Abstract Green building development plays an important role in improving the efficiency of carbon reduction in the construction industry and accelerating the construction industry to achieve carbon neutrality goals. Based on the dual perspective of "industrial upgrading and space overflow", this paper integrates the topic of "green building development to promote carbon neutrality in the construction industry" into the cross-study of industrial economics and spatial economics Using China's provincial panel data from 2008 to 2019, use the intermediary adjustment model to prove how green building development builds an internal green supply and demand system in the industry to promote the efficiency of carbon emission reduction in the construction industryand use the space panel Dubin model to discuss the green building Development affects the spatial mechanism and attenuation boundary of the construction industry's carbon emission reduction efficiency. The study found that green building development has a positive effect on the efficiency of carbon reduction in the construction industry. And there is a clear "center-peripheral pattern" between green building development and the efficiency of carbon reduction in the construction industry. At the same time, the impact of green building development on the efficiency of carbon emission reduction in the construction industry exists "industry-space" two-dimensional mechanism, from the industrial perspective, green building development can activate the construction market form a green supply and demand system by promoting the green upgrading of supporting industries and stimulating the green consumption of the market, and finally realize the overall green upgrading of the construction industry. from the spatial level, the development of regional green buildings forms a new growth pole and enhances the carbon emission reduction efficiency of the construction industry in the region through polarization effect, inhibits the carbon emission reduction efficiency of the construction industry in neighboring areas, and this spatial polarization effect also shows obvious spatial attenuation characteristics. In the 1,000 km, rangethe spillover effect is higher, while attenuation occurs outside the 1,000 km range. The results provide a theoretical basis and empirical evidence for the construction industry to improve the efficiency of carbon reduction and achieve industrial carbon neutrality.

This paper presents the reviews of studies with regards to the development of Green Building Index- Residential New Construction (GBI-RNC). GBI-RNC is considered since the development of Residential Construction is expected to increase every year since Malaysia is considered as a developing country. The Carbon Emission of Residential Construction is evident thus one of the ways to control and commit to Carbon Emission reduction is by promoting Sustainable Development. Even though GBI-RNC has been introduced to the industry since 2009, participation increased just slightly by the year and to reach a rating more than ‘Certified’ are low. Furthermore, a national green rating system is proposed by JKR, to assist with all residential government projects. Therefore, this paper shall present the suggested modifications that should be made to GBI-RNC to improve its elements and gain more influence to maintain as the most used green rating system for residential construction.

The carbon emission problem in China needs to be solved urgently. Industrial symbiosis, as an effective means to improve resource efficiency, can better alleviate the carbon emission problem. Under such a circumstance, this paper regards an industrial symbiosis system as a collection of producers, consumers and decomposers, and analyzes the strategic selections and behavioral characteristics of their carbon emission reduction activities through a tripartite evolutionary game model, and then the effects of related parameters on the evolutionary stable strategies of stakeholders are discussed. The results demonstrate that: (1) the regular return and the rate of return determine the ability of stakeholders to undertake carbon reduction activities; (2) the initial willingness of stakeholders to participate will affect the evolutionary speed of the strategies; (3) a high opportunity cost reduces the inertia of stakeholders to carry out carbon emission reductions; (4) producers, consumers and decomposers can avoid “free rides” by signing agreements or adopting punitive measures.

Considerable Concern

As a major cause of global warming, carbon emissions have become a considerable concern in society. In this paper, the authors examine logistics network design considering the carbon emission reduction preferences of decision-makers. To investigate the effects of carbon reduction preferences on carbon emissions, the authors first develop two optimization models with the objectives of optimizing carbon emissions and operation costs, respectively. Subsequently, the authors analyze the effects of the emission reduction preferences of decision-makers on logistics network design at both the strategic and tactical levels. Moreover, the authors propose coordination mechanisms for carbon emissions and operation costs in logistics network design. The results indicate that emission reduction preferences significantly affect carbon emissions and operation costs in logistics network design, especially at the strategic level.

