Using Chinese A-share listed company data, this paper finds that corporate carbon neutrality management significantly reduces firm risk by alleviating financing constraints. The effect is stronger for firms with lower audit quality and inst…

Wenwen Guo, Yongliang Liu

This paper analyzes net zero discourse from 2015-2024 across the Global North and South, arguing that dominant narratives may reproduce colonial power structures. It proposes alternative narratives and calls for decolonizing climate policy …

Sarah Jasim, Joseph Simms, Anne Watson +5

This paper reports findings from a co-designed creative community engagement workshop on home retrofit and just transition to net zero, held in London in 2023. Forty diverse participants collaborated to generate priorities and solutions bri…

Sumera Ahmad, Ammar Rashid, Ahmed Bilal Awan +1

This literature review analyzes 89 studies on digital transformation in the renewable energy sector towards net-zero targets. It finds that digital technologies can significantly optimize performance and address sustainability issues, highl…
