“…In Figure 3b, Specific analysis of the indicator layer reveals that material input contains indicators including total public library collections (10,000 Copies), the number of Internet users (10,000 households), and internal expenditure on R&D expenses of industrial enterprises (CNY 100 million). Internal expenditure on R&D expenses of industrial enterprises (CNY 100 million) is one of them, and it directly affects green innovation; the more money a company invests in R&D, the more probable it is to produce green innovation [82]. The first two indicators can indirectly create a supportive atmosphere for green innovation, which can have an influence on green innovation even though they do not directly affect it in cities [83,84].…”

Urban green innovation plays a crucial role in achieving sustainable urban economic development, and urban economic resilience is an important manifestation of urban economic development. This prese nt study aims to investigate how green innovation contributes to urban economies’ resilience, which is essential for long-term urban agglomeration expansion and sustainable economic development. To decrease subjectivity and achieve comprehensive evaluation, this study first constructs an index system for evaluating green innovation capability on urban economic resilience, which contains 21 indicators in three areas, including innovation input, innovation output, and green innovation foundation, and the performs a scientific evaluation using the TOPSIS method. On this basis, using the Super-SBM model, the green innovation efficiency value of cities in the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) is calculated. Finally, ArcGIS 10.8 software is used to classify the economic resilience of the 26 cities in the YRD city cluster and analyze the spatial layout characteristics of urban economic resilience. The results show that: (1) the decision evaluation model used in this study is stable and effective, and it can effectively address the issues of subjective assessment processes and information redundancy; (2) green innovation capacity has a positive contribution to urban economic resilience, and its contribution is more significant for cities with strong economic strength; and (3) the green innovation capacity of the YRD city cluster is unevenly distributed, with Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Nanjing having high levels of green innovation capacity and strong urban economic resilience, thus forming the core area of cities radiating outward, showing a “core-edge” spatially. Finally, suggestions for improving the overall economic resilience of urban agglomerations are provided.

“…With the development of low-carbon economy, the government will set a series of supporting measures, such as green finance and green tax, to encourage enterprises to carry out emission reduction activities. The government's support and rewards will stimulate enterprises' green technological innovation motivation, and also improve the green innovation efficiency of enterprises (Xu et al, 2022). The realization of low carbon economy can improve the production technology requirements of BTH regional enterprises, make their existing production equipment and process level achieve greater improvement, and promote the sustainable development of enterprise economy.…”

IntroductionAt present, the rapid growth of social and economic development has also brought great challenges to the development of regional resources and environment. With the deepening of the concept of sustainable development, the coordinated development of regional resources, environment and economic growth has attracted more and more attention. The coordinated development of resources, environment and economic growth is not only the engine of industrial growth, but also the accelerator to promote industrial transfer and optimal allocation of resources, which has injected a strong impetus into social development. However, with the continuous upgrading of the industrial structure, environmental pollution, unbalanced economic development, resource shortage and other problems have gradually emerged in various important development areas.MethodsIn order to effectively solve this dilemma, this paper takes the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region (BTH) as an example, based on the analysis of the current situation of the economic and environmental development of BTH region and the influencing factors, combined with the background of low-carbon economy (LCE), effectively studies the coordinated development of its resources, environment and economic growth. In order to verify the effectiveness of low-carbon economic development, this paper, based on the actual development data of BTH region, tests the three dimensions of economic benefit index, environmental benefit index and emission reduction efficiency index.ResultsThe results show that the average environmental benefit index of 13 cities in the BTH region after the implementation of the target is about 0.457. The average benefit index before the implementation of the target was about 0.449.DiscussionFrom the final results of the test, it can be seen that the development of low-carbon economy has strong feasibility for promoting the coordinated development of regional resources, environment and economic growth.

Building a green silk road is an important path toward implementation of the UN 2030 sustainable development goals. The purpose of the paper is to discuss the sustainable development goals of the “Belt and Road” Initiative (BRI) by evaluating the relationship between the BRI and enterprise green innovation. Employing the technology–organization–environment (TOE) framework to build a theoretical model based on the micro data of Chinese manufacturing enterprises from 2011 to 2018, and using the difference-in-differences method, this paper analyzes the BRI’s influence on the green innovation of enterprises. The research results indicate that the BRI has significantly enhanced the level of green innovation in Chinese manufacturing enterprises. This effect is still robust after the analysis of PSM-DID excluding the interference of policies in the same period and heterogeneity analysis. The results of the mechanism analysis show that the percentage of R&D employees, policy support and R&D expenditure can enhance the positive effects of the BRI’s influence on enterprise green innovation. The marginal contribution of this paper is to identify the causal relationship between the BRI and green innovation, add a new micro perspective to the research on the relationship between the BRI and sustainable development, and reveal a new micro mechanism.
