“…Thirdly, the third sectors, companies and the public should be encouraged in air protection. Some empirical analyses have been shown that Environmental Non-Governmental Organizations (ENGOs) and companies have a positive impact on the improvement of environmental quality (Bao et al, 2020;Li et al, 2021). Local people can be mobilized and organized by ENGOs and companies to participate in environmental improvement activities , which will alleviate the pressure of governments on environmental protection.…”

Ambient air pollution is an important environmental problem that impacts the health and sustainable development of human beings. Many measures have been taken by governments to decrease air pollution. This paper focuses on whether government investment has a positive effect on air quality. Based on China’s environmental statistics from 2003 to 2020, the Spatiotemporal Weighted Regression Model is used to observe the spatiotemporal correlation between environmental governance investment and air quality in different provinces in China, finding that there is a negative time-space correlation between environmental governance investment and air quality. In addition, environmental governance investment will not immediately improve air quality, and air pollution has the characteristics of spatial overflow that the pollution between regions affect each other. Then, to further research governments how to deal with environmental protection, configuration analysis has been used, and finds out four high-performance paths for environmental governance of China’s provinces. At the end of this research, we put forward four suggestions for air protection. Firstly, government should formulate long-term air governance policies. Secondly, government environmental governance of air pollution should pay attention to the cooperativity of environmental governance between regions. Thirdly, the third sectors, companies and the public should be encouraged in air protection. Fourthly, government should build a whole-process air governance strategy.

“…6 For detailed information on the interviews, see Section 4, Empirical Analysis, below, and Online Appendix Part B. 7 Moreover, we included information on the number of environmental non-governmental organizations (ENGOs) per capita (Li et al, 2021). The data on ENGOs, however, is only available from the year 2000 onwards and thus might slightly distort our analysis.…”

Policy growth, implementation capacities, and the effect on policy performance

Democratic governments have constantly added new policies to existing policy stocks to confront societal, economic, and environmental challenges. This development has the potential to overburden public administrations in charge of policy implementation. To address this issue, we theorize and analyze how the relationship between the size of sectoral policy portfolios and implementation capacities affects sectoral policy performance. Our Bayesian analysis of the environmental policies of 21 Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development countries from 1976 to 2020 reveals a widening “gap” between the policies up for implementation and the implementation capacities available and shows that this gap negatively affects environmental policy performance. Qualitative insights from 47 in‐depth interviews with implementers validate these findings and shed light on the underlying causal processes. Our findings suggest that in advanced democracies transforming additional policies into effective problem‐solving crucially hinges on the deliberate expansion of implementation capacities.

“…As shown in Figs 4 and 5 , increasing ENGOs participation level and right space will encourage local government to reach an evolutionarily stable state more quickly. Previous studies have shown that local ENGOs play a crucial role in local environmental governance [ 48 ], they achieve environmental improvements through increased investment in environmental protection [ 49 ], but sufficient space for political opportunities is needed for them to mobilize and organize public participation in environmental governance [ 50 ]. Accordingly, to achieve better effects in the multiple governance of agricultural non-point source pollution, local government should encourage more ENGOs to participate in the governance of agricultural non-point source pollution as well as improve the right space of local ENGOs.…”

Effective prevention and control of agricultural non-point source pollution is a major challenge faced by the Chinese local government in the context of rural revitalization, and clarifying the game relationship between stakeholders in agricultural non-point source pollution control actions will help achieve multiple co-governance better. Accordingly, this paper discusses the interactive decision-making relationships between local government and livestock and poultry breeding enterprise (LPBE) under the participation of Environmental non-government organizations (ENGOs) and public, by constructing an evolutionary game model, as well as analyzing evolutionary cooperative stability strategies and realizing the simulation of evolution processes in different scenarios by MATLAB. The results show that government subsidy has an incentive effect on LPBE to adopt the purifying strategy, yet reduces the enthusiasm of local government for supervision. Improving the participation degree and right space of ENGOs is conducive to the realization of multiple co-governance models. Furthermore, the impact of public participation on multiple co-governance of agricultural non-point source pollution is related to the local government’s investigation rate and the public reporting fairness; strengthening the local government’s supervision capacity and improving the public reporting fairness can achieve better collaborative governance effects.
