This report estimates the CO2 emissions of freight transport on a hypothetical high-speed rail (HSR) line along the northern route, from Lyon to Warsaw, of a 'European Silk Road' (ESR). Using a methodology consisting of predictions regarding the freight-carrying capacity of the future HSR, and...

This book is about African and Asian cities. Illustrated through selected case cities, the book brings together a rich collection of papers by leading scholars and practitioners in Africa and Asia to offer empirical analysis and up-to-date discussions and assessments of the urban challenges and...

When a country reaches a level of self-awareness about what its future direction is; that is the time to put to pen the plan that will take it there. The National Climate Change Policy (NCCP) is one of those plans for Pakistan, it passed a process where national and internationally renowned...

In this paper, an attempt is made to review recent research on the synergy between climate change and water, specifically the attention paid to this area from the environmental science and climate change academic communities. We scanned the titles of over 22,000 research papers from the top 12...

Dynamic externalities are at the core of many long-term environmental problems, from species preservation to climate change mitigation. We use laboratory experiments to compare welfare outcomes and underlying behavior in games with dynamic externalities under two distinct settings:...

This paper investigates the driving forces, emission trends and reduction potential of China's carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions based on a provincial panel data set covering the years 1995 to 2009. A series of static and dynamic panel data models are estimated, and then an optimal forecasting...
