Since the Industrial Revolution, human activities have raised atmospheric CO2 concentrations, causing global warming and making climate change a shared global challenge. This program by the Chinese Academy of Sciences promotes strategic res…

Langang Feng, J K Hu, Minmin Huang +2

Using China’s Supply Chain Innovation and Application Pilot Policy as a quasi-natural experiment with a city-year panel of 279 cities (2005–2021), the study finds that supply chain digitalization reduces local urban pollutants and CO2 emiss…

Chi FAN

This paper analyzes how digital technologies shape global green trade through a three-dimensional framework of production, distribution, and market/governance. It argues that AI, blockchain, and IoT act as catalysts for green innovation and…

Tan Xianchun, Gu Baihe, Wang Yi

This paper reviews the evolution of multilateral climate governance from the Kyoto Protocol to the Paris Agreement, highlighting persistent difficulties. It notes the 2017 U.S. withdrawal as a setback and discusses the role of the world's l…
