This paper analyzes how sufficiency (demand-side measures) contributes to achieving the EU's 2030 and 2050 greenhouse gas emission targets. While specific findings are not provided, it likely offers a policy evaluation framework.

Yemin Ding, Lee Chin, Piratdin Allayarov +2

This study uses panel data from 130 countries (2002-2021) to demonstrate that government digitization significantly increases GHG emissions. It identifies mechanisms: increased electricity consumption, improved total factor productivity, an…

This study evaluates integrated bundled measures to reduce reactive nitrogen losses and GHG emissions from global livestock systems. It finds that combining multiple interventions can halve nitrogen losses and achieve net-zero emissions.

Naomi Bennett-Steele, Sophie Morris, Sarah J. Moller +6

This study uses participatory systems mapping with the West Midlands as a case study to explore how local authorities can adopt a whole-systems approach for net-zero. The system map identified opportunities to disrupt poverty cycles, improv…

Angel Hsu, Diego Manya, Nihit Goyal

This paper introduces 'catalytic cascading' to describe how subnational net-zero commitments affect national target adoption. Using a global dataset, it finds that higher subnational coverage of population, GDP, or emissions is positively a…

This paper forecasts greenhouse gas emissions for Jakarta towards its 2050 net zero target, analyzing pathways and policy implications for urban climate action.

W.E. Chadwick, M.L. Johnson, A.J. Caveen +2

This paper analyzes policy gaps, conflicts, and synergies in achieving net-zero targets in marine and coastal areas. Focusing on a 'cluttered seascape' with diverse uses such as shipping, fisheries, and offshore renewable energy, it identif…

Godwin Daramola

This article examines how the EU's CSRD and CSDDD affect corporate behavior in the energy and extractive sectors across France, Germany, and Norway. It finds that while these directives have prompted formal changes like strengthened board o…

Ian Higham

This paper argues that the global net zero goal should be understood as an aspiration rather than an international norm. This conceptualization clarifies climate governance challenges and sets more accurate expectations for enforcement. The…
