A Study on the Structure and Generation Paths of Government Coordinated Governance for Pollution Reduction and Carbon Emis-sion Reduction under the"Dual Carbon"Target—A Case Study of Beijing
During the"14th Five-Year Plan"period,China's"dual carbon"target has entered a new phase of coordinated governance for pollution reduction and carbon reduction.In this process,the government's role in coordinated planning and management is particularly crucial.This paper selects the governance data on pollution and carbon reduction in Beijing from 2020 to 2023.It studies the structural characteristics of the relationship networks formed by vertical administrative entities and horizontal administrative organs through social network analysis.Meanwhile,it constructs an analytical framework for policy implementation of"coor-dinated entities-coordinated processes-coordinated environment",applying fuzzy set qualitative compara-tive analysis to explore the pathways for the government so as to achieve effective coordinated governance in pollution and carbon reduction.The results show that:(1)The coordination structure of vertical administra-tive entities mainly features"top-down"macro guidance and"bottom-up"policy coordination among which the district people's governments play a pivotal role.(2)A few departments within the horizontal administra-tive organs form core cooperative relationships,with Beijing Municipal Ecology and Environment Bureau and Beijing Municipal Commission of Development and Reform playing central roles in the coordinated gover-nance of pollution and carbon reduction.(3)There are three main pathways for the government's coordi-nated governance,namely,the"benchmark competition"assessment pathway,the"direct competition"con-test pathway,and the high-quality development pathway.High attention allocation is a common condition for all three pathways.
