  1. Chinese steel exporters show lagged responses to expected carbon costs
    Analysis of Chinese steel exporters' responses to anticipated EU carbon border policies, showing pricing serves as primary adjustment mechanism with significant lagged effects.
  2. Higher climate risk weakens EU banking stability
    Climate change reduces EU banking stability; renewable energy and energy taxes provide protection, with effectiveness varying by fiscal stringency and deployment intensity.
  3. Inter-provincial cooperation lowers China’s carbon reduction costs
    Optimize China's carbon emission reduction through inter-provincial cooperation mechanisms. A cost-based model shows 40-80% cooperation reduces abatement costs by 60-70% while balancing regional.
  4. Environmental taxes show no robust link to sectoral eco-investments
    Analysis of seven EU countries reveals environmental taxes do not significantly drive sectoral eco-investments when controlling for economic scale, suggesting need for complementary policy mechanisms.
  5. Carbon trading decentralization hindered energy eco-efficiency
    Study of 257 Chinese cities shows carbon emissions trading policy reduces energy efficiency through technological and structural changes, though spillover effects partially offset losses.
  6. China’s electricity and carbon prices show partial coupling
    Study quantifies China's carbon-to-electricity price transmission at 76.5%, identifies barriers to market coupling, and proposes institutional reforms for achieving clean energy targets.
  7. Hungary showed mixed sectoral decoupling of growth and emissions
    Analysis of greenhouse gas decoupling in Hungary reveals strong progress in manufacturing and utilities sectors but persistent challenges in agriculture and specialized services.
  8. RGGI linked to lower wages for unskilled energy-sector workers
    RGGI carbon emissions trading program caused significant wage declines for unskilled workers in energy-intensive sectors, with 7% reduction four years post-implementation, while skilled workers.
  9. Review maps climate adaptation economics research and methods
    Systematic review of 6,248 climate adaptation economics studies analyzing how households and firms respond to climate risks through methodological evolution and empirical findings from 1978-2025.
  10. Returning CBAM revenues to vulnerable products may raise welfare and cut emissions
    Product-level analysis of EU carbon border adjustment mechanism reveals revenue redistribution can increase global welfare and emissions reductions in steel sectors.
  11. Mexico’s carbon tax reduced emissions; Colombia and Argentina showed no clear effect
    Analyze how carbon taxes in Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina affected emissions. Mexico's combined policy package reduced transport emissions 12%, while isolated taxes in other countries showed.
  12. Energy transition model links predict long-term GDP gains and temporary unemployment
    Integrated energy and economic modeling shows Netherlands can achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 with long-term GDP growth, but faces transition costs including unemployment and welfare losses.
  13. Eco-coherent fiscal and energy policies are linked to lower pollution costs
    Dynamic analysis of fiscal-energy policy synchronization and pollution cost reduction in Mediterranean economies using Kuramoto modeling and nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag estimation.
  14. Framework proposed for feasible, equitable land-based climate mitigation
    Framework integrating numerical modelling with stakeholder coproduction for feasible, equitable assessment of land-based climate mitigation technologies across governance levels.
  15. Weighted scenario ensembles reduce dominance of overrepresented models
    Multidimensional weighting framework for emissions scenario ensembles accounting for relevance, quality, and diversity, with application to IPCC climate scenarios.
  16. Public support for carbon pricing stayed stable in Germany
    Study examines public support for carbon pricing in Germany 2019-2022, revealing that energy costs reduce backing while preferences shift toward social protection over environmental spending.
  17. Mixed fossil mitigation and CDR best matched climate and economic goals
    Study evaluates COP28 negative emission technologies through five global scenarios, finding that combined fossil fuel reduction with moderate carbon removal optimally meets 1.5°C targets while.
  18. Mandatory AI emissions disclosure appears operationally feasible
    Feasibility analysis of mandatory emissions disclosure for AI research using tiered policies and Monte-Carlo simulation, demonstrating high coverage with minimal operational burden on research venues.
  19. CORSIA may conflict with WTO trade rules
    Legal analysis assessing CORSIA compatibility with WTO trade rules and proposing governance reforms to reconcile sustainable aviation climate action with equitable international trade law.
  20. Low-carbon vehicle taxes were linked to distributional injustice
    Study reveals how vehicle tax policies intended to promote low-carbon cars create distributional injustice as manufacturers exploit market power, undermining affordability and emission goals.
