This paper quantifies bureau-specific spatiotemporal carbon footprints of China's railways and proposes decarbonization pathways. Using detailed energy and emissions data, it characterizes emission profiles across railway bureaus and presen…

Lau H.C.

This paper proposes a framework for decarbonizing Thailand's economy, likely covering policy measures, renewable energy, and sectoral transitions. Without an abstract, specifics are inferred from the title; it suggests a strategic roadmap f…

Van Tam N.

This paper focuses on promoting net-zero carbon in Vietnam's construction sector, identifying potential benefits and challenges from the perspective of key stakeholders. It aims to uncover barriers and opportunities for decarbonization in t…

Okereke C.

This paper analyzes the macroeconomic and social impacts of Nigeria's net-zero transition pathways using a hybrid model. It evaluates effects on employment, GDP, inequality, and provides policy implications.

Chou K.T.

This paper analyzes Taiwan's net-zero transition through the lens of East Asian developmental environmentalism. It examines how Taiwan's policies and practices align with regional decarbonization efforts, potentially offering comparative in…

Bras A.

This briefing outlines Liverpool's urban decarbonisation initiative to achieve net zero, covering specific measures, targets, and progress, with implications for other cities.

Raman A.

This study applies the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to comparatively evaluate net zero decarbonization strategies. It proposes a multi-criteria decision-making framework to prioritize strategic options. The method aids decision-making a…
