This study examines the legal, ethical, and socio-economic challenges of using geoengineering (carbon dioxide removal and solar radiation management) for climate change mitigation. Through doctrinal analysis of international law and literat…

Klaudijo Klaser

This paper proposes a novel theoretical mechanism for climate cooperation, where countries finance each other's mitigation actions, thereby transforming the social dilemma into a self-enforcing, incentive-compatible arrangement. It offers a…

This paper argues that cities need robust carbon dioxide removal (CDR) strategies, not just emission reductions, to meet net-zero targets. It analyzes city-specific CDR opportunities and challenges, offering recommendations for policymakers…

Gaoxin Guo, Peng Wang

This article analyzes regulatory overlap between the EU Maritime ETS and the IMO Net-Zero Framework in international shipping decarbonization. It identifies normative, cost, and procedural overlaps, and proposes a two-level coordination pat…

This paper examines strategies for managing carbon-intensive materials in a world without a global carbon price. As decarbonization progresses, addressing the carbon emissions of materials becomes critical. It offers policy and industry imp…

Kim Y.

This paper analyzes the variation in local net-zero policy stringency across South Korean municipalities, exploring the political and economic factors that explain why some regions adopt more ambitious climate policies than others. It provi…

Zhe Zhang, Jing Li, Shengzhen Ding

Using panel data from 275 Chinese cities (2012-2023), this study measures public climate attention via Baidu Index and evaluates urban climate governance performance across mitigation and adaptation. Results show public attention significan…

Linghao Meng, Mengjing Xu

This study examines the application of the common but differentiated responsibilities (CBDR) principle to carbon emission reduction in high seas fisheries, where no unified international framework exists. It justifies shared and differentia…

Muhammad Irfan

This paper empirically examines the impact of climate policy regimes and eco-innovation on environmental sustainability in France, using the load capacity factor as a measure. It assesses how different policy types and intensities affect en…

Huiping Wang, Xinyue Zhang

This paper empirically examines the impact of green credit policy (GCP) on corporate low-carbon transition (LCT) using difference-in-differences models with panel data of Chinese A-share listed companies from 2010 to 2021. It finds that GCP…

Michael Nchango, Dilek Latif

This study analyzes the 'dual perception' of fossil fuels as strategic assets and environmental liabilities among major emitters (China, US, India, Russia) using neoclassical realism. Combining qualitative analysis of leaders' speeches with…

Ravikiran Chintalapudi, Dadhu Venkata Raghunatha Reddy, Gangadhara Rao Ponugoti +4

Develops a framework for forecasting India's CH4, CO2, N2O, NOx, and PM2.5 emissions using EDGAR data and covariates. Selects optimal model per pollutant and applies conformal prediction for uncertainty. Projects 37.96% CO2 increase from 20…

Trond Vedeld, Hege Hofstad

This study analyzes 95 interviews and policy documents from 24 climate protest groups in four Nordic cities (Bergen, Oslo, Gothenburg, Stockholm) to explain when climate action is accepted or contested. Throughput legitimacy (fairness, acco…
