This paper develops I3E-Transport, an Irish passenger transport model, to evaluate carbon taxation and ICE phase-out policies. Simulations for 2024–2050 show that while a carbon tax yields limited abatement, a comprehensive ICE ban from 203…

Oberthür S.

This paper analyzes the evolution of EU climate policy from emissions trading to the European Green Deal, focusing on policy mix and integration. It examines the role of the EU ETS and policy interactions, offering insights for future clima…

Yanyan Ma, Maomao Yu

This paper uses staggered difference-in-differences to examine China's Intelligent Manufacturing Policy's effect on reducing firms' pollution emission intensity relative to export value. It identifies four transmission channels: improved in…

This study uses panel data from 47 countries (2000-2023) to analyze the impact of energy policy stringency on green and digital energy start-ups. A one-unit increase in the Energy Policy Stringency Index leads to 8.5% growth in green start-…

Czerny A.I.

This paper analyzes policy lessons from Europe on decarbonizing aviation and maritime transport. It examines regulations, market mechanisms, and technology incentives, offering insights for other regions.

This article analyzes the geopolitical repercussions of climate measures by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the European Union (EU) for international shipping. The findings indicate that current climate policies are diverg…

R. Thiébaut, Marc Selgas-Cors

This paper analyzes the EU's CSRD directive, which mandates sustainability disclosure for 50,000 companies, requiring third-party assurance and penalties for non-compliance. It empirically evaluates how this regulatory approach deters green…

Valentyn Vyshnevskyi

This paper examines the impact of IMO regulatory mechanisms (EEDI, EEXI, CII) and the EU ETS on the freedom of the high seas. It proposes an 'environmentally conditioned freedom of navigation' model, arguing that environmental duties are in…

This study analyzes public governance challenges in renewable energy deployment, focusing on security and political aspects. Using qualitative methods, it identifies structural barriers such as political short-termism, regulatory uncertaint…

Biswajit Nayak, Amisha Maity

Using panel data for 61 countries (2000-2021) and patent-based environmental innovation measures, this study finds that innovation significantly reduces CO2 emissions in developed economies but not in developing ones, highlighting the need …
