The heightened risk of global warming has attracted the special attention of researchers and policymakers towards the linkage between economic growth and environmental protection. Thus, this study examines the effects of FDI inflow, GDP, trade openness, urbanisation level, and nuclear energy...

This paper provides a review of the literature on competitiveness and leakage concerns associated with differentiated climate abatement commitments among countries. The literature reviewed is not exhausted, but it is sufficient to provide a balanced view of both academics and policy circles....

China is appraised to have the world's largest exploitable reserves of shale gas, although several legal, regulatory, environmental and investment-related issues will likely restrain its scope. China's capacity to successfully face these hurdles and produce commercial shale gas will have a...
