ABSTRACT

China will increase its autonomous national contribution, adopt more vigorous policies and measures, strive to peak CO2 emissions by 2030, and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. To achieve the goal of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, there is still enormous pressure to reduce emissions. Still, it is also an inevitable requirement to cope with global warming. As microeconomic subjects with the ultimate goal of profit, enterprises promote economic growth while their economic activities have a significant impact on the natural environment. This study uses VOSviewer software to visualize and analyze domestic and international research hotspots. Further, it discusses the development, corporate behavior, social perceptions, and national policies in related fields to provide positive guidance for enterprises to consciously assume social responsibility.
