We compile a detailed road transport inventory for greenhouse gases and air pollutants to explore energy emissions from alternative policy scenarios for the Kenya road transport sector. In 2010, road transport emissions accounted for 61% of total nitrogen oxides emissions in Kenya, 39% of fine...

Geoengineering options such as negative emissions technologies (NETs) or greenhouse gas removal (GGR) may need to contribute towards decarbonization, by removing CO2 from the atmosphere and storing it safely in biological or geological sinks, or reflecting sunlight back into space via solar...

Switching to energy mixes that use more non-fossil fuels is critical to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to tackle climate change. Climate change poses a major challenge to oil exporting Gulf countries, like the rest of the world, but research on human views on energy and climate change is...

The top three carbon emitters, the European Union (EU), China, and the United States (US), account for up to 50% of the global total, and actions of them are deterministic for the ambitious target of the Paris Agreement. Towards carbon neutrality, while the EU has been consistently leading and...

Emission reduction is expected to increase companies’ competitiveness; however, this postulate is still debatable. On one side, the reduction is believed to reduce costs from inefficiency, but companies need expensive investment that may increase the costs of capital. The Indonesian government...

Agriculture, forestry and other land use (AFOLU) represent 22% of global greenhouse gas emissions. To meet the objectives of the Paris Agreement, the AFOLU sector greenhouse gases must be dramatically reduced and eventually transformed to net negative CO2e within this century. The...

Mexico's current climate change policy sets the country on a development pathway which is inconsistent with the goals of the Paris Agreement. The Deep Decarbonization methodology has been used to develop an alternative whole-economy pathway to 2050 consistent with limiting warming to between 1.5...

As the only clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient basic load energy, nuclear energy has been increasingly developed in major nuclear power nations around world. At the same time, nuclear energy also plays a positive role in responding to global climate change. After the Fukushima nuclear...

The study examines the relationship between trade openness and carbon dioxide emissions in the cumulative risks context for China's economic development and the European Union. Hypotheses derived from a review of the literature substantiate the following key findings: (1) A reduction in CO2...

When establishing national climate change response policies, conflicts between various stakeholders may arise. Therefore, we need a collaborative climate change governance to coordinate stakeholders' opinions. Many countries have formed and operated committee-type governance to respond to...
