Popis: | Environmental emergencies have become a severe challenge to human society due to their great harmfulness, which seriously restrict the sustainable development of human society. Previous studies mainly focused on the pollutant sources and consequences of environmental emergencies, yet lacking highlight of the antecedents of environmental emergencies. Based on a panel data of 31 provinces in China, this paper establishes a mediating effect model to empirically investigate how government environmental enforcement and corporate environmental responsibility consensus (CCER) influence environmental emergencies. The results show that there exists a significant positive correlation between the intensity of government environmental enforcement and CCER, while CCER has negative influence on the frequency of environmental emergencies. In addition, CCER plays a full mediating role in the relationship between government environmental enforcement and environmental emergencies. In short, this research clarified the relationship between government environmental enforcement, CCER, and environmental emergencies, verified the intermediary role of CCER. This paper uncovers another “black box” of the mechanism of environmental emergencies, makes up for the limitations of previous studies from a single perspective, expands the scope of research on environmental emergencies, and proposes corresponding policy recommendations. |
