本研究は、2011年から2021年の中国276都市のパネルデータを用いて、主要デジタル技術（KDT）が汚染削減と炭素削減（PRCM）の相乗効果に与える影響を分析。KDTはPRCM相乗効果を有意に向上させ、気候移行リスクはその効果を増幅する一方、物理的リスクの調整効果は限定的である。メカニズム分析では「源流防止-プロセス制御-末端遮断」の連鎖経路が確認され、空間効果分析ではKDTの波及効果が隣接地域のPRCMに負の影響を与えることが示された。

Using panel data from 276 Chinese cities (2011-2021), this study examines how key digital technologies (KDT) affect pollution reduction and carbon mitigation (PRCM) synergy. KDT significantly enhances PRCM synergy, with climate transition risks amplifying the effect while physical risks show limited moderation. Mechanism analysis reveals a chain pathway of 'source prevention-process control-end-stage blocking.' Spatial analysis indicates negative spillovers to adjacent regions, suggesting widening inter-regional disparities in environmental governance.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Key digital technology (KDT) serves as a critical technological foundation for advancing pollution reduction and carbon mitigation (PRCM), while increasingly reshaping regional environmental governance capacity. However, the institutional fluctuations and governance uncertainties induced by intensifying climate risks have introduced both challenges and opportunities for the environmental effectiveness of KDT. Drawing on panel data from 276 prefecture‐level cities in China between 2011 and 2021, this study investigates the impact of KDT on PRCM synergy across heterogeneous regional contexts. The findings reveal that KDT significantly enhances the degree of PRCM synergy, highlighting its dual environmental benefits. Moreover, climate risks play differentiated moderating roles in this process. Specifically, climate transition risks amplify the PRCM effect of KDT, reflecting the greater marginal adaptability of technological governance under institutional risk scenarios. In contrast, the overall moderating role of climate physical risks is limited. Heterogeneity analysis suggests that under transition risks, KDT possesses compensatory capacities to address institutional uncertainty, whereas under physical risks, its effectiveness is conditioned by regional structural characteristics and governance capacity. Mechanism analysis further demonstrates that KDT influences PRCM synergy through a chain pathway encompassing “source prevention–process control–end‐stage blocking.” Spatial effect analysis indicates a siphon effect of KDT, with significant negative spillovers on the PRCM synergy of adjacent regions, implying the risk of widening inter‐regional disparities in environmental governance outcomes.
