This paper investigates a plasma-chemical method for synthesizing graphene from low-carbon petroleum feedstocks. The approach may contribute to producing high-quality graphene for applications in energy storage and electronics, supporting b…

Xiangshuo Guan, Bing Xia, Jianzhuang Xiao +1

This paper proposes a stochastic modeling approach that accounts for the time-dependent variability of carbon benchmarks in low-carbon design of concrete buildings. By quantifying uncertainties through time-dependent analysis, it enables mo…

This study quantifies the carbon footprint of the global rice production and trade system, revealing trade concerns and mitigation opportunities through climate-smart agriculture.

Muniru Sewanyina, Jackline Abenaitwe, David Nyambane

This systematic review of 20 studies on SME ESG disclosure identifies regulatory pressures (e.g., CSRD) and supply chain mimicry as primary drivers. It finds unique barriers such as resource deficits and 'greenhushing'—suppressing sustainab…

Joanna Rosak-Szyrocka

This paper reviews the role of AI in ESG reporting through a bibliometric analysis of 765 publications from Scopus (2004-2026). Using keyword co-occurrence, Ishikawa diagram, and Pareto-Lorenz analysis, it identifies thematic clusters and k…

This conceptual review examines sustainability reporting and ESG assurance in Nigeria. It finds that while ESG disclosures are increasing, assurance adoption is limited by lack of expertise, weak enforcement, and high costs. The paper calls…

Ilham Ait-Oujalla, Jamal Mabrouki, Driss Azdem +4

This study analyzes Morocco's electricity sector from 2011-2022, showing increased production and consumption, self-sufficiency achieved after 2015, but heavy coal reliance. Recommendations for accelerating renewables and coal transition.

Komang Ariyanto

This bibliometric analysis examines smallholder adoption of agroforestry for climate adaptation and mitigation using 455 articles (2014–2023). It identifies three thematic clusters (climate-smart agriculture, biodiversity, socioeconomic res…

Shahid Ali, Haseeb Anwar, Sakiru Adebola Solarin +1

This study examines the impact of energy productivity on both consumption-based and production-based CO2 emissions in BRICS economies from 1990 to 2023 using quantile regression. Results show that energy productivity reduces both types of e…

This study uses predictive modeling to analyze how climate change will drive competition between soybean and sugarcane in Brazil's Paranapanema River Basin. Under SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5 scenarios, rising temperatures favor sugarcane expansio…

Hichem Saidi

Using panel data from 73 countries (37 OECD and 36 non-OECD) for 1990-2023, this study finds that climate finance and sustainable development significantly reduce CO2 emissions, confirmed by CCEP and CCEMG estimators. Renewable energy also …
