Under the new development paradigm, the digital economy has emerged as a crucial driver of China’s green evelopment. Utilizing a quasi-natural experiment of the “Broadband China” strategy, this paper examines its impact on carbon productivity through a multi-period difference-in-differences model, a moderating effect model, and a spatial panel model. The findings indicate that the policy significantly enhances carbon productivity. As population size ncreases, the policy impact initially flattens, then rises, and eventually decreases before flattening again.

Agriculture is the most vulnerable sector to climate change, e.g., temperatures or rainfall may significantly affect the crop yields, also leading the proliferation of pathogens and hence pests and diseases. The total economic losses from weather-and climate-related have caused damages reaching nearly 487 billion of euros in EEA member countries since 1980, and just 3% of all events are responsible for 60% of economic losses. Extreme weather events such as heavy precipitation, flood, drought, frost, heat, and strong wind are more and more frequent, intense, long-lasting, and they are the major drivers of agricultural losses

Tourism is a major driver of global economic growth but has long been criticized for its environmental and social drawbacks.
