This study examines how host country environmental regulations and low-carbon transition progress influence logistics firms' overseas investment location choices. It finds that stricter regulations may encourage investment in low-carbon tec…

Xinjie Wang, Yaohui Jiang

Using a difference-in-differences approach, this study evaluates the impact of China's Village Merger and Resettlement (VMR) policy on carbon emissions and carbon sinks. It finds that VMR reduces emissions through population concentration a…

Gaurav Gupta, Anoop Singh

This paper reexamines India's vehicle scrappage policy from a lifecycle energy and policy effectiveness perspective. It evaluates the potential for energy savings and emission reductions, and assesses the overall effectiveness of the policy…

Pruethsan Sutthichaimethee, Danupon Ariyasajjakorn, Jianhui Luo +4

This paper proposes an advanced integrated cross-sectoral model for formulating government strategies on energy consumption management to reduce greenhouse gas emissions toward net-zero. The model addresses multiple sectors simultaneously, …

Yan Zheng, Hefeng Wang, Yangyi Ai +3

This paper examines China's blue carbon governance, focusing on the ecology-policy interface. It finds that national crediting is strongest for restoration projects under the CCER system, but governance gaps remain: ecosystems are treated u…

This study analyzes how UNFCCC-based climate governance, particularly the Paris Agreement's pledge and review logic and Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF), shapes Indonesia's mitigation commitments and explains the persistence of the imp…

Backlund, Ivar

This paper proposes a 'Repeatability Across Generations' framework to assess if energy systems and industrial development can be sustained over 100-500 years within ecological and resource limits. It critiques the parallel operation of low-…

This paper analyzes the evolution of UK Net Zero politics from 2010-2024 under Conservative governance, introducing the concept of Discursive Institutional Dilution (DID). It identifies four mechanisms—fragmentation, rhetorical neglect, orp…

Yannan Geng, Dashan Liu, Chunhua Cai +2

Using a staggered difference-in-differences model on Chinese listed firms from 2007-2023, this study finds that China's Low-Carbon City Pilot policy significantly promotes both substantive and strategic green innovation. The positive effect…

Swapnanil SenGupta, Aakansha Atal

Using panel data from 185 countries (1995-2022), this study finds that women's empowerment—measured by labor force participation, legal rights, and political empowerment—significantly reduces climate vulnerability and enhances resilience, w…

Mizdrak A.

This modeling study estimates that active transport (walking, cycling) can reduce greenhouse gas emissions while improving public health and lowering healthcare costs. The findings support investment in active transport infrastructure as a …

Tenhunen-Lunkka A.

This paper assesses the greenhouse gas emission reduction potential of the European Union's circularity targets for plastics. It analyzes the impact of circular measures such as recycling and reuse, quantifying the emission reductions achie…

Rosa L.

This review examines pathways for agriculture to achieve net-zero emissions, covering mitigation options, carbon sequestration, and policy frameworks. It synthesizes current knowledge on reducing greenhouse gases from farming while maintain…

Masoud Sajjadian S.

This paper critically examines the UK's net zero strategy, identifying gaps and challenges in policy implementation and emissions reduction pathways. It offers a thorough evaluation of current measures and suggests improvements for achievin…

L Wang, Hongyu Cai, Xu Fu +1

This paper examines whether sustainable development policies in China's resource-based cities achieve local emission reductions while causing regional carbon leakage. It provides empirical evidence on the effectiveness and unintended spillo…
