The impact of climate-adaptive city construction pilot policies on corporate ESG performance.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

In the context of climate-adaptive urban construction policies, understanding their impact on corporate sustainability practices is of critical importance. This study investigates how such policies influence corporate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance.

Methods

Results

The findings demonstrate that climate-resilient city construction policies sig
