“…Therefore, Nanjing's future development is likely to fall between the GDS and GRS, with peak carbon emissions expected to be between 2.78 and 2.95 million tons by 2025. Other prediction studies support this trend, such as Yang et al [34], who predicted that Nanjing could achieve peak carbon emissions of about 200 million tons by 2025, and Yue et al [35], who predicted that Nanjing could reach peak carbon emissions by 2030.…”

As a designated national low-carbon pilot city, Nanjing faces the challenge of reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions while experiencing rapid economic growth. This study developed a localized Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning System (LEAP) model specifically for Nanjing and constructed four different development scenarios. By utilizing the Log Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) decomposition, the Tapio decoupling elasticity coefficient, and comparing the emission reduction effects of individual measures and their cross-elasticity of carbon reduction, this study investigated the key factors and their carbon reduction path characteristics in Nanjing toward its carbon peak target by 2030. The results indicate that: (i) Nanjing could reach its peak carbon target of about 3.48 million tons by 2025 if carbon reduction measures are strengthened; (ii) The main elements influencing Nanjing’s carbon peak include controlling industrial energy consumption, restructuring the industry, promoting the construction of a new power system, and developing green transportation; (iii) Controlling industrial energy consumption and changing industrial structure have a greater impact on reducing carbon emissions than other measures, and both have a synergistic effect. Therefore, Nanjing should prioritize these two strategies as the most effective methods to reduce carbon emissions. Additionally, to slow down the growth of urban carbon emissions, policies aimed at reducing the energy intensity and carbon intensity of energy consumption should be formulated. For instance, the integration and innovation of green industries within the city region, such as new energy vehicles, new energy materials, and big data, should be accelerated, and the proportion of clean energy consumption in urban areas should be increased. The LEAP (Nanjing) model has successfully explored Nanjing’s low-carbon pathway and provided policy guidance for the optimal transformation of industrial cities and early carbon peaking.

“…19 However, on sustainable and low-carbon development concepts, norms and methodologies, a consensus has not yet been reached. Moreover, there are still significant gaps to be filled in the long-term mechanism of inter-regional sustainable and low-carbon development, 20 and the scope of the pilot project is narrow. 21 Particularly, the study of inter-regional horizontal sustainable and low-carbon development within urban agglomerations is particularly limited in terms of both practical viability and theoretical investigation.…”

The Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei urban agglomeration (BTHUA) has experienced ecological and environmental issues due to its rapid development and expansion, including air and water pollution. Examining inter-regional plans for sustainable and low-carbon sustainable development is crucial and practical for achieving ecological balance among regions and fostering the BTHUA’s commitment to collaborative innovation. This study applies the three-stage data envelopment analysis (DEA) model to 13 cities in the BTHUA between 2007 and 2020 to compute the sustainable and low-carbon development efficiency (SLE) and index, and then constructs a fundamental model of urban agglomeration growth. In this study, MATLAB software was used to predict the general evolution trend and development curve for the BTHUA’s low-carbon and green economy development. The results of the study indicate (1) the efficiency of sustainable and low-carbon development in the BTHUA has a wave-like ascending tendency, generating an overall development pattern that is centred on core cities and eventually descends toward the periphery. (2) In recent years, coordination between sustainable and low-carbon development indices and development levels within BTHUA has largely improved; however, a changing nonlinear relationship exists between the sustainable and low-carbon efficiency index and development levels. (3) The BTHUA’s sustainable and low-carbon development curve displays a tendency that is consistent with the function model’s anticipated evolution trend.

“…If carbon surplus regions more actively reduce their carbon emissions, then carbon deficit regions can enjoy free spillover positive ecological externalities. However, carbon surplus regions would pay the cost of protecting carbon sinks or giving up development opportunities [9,10]. It is the game dilemma of carbon surplus and carbon deficit regions regarding carbon emission reduction and ecological conservation compensation that makes interregional ecological conservation deviate from the optimal state.…”

Carbon offset policies are an effective means of coordinating regional ecological conservation, promoting environmentally friendly economic development, and achieving carbon neutrality; they are being gradually implemented in all regions of China. This study analyzed the decision-making behavior of local governments before and after the introduction of incentive and restraint mechanisms. To this end, it constructed a dynamic evolutionary game model for local governments with a carbon surplus and those with a carbon deficit. The results indicate that it is difficult to implement carbon offset policies between regions without the intervention of the central government. They also show that the effects of different incentive and restraint mechanisms vary significantly. Specifically, a mechanism that targets both carbon surplus and carbon deficit local governments and a unilateral mechanism that targets only carbon deficit local governments are shown to be effective. Finally, the results indicate that the implementation costs of incentive and restraint mechanisms differ, and their implementation intensity affects the time required for carbon offset policies to be rolled out in all regions. Based on these findings, we propose policy recommendations for promoting the implementation of carbon offset policies in all regions of China and alleviating carbon emission pressure.
