This paper examines how voluntary corporate climate targets function within a patchwork of differing national and regional policies. It likely explores how overlaps and gaps between voluntary frameworks such as SBTi and regulation shape tar…

Yazhen Gong, Min Wang, Jinhua Zhao

China leads the world in both GHG emissions and renewable energy deployment. This review classifies China's climate policies into binding climate targets and a mix of command-and-control and market-based implementation mechanisms. It assess…

This review critically examines limitations of current CO2 capture, sequestration, and utilization technologies—capture efficiency, energy demand, economics, and long-term environmental benefit. It reframes CO2 as a chemical feedstock and h…

Johannes Schrank

This study uses a media-based climate change index and monthly U.S. data (2003–2025) in a VAR framework to examine how climate concerns affect labor markets, consumer confidence, stocks, T-bill rates, manufacturing, and exports. Most indica…

Vivek Singh, Gaurav Sushant

A qualitative comparative study of India and Brazil's renewable energy transitions toward SDG 7, drawing on government, IEA, IRENA and academic data (2010-2023). India emphasizes solar, wind and hydro with policy incentives; Brazil relies o…

Sahas Rathi, Darryl Kofi Safo

This paper positions engineered geosynthetics as an enabling technology that amplifies multiple high-impact climate solutions. It maps three pathways—landfill methane containment, albedo-enhanced bifacial PV yield, and embodied-carbon reduc…

Pierre Jouannais, Lia Rapella, Philippe J Drobinski +3

A prospective, spatially explicit consequential LCA of agrivoltaic (AV) deployment for wheat in Southern Europe, distinguishing electricity-demand-driven from crop-demand-driven logics. Electricity-driven AV can cut impacts versus PV in hig…

Vivek Mustafa Gilani, Hasan Khan, Anusha Mohan +6

The paper critiques mainstream reflective 'Cool Roofs' for underperforming in dense informal settlements in India, citing maintenance burdens, displaced heat, and supply-chain dependence. Drawing on four years of pilots across 200 buildings…

Liang¹ D, Song¹ J, Ke¹ S +6

This paper proposes a coordinated optimal scheduling method for electricity-hydrogen coupled systems that captures the dynamic behaviors of PEM electrolyzers (thermal inertia, temperature, start-stop), rather than assuming constant efficien…

Liu F, Yang L, Gao C +6

Using a Tambora-scale eruption as an analogue for abrupt aerosol-driven climate disruption, the authors combine climate simulations with renewable resource and cost estimates to assess global wind and solar impacts. They find a concurrent 3…
