This paper examines local implementation of China's dual carbon goals in three Chinese cities (Changji, Huzhou, Guangzhou), identifying distinct governance models shaped by economic structure, government commitment, and non-state actors. It…

Chang S.

This study empirically analyzes how environmental policy stringency and green finance drive green innovation in G7 economies. It finds that both policy stringency and financial support are significant drivers, with green finance playing an …

Pal S.

This study empirically examines the impact of environmental regulation stringency on carbon emissions using OECD country data. It tests whether stricter regulations effectively reduce emissions, providing policy implications.

Baranova P.

This paper proposes a framework for place-based business support in the net zero transition, analyzing the interplay of place, policy, and practice to identify effective enabling measures.

Dominic Coppens, Nicolas Lockhart

Three international courts (ICJ, ITLOS, IACtHR) issued landmark advisory opinions on climate change. They establish stringent mitigation obligations under international law, a due diligence standard aligned with the 1.5°C target, and duties…

Sun L.L.

This study analyzes China's 2060 carbon neutrality target at the provincial level, assessing feasibility. It considers provincial emission profiles and policy progress, discussing necessary measures for achieving the goal.

Ilyas M.

This paper provides an overview of policy frameworks and regulations for achieving net zero, comparing approaches across countries. It discusses challenges in designing and implementing regulations and effective policy mixes.

Huang S.

This paper analyzes the energy and economic impact of China's 2060 carbon neutrality target, testing the boundaries of the Porter Hypothesis. It quantifies how stringent policy affects competitiveness and underscores the need for carbon pri…

Choi H.

This study demonstrates that high-ambition climate action across all sectors can achieve a 59% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in Korea by 2035, providing critical evidence for policymakers on setting ambitious emission reduction targ…

Liu Y.

This paper evaluates policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from private transportation. It analyzes specific policy measures and their effectiveness, presenting strategies that are effective in reducing emissions.

Driscoll A.W.

This paper quantifies greenhouse gas emissions from irrigation pumping in the United States and discusses implications for climate-smart irrigation policy.

David M. Ong.

This book review examines a comprehensive legal text on net zero and nature positive. The book provides an analysis of the legal frameworks necessary to achieve net zero emissions and nature-positive outcomes, integrating climate change and…

Möller T.

This paper argues that achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions is critical to limit the risk of crossing climate tipping points. It emphasizes the urgency of deep decarbonization to prevent irreversible climate change.

Dowell G.

This study analyzes the impact of local climate concerns on industrial greenhouse gas emissions in the United States, suggesting that higher local concern is associated with greater emission reductions.

Thombs R.P.

This paper empirically evaluates the effectiveness of industrial decarbonization policies across 150 nations from 1990 to 2020. It analyzes the relationship between policy types, implementation, and emission reductions, offering insights fo…

Kumar S.

This paper discusses strategic policies and systems thinking for achieving net zero in the cement industry. It advocates integrating technological solutions (CCUS, hydrogen, etc.) with policy frameworks to drive supply-chain-wide transforma…

Rogelj J.

This paper analyzes net zero targets from both scientific and policy perspectives. While the abstract is missing, the title suggests a critical examination of how science informs policy in setting net zero goals.

Liu Z.

This paper evaluates the benefits of net-zero policies on future ozone pollution in China, highlighting co-benefits for air quality and informing integrated climate policy decisions.

Dafnomilis, I., Scheewel, J.L., den Elzen, M. +19

This report analyzes emission trends of 25 major emitters and projects aggregated emissions for 2025, 2030, and 2035 under full implementation of existing policies. The lower projection shows a decrease, while the higher projection indicate…
