Abstract

Faced with the climate warming crisis caused by excessive greenhouse gas emissions, China has proposed the "dual carbon" goal and implemented carbon emission trading policies. Scholars have conducted extensive empirical research on the policy effects of carbon emission trading policies on carbon reduction, economic performance, and other aspects, but there is little literature that focuses on the impact of policies on enterprises from a micro perspective. Against the backdrop of achieving high-quality development in China, the importance of enterprise green technology innovation as an important supporting force is increasing day by day. Therefore, this study summarizes relevant concepts, theoretical foundations, the impact of carbon emission trading policies on green technology innovation, and the specific mechanisms of their effects. It provides a review and provides relevant suggestions for future research.
