Cities are commonly recognized as the immediate hinterland of ports and play a crucial role in fostering the sustainable development of ports. Therefore, it is imperative to investigate the influence of cities on ports. By employing panel data from 2001 to 2021 for both ports and cities in the Bohai Rim region, this study examines the spatial spillover effect of urban economy on port efficiency using the spatial error model (SEM). The findings show that urban economies have a significant spatial spillover effect on port efficiency, but this effect diminishes across different spatial matrices. In particular, the geographical matrix demonstrates a stronger spatial spillover effect of the urban economy on port efficiency. These research findings help to establish a collaborative mechanism for port-city development and provide useful insights for government management decision-making.

As the foundation and cornerstone of the digital economy, digital infrastructure construction is an indispensable engine for realizing China's energy-saving and emission-reduction, innovation-driven and low-carbon transformation and development. Investigating the carbon unlocking effect of digital infrastructure construction might hasten the achievement of the dual-carbon goal and the "win-win" scenario of environmental protection and economic growth. However, there is still a gap between whether and how digital infrastructure construction can break the carbon lock-in (CLI).

Improving water reuse efficiency from a recycling perspective is claimed to be a better way to alleviate global water scarcity and water pollution. This study opens the internal "black box" of China's water reuse system driven and decomposes water reuse system into water use, wastewater treatment and reclaimed water reuse stages, and selects input-output indicators based on SDG6. Then, it proposes a dynamic three-stage DEA model to assess the water reuse efficiency.

The global situation of carbon reduction is very severe, and the coupling of digital and green technology innovation is one of the most significant approaches to promoting regional low-carbon transformation. A coupling evaluation model is employed to assess the coupling index between digital technology innovation and green technology innovation in China's 30 provinces from 2011 to 2021. The STIRPAT model is used to examine the impact of the increasing coupling index on carbon emissions, as well as its spatial effects, and heterogeneity.

In light of the Chinese government's dual carbon goals, achieving cleaner production activities has become a central focus, with regional environmental collaborative governance, including the management of agricultural carbon reduction, emerging as a mainstream approach. This study examines 268 prefecture-level cities in China, measuring the carbon emission efficiency of city agriculture from 2001 to 2022. By integrating social network analysis and a modified gravity model, the study reveals the characteristics of the spatial association network of city agricultural carbon emission efficiency in China.
