Climate-resilient city pilot and green economy: A study of local and peer effects.

Under the dual pressures of rapid global climate change and the transition to a green economy, the policy effects of Climate-Resilient City Pilot (CRCP), launched in 2017, urgently require a systematic quantitative assessment. Based on this, this study utilizes panel data from 282 prefecture-level cities in China from 2010 to 2022 to construct a difference-in-differences (DID) model, analyzing the impact effects and pathways of the CRCP on green economic efficiency (GEE) from a "local-neighborhood" dual-dimensional perspective. The research findings reveal that: (1) CRCP significantly enhances the GEE of pilot cities and passes multiple robustness tests.

New challenges in mitigating climate change: Digital teaching for the sustainable development and innovation.

The phenomenon of climate change has become a global challenge that affects human activities in many ways. Exploring the sustainability and innovativeness of digital education is an important reference for the further implementation of science and education strategies and positive effects on climate change mitigation. This study designed two questionnaires for basic and tertiary education to address variability in education and collected 523 samples for basic education and 412 samples for tertiary education respectively.
