| Summary/Abstract |
The problem of environmental pollution becomes serious along with the advancement of urbanization in China. The public is paying more and more attention to environmental governance. The Chinese government has promulgated and implemented policies to ensure public participation in environmental governance. Based on Chinese provincial data from 2006 to 2014, this study analyzes the problem from the aspect of the public's own living environment and investigates the interaction between public participation behavior and policy. The empirical results show that public environmental participation behavior measured by the number of complaint letter has no impact on the public's own living environment, while the number of proposals from members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) does. Moreover, the public participation policy plays a significant role in improving environmental governance. In addition, the impact of public participation policy and proposals on environmental governance is mutually replaceable. This may be due to the proposals are different from ordinary letters. We recommend that the government should adopt the proposals from CPPCC when formulating policies.

| Summary/Abstract |
Bangladesh, a climate-vulnerable country, has taken initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The country's most significant challenge to achieving that goal is keeping economic growth even after ensuring commercial and residential energy for its people, primarily dependent on fossil fuel. This research investigates the residential electricity and gas consumption and its effect on Bangladesh's economic growth with the data period 1975–2018. Household energy consumption is one of the critical factors for sustainable economic growth, although it is not directly converted to the country's manufacturing output. Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bound testing approach has been used due to the robust and better performance in this study with the smaller size of the sample. The country's labor-intensive economy has been found with a unidirectional relationship from household electricity consumption and population growth, which stresses the significance of ensuring electricity for all. Therefore, the country cannot take the energy conservation policy right now as it could obstruct its growth. However, energy sources might be replaced with renewable energies to meet the country's residential energy demand.
