This paper investigates whether IMO regulation of black carbon from Arctic shipping reflects regulatory capture or serves common interests. Using Mattli and Woods' framework, it combines doctrinal analysis and interviews to examine how inte…

Bibi Fiza Shah, Hyder Ali

This paper reviews research on climate policy uncertainty (CPU) and its implications for sustainable development using bibliometric and systematic review methods, identifying trends and future directions.

Shik O.V.

This paper analyzes how agricultural subsidies in Russia affect greenhouse gas emissions, evaluating the environmental impact of subsidy policies and their implications for climate change.

Wilson J.

This paper reviews state-level policy approaches to reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector in the US. It compares specific measures and outcomes to identify effective policy characteristics.

Junyi Liang, Shaojian Wang

This paper analyzes how trade protectionism, exemplified by US reciprocal tariffs, undermines sustainable development in the Global South. It finds that escalating trade barriers increase dependence on foreign green technologies and widen t…

This paper argues that 'target laws'—legislation with binding, quantified environmental targets and deadlines—are more effective than traditional risk regulation for systemic challenges like climate breakdown. Using examples from climate le…

Wang Q.J.

This paper empirically analyzes the influence of political ideology on greenhouse gas emissions. Left-wing governments generally promote emission reduction policies, but results vary by country and period. The research highlights political …

Maevsky O.

This study applies game-theoretic modeling to analyze the design of greenhouse gas emission regulations. It models regulatory effects and cooperation possibilities, providing insights for climate policy.

Romero J.P.

This study analyzes the relationship between economic complexity and greenhouse gas emissions, suggesting that countries with higher economic complexity may have lower emissions. It has implications for climate policy.

Reynolds T.

This umbrella review synthesizes findings from multiple systematic reviews on the health co-benefits of greenhouse gas emission reduction actions. It provides a comprehensive assessment of the positive public health impacts of climate mitig…

Gong Z.

This study examines the mechanisms of agricultural greenhouse gas emission reduction under macro-level emission reduction policies. It analyzes the relationship between policy interventions and agricultural emissions, aiming to propose effe…
