  1. Authors propose broader view of climate change drivers
    Framework proposing anthropogenic power generation and energy balance as factors in climate change, with industrial efficiency improvements as mitigation strategy
  2. Rapid carbon pricing can create macro-financial instability
    Integrated modeling shows rapid decarbonization via carbon pricing creates macro-financial risks, treatable through coordinated climate and economic stabilization policies.
  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. Aviation climate policies are assessed for their likely effectiveness
    Economic analysis examining policy mechanisms for aviation emission reduction, comparing domestic regulations and international agreements.
  5. Anticipated regret and discounting shape households’ LCT adoption intentions
    Survey of 1,355 UK households explores how anticipated regret and temporal discounting influence low-carbon technology adoption intentions and emission reduction potential.
  6. Industrialization and ICT raise CO₂ emissions in China
    Wavelet analysis reveals industrialization and ICT increase CO2 emissions in China, while financial development and renewables offer decarbonization pathways for carbon neutrality.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. Global atmospheric chlorine declined over 2004–2024
    21-year satellite inventory shows global atmospheric chlorine declining since 2004, though emerging short-lived substances offset some gains from CFC phase-out regulations.
  11. Emissions cuts affect wildfire risk differently across China
    Study examines how aerosol and greenhouse gas reductions under carbon neutrality create regionally divergent wildfire impacts in China, with competing mechanisms driving risk changes.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. Result-based contracts appear more acceptable for dairy methane reduction
    Study integrating farmer preferences into cost-efficient design of agri-environmental contracts for methane mitigation in Polish dairy production.
  15. Public attention alters fossil fuel company profitability
    Panel regression study of S&P500 fossil fuel firms examining how public climate attention moderates the relationship between environmental policy and corporate profitability.
  16. UK climate strategy and standards support emissions action
    Explore UK climate strategy toward 2050 net-zero target, examining carbon leakage, greenhouse gas accounting, life-cycle assessment, and ISO standards for emissions reduction and climate adaptation.
  17. 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.
  18. Danish landowners prefer higher compensation for restrictive agri-environment schemes
    Choice experiment analysis of Danish landowners' preferences for temporary versus permanent agri-environmental schemes, revealing policy design misalignment between implicit discount rates.
  19. 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.
  20. Digitalization and growth are linked to higher greenhouse gases in Saudi Arabia
    Explores how supply chain digitalization, green innovation, and financial globalization affect greenhouse gas emissions in Saudi Arabia using frequency domain causality analysis and quantile.