Reduction Effect

The carbon reduction effect of technological innovation in the transportation industry is conducive to China’s anticipated realization of carbon neutrality. Therefore, we evaluated carbon emission reduction effect of technological innovation in the transportation industry in China. Based on the panel data of 30 sample provinces in China (excluding Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Tibet) from 2012 to 2018, using the Moran’I index and Getis-Ord Gi index, this paper analyzes the evolutionary trend and spatial autocorrelation of carbon emission in the transportation industry, and analyzes the impact of technological innovation on carbon emission levels of the transportation industry and its spatiotemporal differences by using the geographical and temporal weighted regression (GTWR) model by using ArcGIS 10.4 software. The conclusions are as follows: The carbon emission level of China’s transportation industry generally has been rising steadily, showing a spatial distribution pattern of high emissions in the east and low emissions in the west. The cold spots are concentrated in the western region, and the hot spots are situated in the central and eastern regions. Technological innovation has a carbon reduction effect on the transportation industry in the eastern and north-eastern regions, while the effect in other regions is not obvious. However, there is an obvious “inverted U-shaped” relationship between technological innovation and the transportation industry’s carbon emissions. The technological innovation in the transportation industry will have a significant carbon reduction effect after breaking through the technical pain points. This carbon reduction effect has a higher effect on the western region than on the eastern region. In addition, the economic development level, the fiscal expenditure proportion of the transportation industry, the higher education level, and the proportion of fixed asset investment in the transportation industry have played a positive role in reducing carbon in the transportation industry, but the spatial heterogeneity of this carbon reduction effect is relatively strong. Therefore, during the “14th Five-Year Plan” development period in China, it is necessary to continuously promote the low-carbon development of the transportation industry with technological innovation, while highlighting the differentiated carbon reduction governance, and consolidating the role of talents and fiscal support.

The Impact

As the development of a green and low-carbon economy has received great attention from governments around the world, carbon peaking and carbon neutrality have become important issues raised by China. As a major energy consuming country, government has actively formulated and implemented various carbon emission reduction policies in order to curb carbon emissions. Whether these policies achieve economic growth in the process of energy conservation and emission reduction, and promote China’s green and low-carbon development transition is the focus of this paper. This paper selects data from 30 provinces in China from 2010 to 2019, establishes a model, and empirically analysis the impact of carbon emission reduction policy tools on economic growth. The results show that there is a significant negative correlation between mandatory carbon emission reduction policies and economic growth, while market-based carbon emission reduction policies enhance the economic strength of the region. In addition, this paper empirically tests that after the establishment of the carbon market in 2013, market-based carbon emission reduction policies have significantly promoted economic growth, and the impact of carbon emission reduction policies on economic growth have regional heterogeneity.

Regional Income Inequality

Global income inequality is widening and carbon emissions remain high. So, reducing carbon emissions and income gap are urgent challenges. The purpose of this paper is to analysis how carbon emission efficiency influences the region income inequality. The improvement of carbon emission reduction efficiency has widened the regional income inequality with the flow of high-tech labor as an intermediary variable in China. Methods used in this article are mediating effect model and DEA method. This paper constructs a disposable income model of income and health costs, where health costs are a function of carbon reduction. If income is fixed, then the expectations of disposable income will change as the level of carbon emission reduction changes. This study finds that the disposable income expectations of high-income areas increases, while the disposable income expectations of lower-income areas decrease with the improvement of carbon emission reduction efficiency. High-income regions attract high-income labor from other regions, resulting in the widening of regional income inequality under the constraint of high cost of living. This result is verified by the data of China from 2007 to 2017. The regression model with Geordie coefficient as the dependent variable, carbon emission reduction efficiency as the core independent variable, gravitation of high-tech talent as the mediator variable, and urbanization rate, educational level, social security coverage, and highway and railway traffic mileage as control variables not only verifies the above results but also finds that high-tech talents’ flow is not the only intermediary between carbon emission reduction efficiency and regional income inequality. This paper finds that when the carbon emission reduction efficiency increases by one unit, the income inequality gap of 25 provinces increases by 0.0202 units, provinces with high carbon emission reduction efficiency increases by 0.107 units, and provinces with medium carbon emission reduction efficiency increases by 0.026 units. However, the income inequality gap of provinces with low carbon emission reduction efficiency decreases by 0.0390 units. The carbon emission reduction efficiency of the high and medium carbon emission reduction efficiency groups is proportional to the income inequality, while the low carbon emission reduction efficiency group is the opposite, when the carbon emission reduction efficiency is grouped into high efficiency group, medium efficiency group, and low efficiency group. The reason for this result is that the high carbon emission reduction efficiency of the former attracts high-income high-tech talent, while the latter's narrowing regional income inequality benefits from the reduction costs of health and the government’s ecological compensation. The effective measures to narrow the income inequality are to implement carbon emission reduction policy, industrial policy, education investment policy, and public service policy, according to the above findings.
