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...

We analyze the energy market and ETS outcomes in Kazakhstan, a major fossil-fuel exporter. The energy market was characterized by the presence of large state-owned enterprises, prevalence of fossil fuel subsidies, and dominance of coal-fired generation. Despite the ETS, Kazakhstan's CO2...

Climate-driven market interdependencies critically influence emission reduction strategies, yet the causal mechanisms linking carbon, fossil, and clean energy markets remain poorly quantified -a knowledge gap impairing risk-aware policymaking and sustainable investments. This study uses the...

This paper explores the intricate interplay of socio-economic drivers influencing environmental sustainability in oil-importing countries, examining CO2 emissions and greenhouse gas concentrations over the period from 2000 to 2021. Employing the Feasible Generalized Least Squares (FGLS) and...

Energy diversification, a critical strategy for environmental protection, has been surprisingly understudied in academic discourse. This paper seeks to address this gap by investigating the relationship between energy diversification and climate change in 76 countries from 1990 to 2020. We...

Accelerating the net-zero economy requires understanding energy consumption patterns, renewable technology attitudes, and acceptance of sustainable energy systems. This study explores how behavioral modification campaigns reduce residential energy use, promote energy-efficient products, and...

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...
