“…By discerning the objectives and strategies of governance, the text of fiscal policy offers insights, while its quantitative evaluation enables an assessment of the anticipated outcomes of the policy at its inception. The study by Niu Bingcheng (2024) suggested that an increase in government environmental protection expenditure leads to a surge in green innovation, which in turn has a positive impact on national ESG performance [ 16 ].Therefore, to effectively address the "dual carbon" target of this formidable challenge, the central government must foster harmonious coordination among local governments and administrative bodies of all tiers. This collaboration is crucial for achieving a delicate equilibrium between the magnitude of carbon reduction, the pace of structural adjustments, and the sustainable affordability of the economy and society.…”

The prevailing environmental, social and governance (ESG) framework is currently based on micro‐ESG indicators. Research on national ESG is often limited to theory building and policy analysis. Based on previous scholars, this paper constructs a national ESG index framework consisting of 39 indices and updates the national ESG indices for 121 countries worldwide from 1990 to 2021 using the entropy weight method, aiming to provide a set of instrumental indices that capture the status and evolution of national ESG performance. The research findings are as follows: First, the Gini coefficient shows that the gap between national ESG performance has gradually widened over time. Second, the kernel density distribution suggests that global ESG performance is on the rise. High‐income countries are placing greater emphasis on ESG growth. Third, the results of the Markov transformation matrix suggest that there is a “club convergence” in ESG performance across countries.

Using a sample taken from Chinese A‐share listed companies from 2010 to 2020, we explore the effect of climate transition risk on corporate environment, social and governance (ESG) performance. Our finding shows that climate transition risk promotes corporate ESG performance. In addition, we discover that equity incentives play an important positive moderating role in the above relationship. Compared with positive media tone, the positive effect of climate transition risk on corporate ESG performance is more significant under the moderating effect of a negative media tone. Further analyses find that there exists a more prominent relationship between climate transition risk and corporate ESG performance in non‐state‐owned enterprises, enterprises with more female directors, and enterprises in highly market‐oriented regions. Our findings provide a reference to improve ESG practice to achieve corporate sustainable development and provide practical suggestions for better dealing with climate transition risk.
