“…China's most commonly used principle was regional equal per capita carbon emissions. 15,52,53 The Paris Agreement allows signatories to set their own emission reduction goals based on nationally determined contributions (NDCs), with allocation principles being essential for NDC goals. Currently, a single principle might not be able to solve the issue of the proper allocation of NDCs, and thus, many academics have proposed different allocation principles according to the "effort-sharing" principle.…”

“…First, the influence of climate change has a long duration, usually spanning several generations, and thus, the carbon emission rights allocation should balance the welfare and development rights between contemporary and future generations, referred to as “intergenerational carbon equity” in this paper. Second, climate change has strong externalities, requiring collaborative cooperation and negotiation, and involves allocating carbon emission rights among different countries/regions. − Thus, “regional carbon equity” is primarily concerned with the socioeconomic effect of different allocation standards among countries/regions. − Some studies have analyzed the heterogeneity status among countries/regions under a specific allocation assumption, − which was also classified into regional carbon equity in this paper. Therefore, intergenerational carbon equity is primarily concerned with the generational level, while regional carbon equity focuses on the national or regional level.…”

Carbon equity is the balance between carbon reduction responsibilities and development rights. The review of carbon equity in China can help it achieve carbon neutrality targets and provide valuable insights to other emerging countries. This study aimed to systematically sort, classify, compare, and prospect the research dimensions and measure methods for carbon equity. The research dimensions were first classified into intergenerational, regional, trade, and income carbon equity by literature analysis. Intergenerational carbon equity explores the balance of carbon emission rights among generations using integrated assessment models (IAM). Regional carbon equity analyzes the socioeconomic effect of regional carbon emission rights allocation by IAM or regional differences under a specific allocation assumption by the Theil index. Trade carbon equity studies the relationship between carbon emissions and economic benefit transfer embodied in inter-regional trade, which is more suitable for calculating by methods with comparable results, such as the optimized regional environmental inequality index. Income carbon equity investigates the carbon footprint heterogeneity among income groups by the carbon Gini coefficient. This paper further discusses potential research directions for each dimension. Notably, all research dimensions did not consider promoted strategies for carbon equity, which should be a priority for future studies.

“…Their research, employing the Moment Quantile Regression (MMQR) method, revealed that GI exerted a more substantial influence in reducing emissions within the highest emissions quantiles, while its impact was comparatively muted in the lowest quantiles. In a complementary study [ 21 ], observed the positive impact of GI on the environmental sustainability of BRICS countries from 1990 to 2014 [ 22 ]. further contributed to this discourse by utilizing the Pooled Mean Group (PMG) estimation method, suggesting the potential long-term benefits of GI for environmental sustainability [ 23 ].…”

“…Such actions can also support energy or carbon market efficiency by addressing decentralized low-carbon incentives. Historically, national-and city-level managers made recommendations and policies from sectoral and functional viewpoints, whereas relevant practitioners often made suggestions and took action from an industry perspective [42][43][44]. While all stakeholders' actions may assist cities in advancing toward an NZC future, complete solutions that incorporate various efforts will have a stronger beneficial influence on establishing a more sustainable, resilient, and inclusive city of the future [45].…”

As climate issues become more severe, the necessity and importance of urban transformation are being widely recognized, and the breadth and depth of research in various disciplines of social sciences to promote net-zero carbon (NZC) transformation in cities is increasing. In this study, between 2015 and 2021, 17 major cities and administrative regions in Korea from were taken as the target and based on the driving force-pressure-state-impact-response (DPSIR) model, a framework of 23 indicators of energy, environment, and economic systems (3ES) was constructed through the coupling coordination degree (CCD) assessment system. The development level, development speed, coordination index of subsystems, and coupled coordination relationship were analyzed successively. Finally, a gray correlation model was adopted to extract the 3ES of each city and their key driving factors. The findings indicate that: (1) There is a phenomenon of high coupling and low coordination within the subsystem, with the environmental factors layer being the most critical concern. (2) The overall coupling of the system has improved continuously since 2015, but it is still at the moderate coupling stage, owing to the long-term nature of system contradictions and processing lags. (3) The driving causes of urban transformation have shifted from economic to environmental restrictions, resulting in noticeable regional differences later in the study period and a rise in the necessity for hierarchical zoning governance. Finally, based on the perspective of restricted subsystems and the consolidation of the 3ES coordination relationship, this study demonstrates the significant relationship between environmental protection, energy transition, and economic development, thus enriching the associated literature at the periphery. It also provides a theoretical foundation for investigating the transition path of NZC cities, thus enhancing research in this area.
