“…Consequently, it is critical to comprehend consumers' willingness to participate in an industry's green operations. Specifically, in China, household (consumer) demand has been shown to have a substantial impact on industrial carbon emissions [73][74][75][76][77]. Logistics operations are estimated to account for 8% of worldwide CO 2 emissions [78].…”

The environmental footprint of courier, express, and parcel (CEP) logistics is significant and growing, owing to increased e-commerce. Consumer willingness to participate in the green logistics of CEPs, however, has been understudied. This study addresses this knowledge gap by surveying 155 Chinese consumers about their willingness to participate in CEP green logistics. Additionally, this research identifies some technical issues with previous survey research. Three main factors were extracted after the data were tested for reliability and validity using exploratory factor analysis with principal axis factor extraction and confirmatory factor analysis with diagonally weighted least squares. Consumer willingness is positively correlated with economic (8 items), operational (3 items), and social (3 items) factors, with a statistical significance of p < 0.001. Of all the factors, the strongest correlation, 0.67 (95% CI = 0.57, 0.75; p < 0.001; N = 155), exists between economic factors and consumer willingness. The results of a multinomial logistic regression analysis suggest that all consumers are highly unlikely to participate in economic factors, while they are highly likely to positively commit to operational and social factors. Therefore, it is recommended that the government provides monetary incentives to CEP companies to adopt green logistics, such as tax reductions and subsidies, to reduce the costs of green logistics. Meanwhile, the CEP industry could provide some direct and indirect incentives to consumers to re-use, recycle, and share materials, and to spend time learning about express enterprises’ green logistics, to increase consumer participation in economic factors.

The role of financial inclusion along with environment related technological innovation has been ignored by previous studies, especially, in terms of trade‐adjusted carbon emissions. Unlike previous studies, this study aims to test the role of financial inclusion and eco‐innovation on trade‐adjusted carbon emissions or consumption‐based carbon emissions for a group of seven economies over the period 2004–2019. Further, this study also tests the role of exports, imports and gross domestic product. We develop an index using principal component analysis to measure financial inclusion. The study utilizes the novel method of moment quantile regression to obtain the results. The results indicate that eco‐innovation reduces consumption‐based carbon emissions at 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th quantiles, respectively. Moreover, financial inclusion and exports also reduce emissions at 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th quantiles. In contrast, gross domestic product and imports cause trade‐adjusted emissions to increase. Moreover, a bidirectional link is established between all variables except for financial inclusion. Finally, this study provides relevant policy implications for trade, eco‐innovation, and financial inclusion in the group of seven economies for sustainable trade development. This paper further provide relevant environmental policy implications.

“…Final demand is ultimately responsible for the industrial emissions 15 ; targeting final demand's carbon consumption is often considered as a just and efficient measure to reduce emissions from industrial production 16 . Similarly, the considering of final embodied emissions from intermediate carbon consumption can help in reducing the carbon emissions from the industrial consumption.…”
