Using panel data from BRICS (2000-2023), this study finds that energy efficiency consistently improves labor market outcomes, while renewable energy transition has heterogeneous and often adverse short-run effects. Education and governance …

Hongyun Kuang, Qian Xiao, Ye Wu

Using panel data from eight major economies (2013-2023), this study finds that carbon pricing and green investment reduce employment in the short run, while carbon pricing improves life expectancy. Job quality has limited effect on employme…

This study uses a cradle-to-farm-gate LCA to demonstrate that compost substitution under deficit irrigation reduces both carbon and water footprints of wheat and faba bean in arid Upper Egypt, offering a practical GHG mitigation pathway for…

Isabel Gallego Álvarez, María Consuelo Pucheta‐Martínez, Inmaculada Bel‐Oms

This study examines how board characteristics (women directors and board tenure) affect carbon footprint reporting and the moderating role of CEO influence. Using panel data, it finds that both women directors and board tenure positively co…

This snapshot article argues that a materiality-weighted carbon footprint provides a clearer measure of near-term transition risk than total emissions, as it focuses on emissions facing stronger business pressure by sub-industry. It distill…

Chun‐Chih Chen, Hsiao-Tien Pao

This paper decomposes ecological footprint into carbon and land components for G7 nations (1975-2024), finding that renewable energy reduces carbon footprint but has no effect on land footprint, while GDP exerts twice the pressure on land. …

Seagrass offers the largest restoration potential among blue carbon habitats. Modeling shows that restoring seagrass to near its maximum global extent (about 1 million km²) could remove up to 17.8 Pg CO2-eq, with carbon credit values of USD…

Scott, Eric R., Diaz, Renata, Steinberg, Dani +2

This dataset provides annualized carbon and biomass estimates derived from the Forest Inventory and Analysis database (FIADB), with interpolated values from the forestTIME R package. It is useful for analyzing forest carbon dynamics.

InJi Heo, Wook Sohn

This paper analyzes the impact of carbon risk on sovereign bond risk premiums. It provides empirical evidence that countries with higher carbon emissions face higher bond yields, indicating that climate risks are priced in sovereign debt ma…

Melissa Cagle

This paper examines the conditioning of digital carbon payoffs, exploring how digital technologies can be leveraged to set conditions for carbon reduction payments. Without an abstract, details remain unclear, but it likely investigates the…

Melissa Cagle

This paper examines the conditioning factors that influence digital carbon payoffs, focusing on how digital technologies affect carbon reduction outcomes. No abstract available for details.
