This study examines ESG and cyber risk management in Kazakhstan's low-carbon transition by aligning EU and Chinese standards through a demoethics framework. Using foresight methods like SWOT and Cartesian square, it evaluates strategic path…

László Bokor

This paper proposes a simple input-output framework for estimating GDP and employment in low-GHG-intensity sectors resulting from green expenditures. It provides a numerical example based on Hungarian data and highlights practical implement…

Joana Setzer

This article examines the evolution of climate litigation from a tool to compel action to a forum for contesting the quality and fairness of climate measures. It analyzes 'just transition' litigation, where workers and communities claim cli…

Le Sun, Jia Liu, Kuanhou Tian

Using Chinese A-share listed firms from 2008-2024, this study finds that low-carbon transition strategy disclosure increases analyst following. The effect is driven by enhanced investor relations and richer information environment, but mana…

This study analyzes the long-run relationship between hydrogen R&D expenditures and CO2 emissions in Canada (2004Q1-2024Q4) using Fourier ADL cointegration. Hydrogen production and storage R&D are significantly associated with lower emissio…

Yongqi Zhao, Hong Liao, Lei Chen +3

This study uses WRF-Chem to assess how vegetation expansion under China's carbon neutrality pathway increases BVOC emissions and affects ozone pollution in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. In 2040, increased BVOCs raise urban MDA8 O3 by 3.…

Lei Wang, Tao Hu, Xuan Jiang +3

Within a coordinated fiscal-financial policy framework, this study constructs a debt risk contagion model for industrial enterprises using complex network analysis and cellular automata. Numerical simulations reveal that carbon tax, fiscal …
