This paper analyzes how sufficiency (demand-side measures) contributes to achieving the EU's 2030 and 2050 greenhouse gas emission targets. While specific findings are not provided, it likely offers a policy evaluation framework.

Yemin Ding, Lee Chin, Piratdin Allayarov +2

This study uses panel data from 130 countries (2002-2021) to demonstrate that government digitization significantly increases GHG emissions. It identifies mechanisms: increased electricity consumption, improved total factor productivity, an…

This study analyzes greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture in 24 EU countries from 2008-2022. It finds that agriculture accounted for 15.3% of total EU emissions in 2021, with methane being the largest component. Countries like Bulgaria …

This paper introduces 'catalytic cascading' to describe how subnational net-zero commitments affect national target adoption. Using a global dataset, it finds that higher subnational coverage of population, GDP, or emissions is positively a…

This paper forecasts greenhouse gas emissions for Jakarta towards its 2050 net zero target, analyzing pathways and policy implications for urban climate action.

W.E. Chadwick, M.L. Johnson, A.J. Caveen +2

This paper analyzes policy gaps, conflicts, and synergies in achieving net-zero targets in marine and coastal areas. Focusing on a 'cluttered seascape' with diverse uses such as shipping, fisheries, and offshore renewable energy, it identif…

Godwin Daramola

This article examines how the EU's CSRD and CSDDD affect corporate behavior in the energy and extractive sectors across France, Germany, and Norway. It finds that while these directives have prompted formal changes like strengthened board o…

Ian Higham

This paper argues that the global net zero goal should be understood as an aspiration rather than an international norm. This conceptualization clarifies climate governance challenges and sets more accurate expectations for enforcement. The…

This paper explores optimization of economy-energy-environment (3E) policy mixes for decarbonization in China, analyzing synergies and trade-offs and proposing regional implementation strategies.

Yu Lai, Zhaopu Liu, Mingen Zhao +2

Using net-zero targets from 143 nations, this study finds mitigation policy reduces agricultural output by 7.9%, with emission reductions only half that amount. Output losses are mainly due to stagnant mitigation technology, but adaptation …

This paper examines strategies, barriers, and policies for decarbonizing the iron and steel industry in Latin America, focusing on regional challenges and solutions.

Marc-Philipp Bohnet, Philip Fliegel, Anne Schoenauer +3

This paper proposes a qualitative scenario analysis method integrating political economy and financial markets to derive EU decarbonization pathways. It evaluates multiple pathways considering policy-market interactions.

Hao Liu, Xiaofei Kou, Peng Sun +1

This paper analyzes government subsidy design for aviation decarbonization, comparing input subsidies (e.g., R&D) and output subsidies (e.g., sustainable fuel production) while considering technology spillovers.

Rosalie Arendt, Marc Van Den Berg, Daan Bossuyt +5

This study analyzes cement decarbonization roadmaps in Germany, the Netherlands, and Norway, revealing a 'sufficiency gap': roadmaps prioritize technical solutions and carbon capture while neglecting demand-side measures such as reducing ho…

Pham Van Huy

This paper presents a conceptual framework for structuring a national approach to decarbonize the maritime sector in Vietnam. It provides a foundation for policymakers and stakeholders to systematically address emissions reduction, aligning…

Adrianna Nava, Laura Zwolinski, Keirsha Thompson +2

This study uses a modified Delphi method to identify consensus-based strategies for decarbonizing health plans. Key strategies include energy efficiency improvements and renewable energy adoption, offering insights for healthcare sector dec…
