Abstract

In the context of building an ecological civilization, green innovation has become a key pathway to achieving sustainable development. Environmental governance pressure, as an external driving force, compels enterprises to assume environmental responsibilities and serves as a critical driver of green innovation. However, this relationship remains underexplored in academic research. Based on this, this study investigates the impact of environmental governance pressure on green innovation, providing empirical support for the development of green strategies. Analyzing provincial panel data from China (2007–2021) using spatial econometric models, we explore the intricate mechanisms by which environmental governance pressure influences green innovation and how these effects vary between coastal and inland regions. The findings present a comprehensive picture: ① Environmental governance pressure significantly stimulates green innovation across Chinese provinces; ② Compared to inland regions, coastal areas experience a more pronounced positive effect; ③ There is a threshold effect, where moderate environmental regulation amplifies the positive impact of governance pressure on green innovation; ④ Green credit and innovation investment partially mediate the relationship between governance pressure and green innovation. These findings collectively enhance our understanding of how environmental governance pressure guides and stimulates the trajectory of green innovation.

期刊介绍: Environment, Development and Sustainability is an international and multidisciplinary journal covering all aspects of the environmental impacts of socio-economic development. It is also concerned with the complex interactions which occur between development and environment, and its purpose is to seek ways and means for achieving sustainability in all human activities aimed at such development. The subject matter of the journal includes the following and related issues: -mutual interactions among society, development and environment, and their implications for sustainable development -technical, economic, ethical and philosophical aspects of sustainable development -global sustainability - the obstacles and ways in which they could be overcome -local and regional sustainability initiatives, their practical implementation, and relevance for use in a wider context -development and application of indicators of sustainability -development, verification, implementation and monitoring of policies for sustainable development -sustainable use of land, water, energy and biological resources in development -impacts of agriculture and forestry activities on soil and aquatic ecosystems and biodiversity -effects of energy use and global climate change on development and sustainability -impacts of population growth and human activities on food and other essential resources for development -role of national and international agencies, and of international aid and trade arrangements in sustainable development -social and cultural contexts of sustainable development -role of education and public awareness in sustainable development -role of political and economic instruments in sustainable development -shortcomings of sustainable development and its alternatives.
