“…Additionally, the Yangtze River Delta is a pioneer in green innovation as its green innovation efficiency has exhibited steady growth in recent years (Zeng et al, 2021). In 2019, the State Council in China approved a plan to establish the Yangtze River Delta as a green integrated development demonstration zone (Lv et al, 2022; Zeng et al, 2021). Finally, the study area has the highest quality human resources, and the best science and technology resources, which provide a complete sample framework for this study (Lv et al, 2022).…”

It is a crucial issue for enterprises to resolve environmental protection‐related institutional pressure along with the implementation of strict environmental policies and the enhancement of public environmental awareness. Thus, in this study, we surveyed 312 firms in the Yangtze River Delta of China to investigate the relationship among institutional pressure, green value co‐creation, and firm performance by applying a moderated mediation model. Results indicate that institutional pressure positively affects both green value co‐creation and firm performance, whereas green value co‐creation also has a positive effect on firm performance. Furthermore, green value co‐creation mediates the relationship between institutional pressure and firm performance. However, organizational inertia moderates the mediating effect of green value co‐creation on the correlation between institutional pressure and firm performance. These findings enhance our understanding of the relationship among institutional pressure, green value co‐creation, and firm performance, as well as providing implications for further research and practice.

Cities are areas featuring a concentrated population and economy and are major sources of carbon emissions (CEs). The spatial differences and influential factors of urban carbon emissions (UCEs) need to be examined to reduce CEs and achieve the target of carbon neutrality. This paper selected 264 cities at the prefecture level in China from 2008 to 2018 as research objects. Their UCEs were calculated by the CE coefficient, and the spatial differences in them were analyzed using exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA). The influential factors of UCEs were studied with Geodetector. The results are as follows: (1) The UCEs were increasing gradually. Cities with the highest CEs over the study period were located in the urban agglomerations of Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and Chengdu–Chongqing. (2) The UCEs exhibited certain global and local spatial autocorrelations. (3) The industrial structure was the dominant factor influencing UCEs.

For urban agglomerations that contain multiple interconnected cities, carbon pollution mitigation is particularly challenging due to the complex pollution transfer among environmental media and among cities. Insufficient attention has been paid to the city‐level metabolic processes of carbon in diverse physicochemical forms and their spatial interactions, impeding the identification and management of multi‐media carbon pollution from the integrated perspective of the whole urban agglomeration. Using the Greater Bay Area of China as a case, this study reveals the dynamic characteristics and spatial influencing factors of multi‐media carbon pollution covering 30 consecutive years based on substance flow analysis and a spatial econometric model. We find increasing necessity for controlling carbon pollution in the solid state, which reached 1890 Gg C/a in 2018 and was significantly higher than that in the gaseous (290 Gg C/a) and liquid (730 Gg C/a) state. Cross‐media transfer of carbon pollution made an increasingly substantial contribution to total carbon pollution from 14.6% to 20.7%, stressing the need for treatment and harmless disposal of sludge and the control of CH4 produced from waste landfilling, wastewater treatment, and livestock manure. Relocation of heavily polluting industries and variances at the level of environmental regulation between cities causes spatial transfer of carbon pollution, while the improvement of industrial structure and the advancement of pollution treatment technology have a positive demonstration effect for carbon pollution abatement of the neighboring cities. This study demonstrates the necessity of multi‐media and multi‐city integrities in carbon pollution mitigation within clustered cities.
