“…Compared with 2005, China's energy efficiency has improved because China experienced reform and opening‐up in the first two or three decades and explored the development concept of “Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets”. [ 76 ] However, China's energy efficiency remained between 0.5 and 0.7, although it had improved. However, the range was very small.…”

“The Belt and Road Initiative” (BRI) seeks to attain high‐quality development and sustainability. This study examines the green total factor energy efficiency (GTFEE) of 58 BRI countries from 2005 to 2019 and its influence factors using the Super slacked‐based measurement and Tobit models. The findings indicate that: 1) Singapore and the other seven countries have GTFEEs above 0.9, which is better than other countries; seven out of 58 countries have GTFEEs below 0.5. 2) Due to regional disparities, Southeast Asia, Central, and Eastern Europe have the greatest GTFEE, followed by South Asia, West Asia, and the Commonwealth of Independent States, and the lowest is in Central Asia, China, and Mongolia. 3) Compared to developing economies, developed economies have a higher GTFEE. 4) Between 2005 and 2019, the overall BRI energy efficiency dropped from 0.75 to 0.56. 5) According to Tobit results, for every 1% increase in economic development and energy structure, GTFEE increases by 0.08% and 0.31% points, respectively, and for every 1% increase in trade and land area, GTFEE decreases by 0.04 and 0.05, respectively. Therefore, BRI countries should strengthen international cooperation, develop advanced technologies, and increase the proportion of renewable energy utilization.

“…Access to funding is crucial for the implementation of renewable energy projects. The study (22,(40)(41)(42) argues that enhanced finance and investment accessibility empowers enterprises and people to allocate resources toward renewable energy technologies, including solar, wind, and hydroelectric power. In addition, implementing financial advancements like green bonds and venture capital financing has supported the expansion of renewable energy initiatives in several nations.…”

This study examines the nexus between urbanization (UR), gross capital formation (GCF), trade openness (TO), and renewable energy consumption (REC) to understand their interplay and implications for renewable energy adoption. Analyzing the data reveals a negative correlation between UR, GCF, TO, and REC, highlighting challenges in promoting renewable energy amidst urbanization, capital formation, and global trade integration. Policy interventions are crucial to address barriers hindering renewable energy uptake. Recommendations include incentivizing foreign direct investment, enhancing technology transfer, incentivizing clean energy investments, and promoting financial literacy. Integrated urban planning and alignment of capital formation policies with renewable energy goals are essential strategies to accelerate renewable energy adoption. This study offers valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders seeking to promote renewable energy development and sustainability.

“…This study demonstrates that background climate effects are the dominant factors in thermal environmental change and that mitigation measures can fundamentally reduce the adverse effects of thermal environmental change. The main expansion type in Shenyang in recent years has been LCZ 8, which is dominated by industrial land use, and it is important to reduce fossil fuel use, improve energy efficiency, and promote clean energy to reduce carbon emissions [55]- [57]. At the same time, a large amount of agricultural land LCZ D exists in Shenyang, and there is a need to focus on GHS emissions caused by soil management, fertilizer use, and rice cultivation in the land system [58], [59].…”

Global climate change is causing various negative impacts on urban ecosystems and energy systems. To effectively mitigate and adapt to these changes, it is important to understand the contributions of background climate and local effects to urban thermal environment variation. This study utilized the empirical orthogonal function (EOF) approach to deconstruct long-term MODIS land surface temperature (LST) datasets to obtain the main features of change in daytime and nighttime thermal environments. Local bivariate spatial autocorrelation analysis was used to explore the underlying causes of these changes. The main EOF modes explained 73.14% and 81.33% of daytime and nighttime thermal environment variation, respectively. The correlation coefficient between the time coefficient of the main modes and the average LST was > 0.99, reflecting the role of global effect caused by background climate change. The secondary EOF modes explained 12.51% and 4.12% of daytime and nighttime thermal environment variation, respectively, and were spatially correlated with changes in landscape thermal intensity, reflecting local effect caused by landscape change and anthropogenic heat emissions. In expansion and renewal areas, industrial zones and compact high-rise buildings had the most obvious warming effect on the daytime thermal environment, while mid-to-high-rise buildings had the most obvious warming effect on the nighttime thermal environment. The results of this study provide valuable insights into the mechanisms of background climate and local effects on the urban thermal environment, and provide a reference for formulating effective strategies for mitigating and adapting to change in urban areas, and for promoting sustainable development.
