“…In recent years, global warming and other climate change problems caused by excessive greenhouse gas emissions have become increasingly severe and the focus of international attention. However, surfeit CO2 emissions are the arch-criminal to the enhanced greenhouse effect [1]. Notably, Hebei province values environmental conservation as paramount, championing a development model predicated on green practices, lowcarbon methodologies, and circular economy principles.…”

Hebei province has implemented an ambitious optimization strategy to enhance its industrial landscape and promote sustainable economic growth. This paper examined the multifaceted approach adopted by Hebei province, focusing on high-tech integration, innovation, and addressing talent challenges. The foundation of Hebei’s strategy lies in transforming traditional industries, directing them towards high-value sectors such as new energy and intelligent manufacturing. This strategic pivot aligned with global trends and emphasized environmental preservation through a green, low-carbon economy. However, a pressing challenge surfaced in the form of high-tech talent scarcity. To address this obstacle, the paper introduced numerous suggestions. This research underscored the significance of region-specific strategies for driving industrial transformation. It contributed to the broader discourse on achieving balanced and sustainable economic development, highlighting the importance of nurturing a skilled workforce that can adapt to the demands of a rapidly evolving technological era. As Hebei Province advanced its optimization strategy, continued dedication to talent development and seamless integration of high-tech advancements would be pivotal in ensuring successful policy execution. This study encapsulated the essence of Hebei’s journey toward economic revitalization, emphasizing the need for forward-looking strategies that harmonized economic growth and environmental consciousness.

“…Besides, the interprovincial trade in our study is bidirectional. Net transfer can be calculated based on the MRIO model (Fan et al, 2019). Thus, we use this model to track the net transfer of virtual water and value-added embodied in trade between the YRB and other regions.…”

The Yellow River Basin (YRB) is facing a serious water shortage. How to effectively alleviate the water crisis and achieve sustainable development in the YRB has become a widespread concern. By using the interregional input–output tables of China in 2002, 2007, 2012 and 2017, we analysed the transfer of virtual water and value-added and the inequality embodied in trade between the YRB and other regions. Results demonstrated that: (1) for the YRB, the pressure on water resources was alleviated through the net inflow of virtual water after 2007. However, the economic situation deteriorated due to the net outflow of value-added in interregional trade after 2012. (2) There existed a serious inequality in virtual water consumption and economic benefits embodied in trade between the YRB and Beijing, Shanghai, etc., with regional inequality (RI) index exceeding 1. Meanwhile, agriculture faced the most serious inequality among all sectors in the YRB. Accordingly, the YRB should aim to optimise its industrial structure and improve water use efficiency to achieve a win-win situation for both economic development and net virtual water inflow. In addition, policymakers should take measures to flexibly adjust the trade scale between the YRB and other regions based on the RI index.

“…In recent years, with the attention of domestic and foreign scholars, the issue of embodied interregional carbon spatial transfer in China has become an important direction and hot spot for research in this field. In terms of research objects, there are mainly eight regions in China, the Yellow River basin, the Yangtze River basin, and energy-rich regions [26][27][28][29], and it is found that carbon emissions are mainly transferred from the central and western regions to the southeast coast, from undeveloped regions to developed regions [30]; there are also some specific province and city-level studies [31][32][33][34][35][36], which target specific provinces and carbon transfer studies are gradually increasing, mainly in heavy industrial developed or energy-rich provinces, such as Hebei and Shanxi [37,38]; while those for city level are less and mainly focus on Beijing, Tianjin, and Shanghai [39]. In terms of research perspectives, the amount of embodied carbon emissions and transfers are quantified from the perspectives of production, consumption, and value added [40][41][42][43][44].…”

Temporal and Spatial Divergence of Embodied Carbon Emissions Transfer and the Drivers—Evidence from China’s Domestic Trade

To understand the embodied carbon transfer in China’s domestic trade from 2007 to 2017 and its driving forces, we quantitatively measured the embodied carbon transfer among 30 provinces by using the Multi-regional input-output (MRIO) model, explored the temporal and spatial evolutionary features of the interprovincial embodied carbon emission transfer by using spatial autocorrelation, and further revealed its drivers using the Geographical Detector Model for the first time. We find that: (1) Based on the producer and consumer accounting principles, the amount of embodied carbon emissions of each province has increased, and there are huge differences. (2) The number of provinces with net embodied carbon emissions transfer is increasing, to 18 in 2017 and the target provinces are mostly energy-rich regions, such as Shanxi, Xinjiang, and Inner Mongolia, which have a severe “carbon leakage” phenomenon with developed coastal provinces. (3) The scale and spatial distribution of net carbon transfer out shows a characteristic of “high in the north and low in the south”, and the tendency of net transfer from the less developed provinces to the developed regions is becoming more and more obvious. (4) The global differences in the promoting factors of the net embodied carbon transfer are not prominent, but the differences at the local scale are significant, with energy intensity and environmental regulation playing an increasingly significant role. Therefore, it is recommended to strengthen low-carbon technology innovation and environmental regulation, increase the percentage of renewable energy consumption, accelerate the mobility of various resource factors, and improve energy utilization efficiency.
