a staggered difference-in-difference approach and panel data from 91 cities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt, we estimate the impact of the RCP on an SDG index with eight local-specific indicators. The estimation results show that the RCP has improved the overall SDG index and significantly improved the levels of innovation, education, and consumption. Heterogeneity tests show that more affluent regions are more committed to investing in education, raising consumption, and increasing wages under the RCP. These results suggest that local governments in China have responded rationally and strategically to the RCP. In general, economic growth remains the central goal of local governments, while the strengthening of other responsibilities such as environmental protection will lead to more effort being made to achieve the SDGs during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…The war between humans and pathogens has never been stopped over the past thousands of years and seems to continue endlessly, due to the fact that pathogenic microorganisms are ubiquitous in environment and can cause various infectious diseases and even mass death, such as the current COVID-19 pandemic ( Baum et al, 2020 ). Waterborne infectious diseases (e.g., diarrhoea, cholera, dysentery, typhoid, and polio) are generally associated with bacteria, viruses, protozoa and other microbes transmitted via water, and remain a global public health issue as a major source of morbidity and mortality in the world today ( Fenwick, 2006 ; Leclerc et al, 2002 ; Semenza, 2020 ; Wang et al, 2019 ). According to a recent report from WHO (2019) , diarrhoea alone is estimated to kill 829,000 people per year, including 485,000 deaths caused by contaminated drinking water with rotavirus and Escherichia coli .…”

Continuous economic loss and even human death caused by various microbial pathogens in drinking water call for the development of water disinfection systems with the features of environmentally friendly nature, high inactivation efficacy without pathogen regrowth, facile disinfection operation and low energy consumption. Alternatively, g-C 3 N 4 -based visible-light-enabled photocatalytic disinfection can meet the above requirements and thus has attracted increasing interest in recent years. Here, we explored for the first time the antimicrobial ability and mechanisms of a wide spectrum of representative pathogens ranging from bacteria ( Escherichia coli ), to viruses (human adenoviruses) and spores ( Bacillus subtilis spores) by g-C 3 N 4 /Vis system with the assistance of two common oxidants (H 2 O 2 and PMS), especially in a comparative perspective. Pristine g-C 3 N 4 could achieve a complete inactivation of bacteria (5-log) within 150 min, but displayed negligible antimicrobial activity against human viruses and spores (< 0.5-log). Fortunately, simple addition of oxidants into the system could greatly enhance the inactivation of bacteria (5-log with PMS within 120 min) and human viruses (2.6-log with H 2 O 2 within 150 min). Roles of reactive oxygen species were found to be quite different in the disinfection processes, depending on both types of chemical oxidants and microbial pathogens. Additionally, disinfection efficiency could be facilely and effectively improved by statistical optimization of two important operating factors (i.e., catalyst loading and oxidant addition). Selection of added oxidants was determined by not only the target pathogen but also the water matrix. As a proof of concept, this work can provide some meaningful and useful information for advancing the field of green and sustainable water disinfection.

“…The involvement of government stakeholders, the industry manager, and the community collaboratively is a necessity. Thus collaborative urban governance model involves the various stakeholders (Bartocci & Picciaia, 2020;Jean et al, 2018;McDonald & Young, 2012;Wang et al, 2019)in the industrial area's environmental management. Environmental management in the industrial area is also related to the way to manage the waste generated.…”

This paper's purpose for this study is to provide an overview related to the partnership or the cooperation between the government and the private sector, specifically the manager of the industry and the community in the environmental management of the industrial area in Gresik and Sidoarjo Regency. This research used a qualitative approach to analyze the data, interviews, documentation, and questionnaires. This study revealed that the environment's management in a sustainable manner should be supported by stakeholders, the government, the community, and the private sectors. Also, this research attends to instill a sense of environmental concern in the entire party. Collaborative urban governance sustainabilitycan not be separated from the leader's success in embracing the related parties and using existing industry resources. The stakeholder determines the success of managing the industrial area in the Gresik and Sidoarjo Regency, government, public, and private parties through a Collaborative Urban Governance model.Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk memberikan gambaran kemitraan atau kerjasama antara pemerintah dengan pihak swasta, khususnya pengelola industri dan masyarakat dalam pengelolaan lingkungan kawasan industri di Kabupaten Gresik dan Sidoarjo. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif untuk menganalisis data, wawancara, dokumentasi, dan angket. Studi ini mengungkapkan bahwa pengelolaan lingkungan secara berkelanjutan harus didukung oleh pemangku kepentingan, pemerintah, masyarakat, dan pihak swasta. Selain itu, penelitian ini hadir untuk menanamkan rasa kepedulian lingkungan pada seluruh pihak. Keberlanjutan Collaborative Urban Governance tidak lepas dari keberhasilan pimpinan dalam merangkul pihak terkait dan menggunakan sumber daya industri yang ada. Keberhasilan pengelolaan kawasan industri di Kabupaten Gresik dan Sidoarjo ditentukan oleh keterlibatan pemangku kepentingan, pemerintah, publik, dan swasta melalui model Collaborative Urban Governance.
