GX & Decarbonization Research

Catriona Ewart, T Davis, Xueqi Wu +5

Using participatory systems mapping, this study explores how high-SES individuals in the UK perceive their role in climate mitigation. Findings show they often deflect responsibility and lack a sense of agency, suggesting policies must fost…

Mwita N.W.

This paper empirically examines the role of financial inclusion and trade in reducing carbon intensity in Southern Africa. It reveals the mechanisms through which these factors contribute to green growth and provides policy implications.

Azar C.

This paper discusses the fair allocation of national greenhouse gas emissions from a climate justice perspective. It explores ethical frameworks and policy implications for international climate negotiations.

Zhang L.

This paper uses evolutionary game theory to analyze the interaction between greenhouse gas emissions and environmental inspection. It models the dynamic equilibrium between regulation and corporate behavior, proposing effective inspection s…

le Roux S.

This paper examines how awareness of UK Net-Zero targets influences actual emission reduction activities by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). It explores the gap between policy recognition and practical implementation, revealing fa…

Painter J.

This paper analyzes the coverage of net zero in UK national newspapers as a case study, revealing how the media questions and criticizes the net zero target.

Inseok Seo, Hyojin Song, Youhyun Lee

This study develops a two-dimensional typological framework integrating policy actors (citizens, public-private partnerships, government) and policy orientation (mitigation vs adaptation) to analyze 1,589 carbon neutrality projects from 31 …

Bimbo Ogunbanjo

This study analyzes the political dynamics linking water, energy, climate change, and ozone depletion. It contrasts successful ozone agreements with stalled climate action, emphasizing domestic-international political interconnections.

William Sepvano The

This study analyzes the structural anomaly in Indonesia's energy transition where green FDI declines sharply while domestic investment surges, attributing it to rigid environmental permitting, monopolistic procurement contracts, and local c…

Zeye Zhang, Jinfang Wang

This study uses the staggered rollout of public data open platforms in China as a quasi-natural experiment and a staggered difference-in-differences method to examine the impact of data openness on regional carbon emissions. It finds a sign…

Thibault Boughedada

This paper analyzes the institutionalization of a local low-carbon transition policy in Dunkirk, the largest industrial port in northern France. It finds that the policy, aimed at job creation and reindustrialization, is facilitated by land…

Mark Freeman, Ben Groom, Frikk Nesje +1

This paper explores the relationship between individual beliefs, scientific evidence, and climate action, examining how perceptions shape support for climate policies and offering insights for effective communication.

Yashodhara Shrikant Varale

This paper analyzes the economic impacts of climate change and policy responses, focusing on market-based instruments, cost-benefit analysis, and climate finance. It highlights the disproportionate burden on developing countries and argues …

Bruno Fontaine, Julien LEFEVRE, Antoine Teixeira +1

This study quantifies the mitigation potential of sufficiency measures (lifestyle changes reducing demand) in France's net-zero transition, comparing them with efficiency and electrification. Using an input-output model, it finds sufficienc…

Wang C.

This paper examines whether China's Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) changes the quality and allocation of green innovation, using proper modeling of treatment timing and spatial exposure. It employs causal inference methods to assess the pol…

Hasan L.N.

This paper examines the legitimation of private net zero emission building standards within global decarbonization goals. It explores how such standards gain acceptance and their role in decarbonizing the building sector.

Wei Zhang, Richard Bless Edzi, Gabriel Mordzifa Sackitey +2

This study examines the roles of economic policy uncertainty (EPU) and governance quality in climate mitigation and adaptation in BRIC economies from 1995-2024. Using PCSE and 2SLS estimators, it finds that EPU positively influences mitigat…

Pei‐Chien Lin, Fang-Yi Chu

This paper empirically examines the impact of women's political participation on the adoption of green policies and carbon emission reductions, contributing to the literature on gender and environmental outcomes.

Xiaotong Jian, Ruohan Wu, Rong Xu +1

Using panel data of Chinese A-share listed firms from 2012 to 2022, this study finds that low-carbon policy intensity increases corporate financialisation (shift from real investment to financial assets). The mechanism is driven by short-te…

Andreas Wolfsteiner

This paper seeks to identify global framework data for feasible national emission reduction targets compatible with the Paris Agreement. It finds a remaining mitigation gap even under optimistic assumptions, using the ESPM methodology.
