“…Public participation in environmental issues represents the extent to which the public supervises environmental pollution and participates in environmental protection. Since the impact of public participation on environmental governance takes a certain period of time [68], we select data from the last year to capture the real impact on the current period. Referring to Yang et al (2018), this study employs indicators from the China Environmental Yearbook to measure public participation, including the number of letters and visitors, the batch of visitors, proposals of the National People's Congress (NPC) and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) about environmental issues from various regions in 2015 [12].…”

Employing a sample consisting of Chinese A-share listed companies, this study carries out an empirical research to investigate the influence path of political connections on enterprise environmental performance. The results show a strong positive association between political connections and corporate environmental performance, and green technology innovation plays the mediating role between them. In addition, public participation negatively moderates the relationship between political connections and corporate environmental performance. When the level of public participation is higher, the relationship between political connections and corporate environmental performance becomes weaker.

“…Many previous studies showed that public environmental awareness and environmental participation can effectively promote local governmental governance [8,26]. Especially, under the background of the development of technology and the popularity of new media, the effect of public participation in environmental governance via new media is significantly more effective than the traditional petition channel [18,[27][28][29]. Thus, public participation of environmental governance is likely to be an irreversible trend.…”

The Chinese government has attached great importance to environmental collaborative governance recently to cope with rising pollution problems. How to measure environmental collaborative governance degree is a key issue to evaluate the level and progress of the implementation of this great ambition. This paper designs an index system for measuring environmental collaborative governance degree, covering dimensions of government, corporation and the public. The entropy method is applied to measure the change of environmental governance capacity. The coupling coordination model is adapted to evaluate the environmental collaborative governance degree of government–corporation–public. Empirical analysis is conducted by using the panel data of 30 provinces of China for the years 2006–2015. The results are provided and discussed from various dimensions. Suggestions are put forward accordingly. This paper focuses on developing a method for measuring environmental collaborative governance degree and is meaningful for enlightening future research about the effect of collaboration on environmental governance.

“…Simpson and Basta [30] presented four South African EIA case studies and explored the selection of capabilities and functioning of stakeholders in public participation. Some scholars have explored the correlating relationship between public environmental participation and government governance effectiveness based on the difference-in-difference (DID) method [31,32]. NPOs' participation in environmental management is another important form of public participation [33].…”

Considering public participation in environmental management, we developed a tripartite game model among governments, manufacturers and publics under carbon taxes and subsidies to investigate whether the mutual relationship between governments and the public can urge manufacturers to adopt low-carbon technology by examining the interaction effect among the multi-stakeholders. In this study, we focus on manufactured products without significant low-carbon peculiarity. For these products, consumers have no way to identify which are from low-carbon production and which are not. The results show that governments and the public have a complementary and coordinating relationship indeed. The regulation cost of governments, the supervision reward for the public and the supervision cost of the public can all influence the behavioral strategies among the multi-stakeholders, including governments, manufacturers and the public. With the regulation cost strengthens dramatically, governments can consider increasing the supervision reward to support the public to participate in the management of manufacturers’ behaviors. Publics should also actively improve their management ability, and the low cost of public participation in supervision is an effective reflection to make up for the lack of government regulation. The implementation of carbon taxes is more advantageous in urging low-carbon manufacturing than government subsidies for low-carbon production. A complete carbon label system can reflect the low-carbon preferences of consumers to help manufacturers integrate low-carbon behavior into their operational decisions.
