This study examines the economic implications of climate policies, specifically evaluating the effectiveness of Kyoto Protocol (and the institutional setting emerging from it) in reducing carbon emissions. By analyzing data from 36 OECD countries between 1992 and 2019, we assess marginal abatement costs and evaluate the impact of the Kyoto Protocol.
Under the global digitalization trend, enhancing the construction of new-generation information network infrastructure is crucial for China to break the high-carbon path dependence formed during traditional economic
development. This study uses city-level data of China from 2010 to 2021 to calculate the carbon lock-in degree of
283 cities.
Stakeholder engagement in the process of policy formation can mitigate the risks
of flaws in policy planning and implementation; it also facilitates the successful adoption
of new decisions, reduces conflict, and enhances the sense of responsibility among all
actors involved in the implementation phase.
Population semi-urbanization has become a significant feature in the process of urbanization in some countries, especially China. Although the impact of population and urbanization on the ecological environment was thoroughly studied, the role of the semi-urbanized population needs further discussion. This research studies the spatial effect of population semi-urbanization on sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions through provincial data from China.
The study investigates the relationship of green HR practices with green organizational performance. This paper further
analyzes the impact of different dimensions: green performance management, green HR data and analytics, green
recruitment and selection, green compensation and evaluation, green succession planning, green training and development,
and green HR information systems on green HR practices.

This paper analyses the sustainable economic competitiveness of cereal farms in Lithuania relative to selected European Union (EU) Member States (MS). The paper proposes and empirically tests an aggregated measure of Sustainable Economic Competitiveness Index (SECI) for agriculture from a production perspective.

The impact of supply chain digitalization (SCD) on carbon dioxide emissions is an emerging area of research, particularly in China, which is the world’s largest carbon emitter. This study uses micro-level data on listed companies from 2010 to 2021 to systematically verify the impact and mechanism of SCD on corporate carbon emissions (CCE) through the difference-in-differences model.
This research delves into a crucial yet often neglected aspect of total carbon emissions—household carbon
emissions (HCEs). Utilizing data from the China Household Finance Survey (CHFS), this paper examines the
causal relationship between the reference-dependent point for expected income (RDPEI) and HCEs through both
theoretical and empirical lenses.
Owing to critical policy significance, a growing body of literature has been predominantly concentrating on the
social welfare benefits brought by green finance (GF) initiatives. However, there is a paucity of research that
quantifies the economic costs of GF initiatives on carbon reduction, raising the increasing concerns about the
irreconcilable climate-economy trade-offs. To end this, the present study systematically investigates the influence
of GF initiatives on the carbon-related marginal abatement cost (MAC) using two competing hypotheses: regulatory
versus technical effects.
Evaluating the consumption-based carbon footprint offers detailed insights into people’s behaviours, lifestyles, and environmental impact stemming from their consumption patterns. Integrating life satisfaction and attitudes into the analysis is crucial. This paper aims to examine how life satisfaction, financial constraints, attitudes toward sustainable consumption, environmental awareness, and socio-economic/demographic variables contribute to the carbon footprint across the following consumption categories: food, mobility, electricity, heating, and clothes.
