In September 2020, China announced its
ambitious goal of "Carbon Peaking and
Neutrality" within 40 years at the 75th
United Nations General Assembly, known
as the "Dual Carbon" targets. This
declaration marks a significant step in
China's commitment to addressing global
climate change and fostering an allencompassing
green transformation of its
economy and society. Against this
backdrop, the circular economy (CE) has
been identified as a pivotal strategy for
realizing these carbon goals. The circular
economy aims to promote a
comprehensive cycle of production,
consumption, and social development to
achieve both environmental protection
and economic growth. Since the initiation
of China's Circular Economy
Demonstration City policy in 2013, 101
regions (including 62 cities) have joined
the initiative. The research will address
questions about the impact of the Circular
Economy Demonstration City policy on
carbon emissions across China and how
do CE practices aid in achieving the 'Dual
Carbon' targets. The study is anticipated
to conduct an empirical investigation
based on panel data from 287 prefecturelevel
cities from 2009 to 2021, aiming to
evaluate the impact of China's Circular Economy Demonstration City policy on
carbon emissions. The objective is to
determine the effectiveness of the
circular economy in achieving the
nation's 'Dual Carbon' targets and
provide comprehensive insights for
future policy refinements.
