Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Global environmental problems are becoming increasingly serious, with air pollution, water pollution, and climate warming restricting sustainable economic and social development, and it is urgent to effectively change the energy consumption structure and vigorously promote clean production technologies. In order to solve the environmental problems, governments of some countries continue to expand the scale of investment in environmental pollution control, promote the construction of urban environmental infrastructure, and improve the capacity of green innovation and greening coverage. They have made great contributions to solving global environmental problems by strengthening ecosystem restoration and source management of environmental pollution and improving the quantity and quality of environmental public service. The synergy of pollution reduction and carbon reduction is one of the direct means to solve the environmental pollution problem. Unlike developed countries that have basically solved the environmental pollution problem and then moved to the stage of strengthening carbon emission, many developing countries are facing two strategic tasks at the same time: achieving fundamental improvement of the ecological environment and carbon neutrality. Environmental public services and green innovation have made important contributions to pollution and carbon reduction, how can they play a better role in the new development stage? Can they help achieve the synergy of pollution reduction and carbon reduction? This Special Issue of the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH) focuses on environmental services and green innovation in pollution and carbon Reduction. New research papers are welcome to this issue. Other manuscript types accepted include methodological papers, position papers, brief reports, and commentaries.

There is an urgent need for countries worldwide to promote the green transformation of their economies and reduce environmental pollution. Based on China’s Green Credit Guidelines policy in 2012 and the data of Chinese listed companies from 2007 to 2021, we conducted an empirical test using the difference-in-differences method. The results showed that green finance policies inhibit technological innovation in heavily polluting enterprises, and the stronger the enterprise’s operating capacity, the weaker this inhibiting effect. The study also shows that bank loan, loan term, corporate management motivation, and business confidence have intermediation effects. Therefore, countries should improve green financial policies and promote technological innovation in heavily polluting enterprises in order to reduce environmental pollution and promote green growth.
