Summary:

Examines subnational green transition trends across 30 Chinese provinces from 2013 to 2022, finding that all provinces improved their green and low-carbon scores—signaling an accelerated transition—and that leading provinces each exhibit distinct strengths rooted in local resource endowments, industrial structures, and policy priorities, demonstrating that regional pathways are diverse rather than following a one‑size‑fits‑all approach.
