China has made great progress in reducing carbon emissions in recent years. In 2020, the emission intensity (carbon emission per unit of gross domestic product) dropped by 48.4% compared to 2005, which surpassed the 40.0%–45.0% reduction target promised by the government [9]. However, there are still great challenges for China to …
The resultant annual savings were approximately $1,200,000 USD that year across the health system.

2010-2019 is the warmest decade on record. On the current path of carbon dioxide emissions, the global temperature is expected to increase by 3 to 5 degrees Celsius by the end of century. To avoid the worst of warming (maximum 1.5°C rise), the world will need to decrease fossil fuel production by roughly 6 per cent per year between 2020 and 2030.
Green credit is an important green financial policy tool to promote green development. However, research is needed to explore how green credit reduces carbon emissions, especially with respect to its dynamic spatial interactions and regional disparities. Based on a theoretical analysis, this paper empirically tests the carbon …
