Degraded peatlands are major GHG sources in the EU, prompting mitigation strategies like rewetting and afforestation. This perspective critiques the oversimplified view of these as competing, arguing they should be complementary based on lo…

Chiara Macchi

This contribution analyzes Article 22 of the CSDDD, which before its removal by the 'Omnibus I' proposal required large companies and financial institutions to adopt transition plans for climate change mitigation aligned with the Paris Agre…

This study assesses agricultural greenhouse gas emissions in China's Yangtze River Economic Belt, analyzing regional and sectoral emission characteristics to provide policy recommendations for mitigation.

Ruobei Chen, Yao Xiong

This study develops an integrated InVEST-GeoDetector-PLUS framework to assess carbon storage and saltmarsh blue carbon (SBC) dynamics in Jiangsu coastal zone, China, from 2000-2020, and simulates future scenarios (2030-2050). The Policy Reg…

Yucheng Zhu, Ke Wang

This study develops a tripartite evolutionary game model of government, enterprises, and consumers to analyze how command-control, market-incentive, and voluntary policies jointly promote green production and consumption. Findings show that…

THE ROLE OF FINANCIAL INCENTIVES IN PROMOTING CARBON NEUTRALITY THROUGH ECOLOGICAL COMPENSATION

This paper examines the role of financial incentives in achieving carbon neutrality through ecological compensation schemes. It focuses on policy design and economic mechanisms to promote decarbonization actions by firms and regions. While …

This study compares climate change mitigation practices among Atlantic-front municipalities in Porto, examining local policy implementation and identifying variations and challenges in regional climate action.

Matheus Koengkan, José Alberto Fuinhas, Anne Yenching Liu +2

This study analyzes determinants and pathways for carbon efficiency in the European agri-food system, drawing policy implications for climate action. It provides empirical insights for reducing emissions in agriculture and food supply chain…

Sophie Justen, Friedhelm Keimeyer, Sarah Hoesch +1

This paper analyzes the legal framework for the cascading use of biomass in the EU's revised Renewable Energy Directive (RED III). It argues that RED III obliges Member States to implement cascading use in law and practice, with strictly li…

This study empirically examines strategic motives behind national climate pledges under the Paris Agreement. Based on interviews with 40 policymakers, it identifies six strategic objectives, including attracting climate finance, setting sta…

Robert Winthrop

This paper critiques the dominant environmental strategy for climate mitigation, which frames it as a natural-science problem solvable by experts. It advocates a social strategy that treats climate change as a coupled human-natural system, …

Ruifei Li, Luo Yu, Xu Zhu +6

This study quantifies inequality in individual CO2 and air pollutant footprints in China from 2020-2060 under the dual-carbon policy. It finds that over 90% of inequality is intraprovincial, with top emitters' footprints driven by investmen…

Siyue Yang, Yang Zhang, Yichen Wang +2

This study evaluates China's Low-Carbon City Pilot (LCCP) policy by distinguishing its three implementation phases (2010, 2013, 2017) using a multi-period DID framework. Mandatory measures in the third batch significantly reduced CO2 intens…
