Abstract
Collaboration is already widely used to solve regional pollution problems, but the effectiveness of cooperation and its impact on environmental pollution need to be more fully accounted for. This paper establishes a environmental impact analysis framework of intergovernmental environmental cooperation, we explores the influence of intergovernmental environmental cooperation on environmental pollution and its action path by using fact-based intercity agreements data from the Yangtze River Delta region in China. We find that increasing the level of intergovernmental environmental cooperation can significantly reduce pollution emissions. The optimization of industrial structure, green technological innovation, and fiscal expenditure on environmental protection all play a mediating role in this process. This study contributes to the understanding of the environmental impact of intergovernmental cooperation and its process of action. Additionally, these results have both theoretical and practical implications for providing more ideas for reducing pollution emissions.
