Subsequently, we predicted changes in carbon sequestration in grasslands under the influence of the GECP from 2021 to 2040 using a simulation. The main conclusions are as follows: First, the implementation of the GECP promoted carbon sequestration in grasslands. This conclusion was validated after conducting a series of robustness tests. Moreover, the effects of the GECP were heterogeneous across different geographical locations, highway densities, and grassland areas. Finally, the simulation results indicated that over the next 20 years, grassland carbon sequestration will generally increase but exhibit cyclical changes. The government should align the principles and objectives of the GECP with local geographic conditions, resource availability, and socio-economic development. It must formulate and implement tailored policies that maximize the ecological protection benefits of the GECP and promote carbon sequestration in the grasslands of the YRB.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":45743,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Population Resources and Environment","volume":"24 1","pages":"Pages 27-40"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147636749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study treats the creation of CBEC pilot zones as a quasi-natural experiment, employing panel data from Chinese A-share listed companies matched with city-level information from 2006 to 2021. We construct a multi-period difference-in-differences model to identify the impact of CBEC pilot zone policy on corporate carbon emissions. Our findings indicate the construction of these pilot zones significantly reduces firms’ carbon emissions intensity, and the results are robust across multiple tests. We show the pilot zone initiative contributes to emission reductions by enhancing the adoption of digital infrastructure, promoting green technological innovation, and increasing environmental awareness among enterprises. Quantile regressions reveal pilot zones exert a more pronounced carbon-reduction effect on firms characterized by high carbon emissions intensity and advanced levels of digital transformation. Moreover, the policy effect is especially significant in heavily polluting industries, and regions with weaker governmental environmental regulations or lower public environmental concerns. This study makes an innovative contribution to the literature by empirically verifying the environmental governance effect of establishing CBEC pilot zones, and offers practical guidance for governments in formulating cross-border e-commerce policies and for enterprises pursuing low-carbon development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":45743,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Population Resources and Environment","volume":"24 1","pages":"Pages 1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147636796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study uses data on A-share listed companies on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges from 2012 to 2022 to conduct a multi-period difference-in-differences analysis based on a list of green supply chain management (GSM) companies. We find that GSM significantly promotes low-carbon technology innovations (LCT) of upstream enterprises. The mechanism analysis indicates that GSM has a resource effect and signal effect that generate LCT spillovers. In terms of the resource effect, GSM companies offer green credit and support green procurement, thereby providing financial support for green investments in upstream LCT. In terms of a signaling effect, GSM strengthens the effectiveness of institutional investors, the public, and online media in supervising upstream suppliers’ green credentials, thereby promoting upstream LCT. A heterogeneity analysis shows that when midstream companies are state-owned enterprises or industry leaders, and when the concentration and stability of supply chain purchase relationships are higher, the LCT spillover effects of GSM are more pronounced. Further analysis reveals that GSM has bidirectional horizontal spillover effects and that upstream unidirectional vertical spillover effects are limited to first-level suppliers. Additionally, under the premise of not compromising economic benefits and stability, GSM shows an emerging trend of transitioning from environmentally compliant “light green” supply chains to “deep green” supply chains focused on pollution reduction, carbon reduction, and energy conservation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":45743,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Population Resources and Environment","volume":"23 4","pages":"Pages 480-493"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145847685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We identify key factors that could greatly influence the total emissions reduction potential across all provinces, including the proportion of paperboard used and the emission factor of primary aluminum production. We show the incineration rate and electricity emission factor explain variations among provinces when recycling volumes are held constant. Integrated direct extrusion recycling technology has a greater dependence on electricity than the separating method and is therefore more significantly affected by the electricity emission factor. In 2030, recycling under one of five shared Socioeconomic Pathway scenarios considered shows the highest potential for carbon emissions reduction (median = 21 304 tons of CO<sub>2</sub> equivalents).
