This study uses hourly dispatch data from the Greek electricity system (Aug 2012 – Dec 2018) to estimate the marginal CO2 abatement efficiency of wind and solar power. Wind power achieves higher carbon savings per MWh than solar, primarily …

This study analyzes perceived agency for accelerating climate action within regional carbon budgets in three Swedish counties. Using a framework of six governing modes (self-governing, provision, authority, enabling, experimentation, agenda…

This study uses an agent-based model to evaluate a one-year harvest deferral program in U.S. southern plantation forests. Results show leakage effects on timber markets (higher stumpage prices, longer rotations) but additionality under high…

This study examines smart grid technologies for integrating solar, biomass, and hydrogen into urban energy systems, using Lagos, Nigeria as a case study. Four scenarios show that a solar-biomass-smart-grid pathway offers the best cost-perfo…

Chunjian Wang, Qidi Jiang, Jingshu Kong +3

This study proposes an AI-based multi-objective optimization framework for passive-oriented nearly zero-energy building envelope design in Chengdu's hot summer/cold winter climate. Using NSGA-II genetic algorithm, it optimizes wall/roof ins…

This review focuses on applying bio-based infills to hollow building blocks to improve thermal insulation. It analyzes interactions with thermo-fluid behavior (natural convection, conduction, radiation) in cavities, evaluating effects on th…

Boram Shin, Sung-Yoon Huh

This study estimates South Korean households' willingness to pay for climate finance to developing countries via the Green Climate Fund. Average WTP is KRW 5,291 (USD 3.87) per year, with a benefit-cost ratio of 1.39. Findings highlight the…

Di He, Enli Wang, Maartje Sevenster +3

This study integrates a process-based agricultural systems model (APSIM) with emission-factor calculations to assess GHG emissions from Australian cropping fields. It finds that net emissions vary widely across fields and seasons, and that …

This paper analyzes the ECtHR KlimaSeniorinnen judgment, arguing that effective human rights protection requires states to quantify their fair share carbon budgets relative to the 1.5°C global carbon budget. It has far-reaching implications…

Marianne Bügelmayer‐Blaschek, Kristin Tovaas, Alexandra Millonig

This paper presents research from the Austrian Institute of Technology on developing integrated climate mitigation pathways and a comprehensive communication toolset. As part of the Horizon Europe KNOWING project, it focuses on three climat…
