Abstract: Abstract As a critical challenge confronting global sustainable development, carbon emissions have become a focal point across scientific and policy domains. This investigation focuses on provincial-level data from China’s 30 administrative regions to examine the geospatial interactions between environmental governance frameworks and decarbonization outcomes. Employing spatial econometric modeling, the study reveals three principal findings: (1) Regulatory mechanisms demonstrate geographically heterogeneous spillover effects on emission mitigation, with these impacts exhibiting temporal cumulative enhancement. (2) Policy interventions effectively stimulate green innovation among industrial entities and drive structural optimization of economic systems, constituting vital pathways for achieving China’s dual carbon objectives and fostering ecologically sustainable growth patterns. (3) The emission reduction efficacy manifests regionally differentiated outcomes, necessitating implementation of differentiated governance frameworks. These findings advocate for developing coordinated policy mechanisms that leverage spatial interdependence, offering strategic insights for optimizing regional collaborative governance systems and formulating geographically tailored emission mitigation strategies.
