Using 103 Nigerian listed non-financial firms (2012–2023), this study examines how environmental, social, economic, and governance disclosures affect audit report lag. Environmental and social disclosures shorten reporting lag, while econom…

Erlangga Saputra, Elvin Bastian, Ina Indriana

Using 262 firm-year observations from 105 Indonesian consumer non-cyclical firms (2019–2024), this study tests how financial distress and leverage affect earnings management and whether ESG disclosure moderates these relationships. Neither …

Firyal Eilsa Nahdah, Edy Supriyono

Using panel data on 232 firm-years of Indonesian listed companies (2021-2024), this study examines how ESG performance—both composite and by pillar—affects SDG disclosure. Higher ESG scores significantly increase the extent of SDG reporting…

A gate-to-gate LCA of a produced water treatment plant in the oil and gas sector. Climate change was the largest impact (81.34 million kg CO2-eq), driven by air stripping and biological processes that account for over 75% of emissions due t…

Javier Lezaun

This article reads geological CO2 sequestration as a chance to rethink the appropriability of nature. It argues that legal and economic constructions of sequestered carbon remain parasitic on the ownership logic legitimizing fossil fuel ext…

This piece argues that carbon removal (CDR) projects must properly address justice concerns. Authored by researchers across European institutions, it likely stresses embedding equity and distributional fairness into CDR design and governanc…

Melissa Nihal CAGLE

An empirical study examining the relationship between digital government maturity and national carbon intensity. It likely tests whether e-government development correlates with lower carbon intensity across countries. Details are unavailab…

Abubakar Sadiq Mahmoud

This work examines the evidence requirements for appraising, permitting, and closing carbon capture and storage projects in hydrocarbon-dependent economies. It frames what data and standards decision-makers need across the CCS lifecycle, wi…

A self-sensing 3D-printable cementitious composite replaces 40 wt.% cement with metakaolin and adds 18 wt.% deinking-paper-sludge biochar as conductive filler. Internal humidity strongly governs electromechanical response, with gauge factor…

Vladislav Karasevich

A report surveying global trends in renewable and low-carbon gases, likely covering hydrogen, biomethane supply and policy landscapes. No abstract is available, so specifics remain unclear. It sits in the adjacent energy-transition space ra…

This study examines the hydration reactions of low-carbon cements, offering materials-science foundations for decarbonizing the cement sector. Authored by researchers across Slovak and Central European institutions, it targets reaction mech…

Amit Sharma, Anam Fatma

This paper analyzes carbon credits and carbon trading as market-based climate mitigation instruments from an economic and policy perspective. It argues that trading improves cost-effectiveness by enabling emission reductions where marginal …

Ezekiel Kelly

A structured comparison of South Africa, India and the lithium triangle argues that transition outcomes hinge on domestic political settlements and a state's position in the hierarchical international financial system. It shows that the com…
