Discussion

Analysis reveals spatial temporal characteristics of pollution control and carbon reduction synergy, highlighting key influencing factors.

Air pollutant equivalents declined while carbon emissions increased in the Chengdu–Chongqing region from 2007 to 2022.
Coupling coordination between pollution control and carbon reduction showed low overall levels, fluctuating significantly over the study period.
Spatial analysis revealed a core–periphery structure, identifying Chongqing and Chengdu as central cities with low-value zones.
Economic development and environmental regulation positively influenced synergy, while urbanization and energy consumption had negative effects.

Zhang et al. (2025) studied this question.
