This negative effect is especially pronounced in regions with lower levels of urban informatization, as well as in central and western areas and large cities.

Using static and dynamic econometric methods, including the quantile regression and autoregressive distributed lag model, it explores the impacts of renewable and nonrenewable energy consumption on GHD. The findings demonstrate that renewable energy currently has a detrimental impact on GHD due to its limited adoption and high costs. Conversely, nonrenewable energy positively influences GHD, as it is the primary energy source in the country and is becoming more efficient at reducing emissions. However, the study finds that greater use of renewable energy reduces its adverse effects, suggesting that as renewable energy technologies become more cost-effective and widely implemented, their initial adverse effects could be mitigated, leading to improved long-term GHD outcomes. These findings carry important implications for Indonesia, where the government is striving to expand renewable energy capacity while promoting equitable development across its archipelagic regions.

Domestic Chinese research has frequently highlighted these issues within the ecological civilization, especially in its global dimension. Building on existing research, this study contends that the disparity in recognition stems from three crucial gaps: a conceptual gap between ecological civilization as a new narrative and established international governance frameworks; a practical gap between how China’s ecological civilization advances sustainable development governance versus international understanding; and a communication gap between its substantial achievements and inadequate communication of these experiences. To address these gaps, this paper recommends that China strengthen its efforts in three key areas: First, maintain strategic resolve by deepening green practices and strengthening corporate environmental standards to advance green norms. Second, promote the global co-construction of ecological civilization and strengthen global governance featuring extensive consultation and joint contributions for shared benefits. Third, enhance fairness, representativeness, and inclusiveness in international sustainable development negotiations. Finally, China, along with Global South countries, should continue advancing global ecological civilization.
