“…Szigeti et al observed the decoupling relationship between ecological footprint and economic growth in around 89% of the nations across the world in 1999-2009 [28]. A similar decoupling was recognized by Fan et al who investigated energy consumption and economic growth in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau region from 2006 to 2016 [29]. Yu et al explored the decoupling of ammonia nitrogen with economic growth in China during 1978-2010 [30].…”

Rapid urbanization has led to a growing number of environmental challenges in large parts of China, where the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) urban agglomerations serve as a typical example. To evaluate the relationship between environmental sustainability gaps and urbanization in 26 cities of the YRD, this study revisited the environmental sustainability assessment (ESA) by combining the metrics of environmental footprints and planetary boundaries at the city level, and then integrated the footprint-boundary ESA framework into decoupling analysis. The results demonstrated considerable spatiotemporal heterogeneity in the environmental sustainability of water use, land use, carbon emissions, nitrogen emissions, phosphorus emissions and PM2.5 emissions across the YRD cities during the study period 2007–2017. Decoupling analysis revealed a positive sign that more than half of the 26 cities had achieved the decoupling of each category of environmental sustainability gaps from urbanization since 2014, especially for nitrogen and phosphorus emissions. On the basis of ESA and decoupling analysis, all the cities were categorized into six patterns, for which the optimal pathways towards sustainable development were discussed in depth. Our study will assist policy makers in formulating more tangible and differentiated policies to achieve decoupling between environmental sustainability gaps and urbanization.

“…According to the literature (Ezcurra & Rodríguezpose, 2009; Fan et al, 2020), the pattern of China's current economic development is the result of complex interactions among population, social, and ecological factors. However, there are notable variations at different scales or in different economic regions, and the pattern of balanced regional development in China has gradually formed a new feature, with the Bo Tai line as the boundary.…”

Intercity lighting data are an important resource for studying spatial and temporal patterns in regional urban development as an indicator of the intensity of urban social and economic activity. Understanding the evolutionary characteristics of the spatial pattern of regional economic development can support decision-making in regional economic coordination and sustainable development strategies. Based on a long time series of nighttime lighting data from 1992 to 2020, this study used the Theil index, Markoff transfer matrix, spatial autocorrelation, and spatial regression to analyze spatiotemporal evolutionary characteristics and drivers of urban economic development in China. The study found

“…Their results reveal the existence of un-directional causality that runs from energy use to income level, and the existence of bidirectional causality supported the conservation and the feedback hypothesis. More recently, Fan et al [33] use the log-mean Divisia index and Tapio decoupling index to analyse the decoupling degree and driving factors of energy consumption and economic development in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Omri [34] reviewed the literature on the nexus between economic growth and four types of energy consumption: total energy consumption, electricity consumption, nuclear energy consumption and the consumption of renewable energy sources.…”

The aim of this study is to examine the empirical cointegration, long-run and short-run dynamics and causal relationships between carbon emissions, energy consumption and economic growth in 14 Danube region countries over the period of 1990–2019. The autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds testing methodology was applied for each of the examined variables as a dependent variable. Limited by the length of the time series, we excluded two countries from the analysis and obtained valid results for the others for 26 of 36 ARDL models. The ARDL bounds reliably confirmed long-run cointegration between carbon emissions, energy consumption and economic growth in Austria, Czechia, Slovakia, and Slovenia. Economic growth and energy consumption have a significant impact on carbon emissions in the long-run in all of these four countries; in the short-run, the impact of economic growth is significant in Austria. Likewise, when examining cointegration between energy consumption, carbon emissions, and economic growth in the short-run, a significant contribution of CO2 emissions on energy consumptions for seven countries was found as a result of nine valid models. The results contribute to the information base essential for making responsible and informed decisions by policymakers and other stakeholders in individual countries. Moreover, they can serve as a platform for mutual cooperation and cohesion among countries in this region.
