The Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB) is one of four major national development strategies in China, accomplishing the balance between protection and development of YREB has long-term and comprehensive significance to the implementation of China’s green development concept. This paper aims to have a more comprehensive understanding of the green development level of 126 cities in YREB from 2008 to 2017 by constructing an innovative evaluation system of “capacity level-coordination level-comprehensive level”. And on this basis, further analysis is carried out to check whether there is spatial effect in green development by means of the Markov chain. The main conclusions are as follows: (1) Urban green development comprehensive level in YREB is characterized by convergence, and the convergence phenomenon is more prominent in high-level cities; (2) In general, the distribution of high-value cities is decreasing from east to west; (3) The transition of club convergence is significantly influenced by neighbor background. Overall, the YREB is undergoing a transformation to step into the greener development path, still needs to take a series of synergistic guidance strategies to solve the problem of unbalanced regional development.

“…In recent years, the intensifcation of the greenhouse efect has placed enormous pressure on the reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the construction industry, which is one of the seven sectors that predominantly contribute to global GHG emissions; the construction industry consumes approximately 40% of the total energy use, and it contributes up to 30% of all GHG emissions annually (Change, 2007). Moreover, the emissions from the construction industry are highly correlated with the emissions from other industries (Du et al, 2018). The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) declared that over the next 20 years, GHG emissions will more than double relative to the present situation due to the rapid increase in urbanization and the inefciencies of existing building practices unless actions are taken to mitigate emissions (Sbci, 2009).…”

The largest industry in America is construction, which accounts for 10% of jobs and 10% of the GNP. It has a high labor intensity, a low technology intensity, and has had mediocre profitability and competitiveness over the past 20 years. The purpose of the study is to look at the factors that contribute to temperature, humidity, and CO2 variations during building construction and how they affect such buildings.

“…For example, Yu et al(2018)]studied the convergence of carbon emissions in 24 industrial sectors in China from 2005 to 2015. Specifically, different scholars have studied the characteristics of carbon emission convergence from manufacturing (Liu et al,2022), transportation (Bai et al,2019), construction industry (Du et al,2018), finance (Wang and Gong,2020) and other industries. In order to achieve the overall goal of carbon emission reduction, we turn to the research on the convergence of regional carbon emissions and analyze and demonstrate the convergence characteristics of carbon dioxide intensity in 30 provinces in China (Hao et al 2015;Zhao et al(2015).…”

Climate change is an epochal problem that all countries in the world need to face and solve together. Actively exploring the path of carbon emission reduction is an inevitable choice to deal with climate change. Based on measuring the carbon emissions of China's rural residents' living consumption from 2000 to 2019, this study further adopts the Dagum Gini coefficient, Kernel density estimation, Markov chain, σ Convergence, and β Convergence Conduct empirical analysis on the measurement results. It is found that the differences in carbon emissions of rural residents' living consumption in the whole country, low, middle-low and middle-high level regions are all significantly decreasing, and the regional differences are the main source of the overall differences. There are no very high or very low carbon emissions of rural residents' living consumption in the middle-low level areas, while there is obvious two-stage differentiation in the middle-high level areas. There is instability in the carbon emissions of rural residents' living consumption, which can be transferred downward toward the ideal state, and there is also the risk of increasing carbon emissions and transferring upward; The whole country and the four regions showed typical σ Convergence and β Convergence characteristics. On this basis, the paper puts forward policy recommendations to reduce the spatial imbalance of carbon emissions from rural residents' living consumption. It provides a factual basis for reducing the carbon emissions of rural residents' living consumption at the current and future stages and provides a new scheme for sustainable development based on the concept of a community of shared future for mankind.
