本研究は、中国の気候適応パイロット都市（CAPC）政策が都市の汚染削減と炭素排出に与える影響を、2011～2023年の273都市のパネルデータを用いて分析。差の差法により、CAPC政策が総合排出強度を0.284低下させることを発見。メカニズムとして、公衆の気候リスク認識の向上とグリーン技術革新による効果を確認。政策効果は高所得・財政力の強い都市や非資源依存都市、中央・西部地域で顕著。

This study evaluates the impact of China's Climate Adaptive Pilot Cities (CAPC) policy on urban pollution and carbon reduction using a staggered difference-in-differences approach on a panel of 273 Chinese cities from 2011 to 2023. The policy reduces aggregate emission intensity by 0.284, driven by heightened public climate risk perception and green technology innovation. Effects are stronger in high-income cities with robust fiscal capacity, non-resource-based cities, and central/western regions.

日本のGX文脈において
中国の気候適応政策が脱炭素と汚染削減に与える波及効果を実証。日本の適応策（例：気候変動適応法）と緩和策の連携を考える上で参考になるが、直接的な政策含意は限定的。日本の自治体における適応策の緩和効果を検証する研究の先例として位置づけられる。
In the global GX context
This paper provides empirical evidence on how adaptation-oriented policies can also yield mitigation co-benefits, relevant to global discussions on integrated climate action. The findings on fiscal capacity and regional heterogeneity offer insights for designing inclusive climate policies in developing countries. However, the Chinese institutional context limits direct transferability to other regions.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Mitigation and adaptation are recognized as essential pillars for urban sustainability; however, the degree to which adaptation oriented policies contribute to broader environmental improvements remains an unresolved empirical question. This study treats the Climate Adaptive Pilot Cities (CAPC) initiative as a quasi natural experiment to evaluate its integrated impacts on urban pollution and carbon reduction. Utilizing a multi period staggered difference in differences framework on a comprehensive panel of 273 Chinese municipalities from 2011 to 2023, we find that the CAPC initiative significantly improves environmental outcomes, evidenced by a 0.284 decline in aggregate emission intensity. Mechanism analysis reveals that this reduction is driven by informal regulation via heightened public climate risk perception and innovation compensation via green technology advancement. Specifically, the policy initiates a state to society vertical diffusion of environmental norms, where pilot cities function as social amplification stations to foster a broad based social consensus. Notably, policy efficacy depends on local conditions: significant abatement effects are concentrated in high income cities with robust fiscal capacity, non-resource based cities free from carbon lock in, and central or western regions with vast untapped marginal abatement potential. These findings underscore the necessity of dedicated fiscal support and structural reforms to bridge urban resilience with low carbon transitions to ensure inclusive environmental governance.
