This paper compares home heating transitions in Finland, Romania, Sweden, and the United Kingdom using an integrated framework of energy democracy, energy citizenship, and energy justice. It reveals that citizen engagement is shaped by infr…

Carmen Heinrich

This study analyzes climate policy mixes and environmental innovation (EI) across 13 OECD countries including Japan using a Bayesian hierarchical model. It finds that the overall size of the policy mix is the strongest predictor of higher E…

Cosku Mihci, Stephanie Attar

This paper proposes modeling degrowth strategies for rapid climate crisis mitigation, examining whether democratically planned economic contraction can effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Without empirical data, it remains a theore…

This paper applies five effort-sharing approaches to allocate the remaining global land transport carbon budget across countries for 1.5°C and 2°C scenarios. Most developed countries cannot meet their fair share even with a 5% annual reduct…

William Hopkinson

This article is the first to use qualitative comparative analysis to examine variation in NDC ambition among OECD states. It finds that low fossil fuel interests and non-left partisanship can overcome institutional barriers for ambitious ND…

Stefan Linde

This study investigates public perceptions of political polarization on climate change mitigation, comparing them with expert assessments. Using public opinion and expert surveys, it finds that public perceptions are generally lower than ex…

This paper provides a comprehensive overview of India's environmental regulatory framework, covering key legislation, climate policies, renewable energy missions, waste management, and ESG norms. It highlights progress and persistent challe…

Hao Zhao, Haotian Zhang, Nicklas Forsell +3

This study models how China's food self-sufficiency targets affect GHG emissions. Increasing self-sufficiency reduces trade-embodied emissions by 50% but increases domestic emissions by 7%, with net reduction. A market-mediated feedback via…

This paper examines the green and low-carbon employment security mechanism in Heyuan, Guangdong, China, from the just transition perspective. It identifies weaknesses in endogenous development, low adaptability of current security mechanism…

Abhiveer Gulati

This paper empirically examines how major ESG regulatory frameworks (EU SFDR/CSRD, US SEC mandatory disclosure proposal, Chinese green bond system) influence corporate investment in sustainable projects. Results show mandatory disclosure qu…

Ekaterina Rhodes, Truzaar Dordi, Basma Majerbi +1

This study examines media framings of net zero and how various stakeholders (government, industry, NGOs) are portrayed. It analyzes the implications for public understanding and support for climate policies, highlighting challenges in clima…

Weiying Chen, Zhiwen Chen, Yue Wang +2

This study uses fixed-effects modeling on 2011-2021 panel data from China's Digital Village program to analyze its impact on carbon emissions. It finds that digital village construction can curb greenhouse gases by optimizing resource alloc…

Eirini Gallou, Andrew Crerand

This paper presents a dilemma game on climate justice designed to build sustainability impact assessment skills through multi-stakeholder participation. Integrating SDGs and value pluralism, it demonstrates potential for democratic delibera…
