The emission rate of carbon dioxide (CO2) depends on many factors but mainly on the activity level (metabolic rate) of occupants. In this study, we examined two other factors that may influence the CO2 emission
Five years after the adoption of the Paris Climate Agreement, growth in global CO2 emissions has begun to falter. The pervasive disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic have radically altered the trajectory of global CO2 emissions. Contradictory effects of
HelpsReduceCO2EmissionsforaBetterndSafeEnvironment There’s only one planet Earth, and to the best of our collective knowledge, it’s the only planet that supports life as we know it. While colonizing and terraforming planets like Mars sounds like an intriguing prospect for the future of humanity...
When the electricity markets are opening to increased international trade and the environment is regarded as a scarce resource and valued as a good, the use of electricity can no longer be considered as CO2-free or cheap in Sweden. A combination of environmental fees and emission rights of CO2...
Article amended on 26 March 2025 We corrected a statement about a modelled scenario where CO2 emissions end quickly. Topics: climate change More fromNew Scientist Explore the latest news, articles and features Environment The world could experience a year above 2°C of warm...
effects on CO2emissions, its spillover effects on neighboring countries are significantly positive. This supports the pollution haven hypothesis, suggesting that improving governance in a country reduces domestic CO2emissions while increasing emissions in neighboring countries. The study emphasizes the need ...
Here we analyse three alternative CO2 emission-mitigation pathways for the global plastics sector until 2100, covering the entire life cycle from production to waste management. Our results show that, through bio-based carbon sequestration in plastic products, a combination of biomass use and ...
Section 3 introduces the database and the methods used to calculate elasticities as well as the policy simulation for our analysis. Section 4 presents the elasticity estimates and the projected emission reductions as well as potential distributional effects following the introduction of our tax, both ...
that population growth, economic progress, livestock and energy utilization have constructive interaction to CO2emission, while the variables food production, urban and rural population growth exposed an adverse impact to CO2emission. On the basis of this analysis, we will address the strategic ...
The provinces with the largest domestic net emission outflows are mainly in poorer western China (Fig.1a, by province), while those with the largest domestic net emission inflows are mainly located in richer eastern regions (Fig.1b, by province). The western provinces mainly export high-carbon...
