Mexico’s carbon tax reduced emissions; Colombia and Argentina showed no clear effect
Analyze how carbon taxes in Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina affected emissions. Mexico’s combined policy package reduced transport emissions 12%, while isolated taxes in other countries showed.
Eco-coherent fiscal and energy policies are linked to lower pollution costs
Dynamic analysis of fiscal-energy policy synchronization and pollution cost reduction in Mediterranean economies using Kuramoto modeling and nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag estimation.
Framework proposed for feasible, equitable land-based climate mitigation
Framework integrating numerical modelling with stakeholder coproduction for feasible, equitable assessment of land-based climate mitigation technologies across governance levels.
Public support for carbon pricing is persistent in Germany
—
Study examines public support for carbon pricing in Germany 2019-2022, revealing that energy costs reduce backing while preferences shift toward social protection over environmental spending.
Mixed fossil mitigation and CDR best matched climate and economic goals
Study evaluates COP28 negative emission technologies through five global scenarios, finding that combined fossil fuel reduction with moderate carbon removal optimally meets 1.5°C targets while.
Mandatory emissions disclosure is feasible for AI research venues
Feasibility analysis of mandatory emissions disclosure for AI research using tiered policies and Monte-Carlo simulation, demonstrating high coverage with minimal operational burden on research venues.
Low-carbon vehicle taxes linked to distributional injustice
Study reveals how vehicle tax policies intended to promote low-carbon cars create distributional injustice as manufacturers exploit market power, undermining affordability and emission goals.
Large CDR pathways may discourage faster emissions cuts
Analysis of how reliance on carbon dioxide removal in climate scenarios may substitute for immediate emissions reductions, creating carbon budget overshoot and justice concerns.
Carbon trading linked to higher well-being in Chinese cities
Analysis of 273 Chinese cities from 2008-2020 reveals carbon emissions trading systems improve well-being through green innovation, with heterogeneous effects across regions.
Non-permanent carbon removal can lower mitigation costs
Welfare analysis of permanent versus non-permanent carbon dioxide removal: non-permanent CDR lowers near-term mitigation costs but does not reduce long-run temperatures; policy requires.
