This LCA study compares carbon footprints of water treatment technologies in arid regions, finding thermal desalination highest (up to 24 kg CO2/m3), reverse osmosis 1-4 kg, and wastewater reuse 79% lower. Renewable energy cuts emissions by…

Adit Risnawan

This paper examines the role of cashless payments in reducing the carbon footprint of financial transactions. It argues that digital payments may have lower environmental impact than cash, offering implications for sustainable financial inf…

Meng‐Ying Li, Wei Wang, Yudi M. Lozano +9

This study investigates how plastic fragments affect soil organic carbon persistence in dryland ecosystems by altering microbial metabolism and reducing plant carbon supply. It reveals that plastic pollution can accelerate carbon decomposit…

Yan Zheng, Wenhai Lu, Chang Liu +4

This study assesses multi-pool carbon stocks in mangrove ecosystems across five coastal provinces in China, revealing spatial heterogeneity and proposing refined carbon accounting methods. It offers a screening approach for prioritizing con…

Wenfang Pu, Lanjiao Wen, Anlu Zhang

Using panel data from 30 Chinese provinces (1997-2020), this study analyzes how land marketization (LM) and fiscal decentralization (FD) affect carbon emissions (CE). LM reduces CE, while FD increases it. Both have spatial spillover effects…

Aoran Zhang, Ayşe Yüce

This paper empirically analyzes the relationship between corporate carbon emissions and cross-border M&A activities. It reveals how carbon footprints influence international corporate strategy and investment decisions, offering insights int…

This study assesses China's realistic afforestation potential under ecological, policy, and economic constraints. The theoretically suitable area is 111-118 Mha, but after excluding policy-set-aside land, it reduces to 70-81 Mha. Using the …

Adinda Dwika Rahma, W. Widyasari

This study examines the impact of Carbon Management Accounting (CMA) on profitability and carbon tax intensity for Indonesian coal companies. CMA does not significantly affect profitability but significantly increases carbon tax intensity, …
