READ MOREPrefabricated building LCCa can be divided into embodied and operational carbon emissions [38].Embodied carbon, albeit having been variously defined, can be generally classified into three groups: (1) carbon emissions emitted during the cradle-to-gate stage [39]; (2) carbon emissions generated during the cradle to end-of-construction
READ MORERegarding the goal of "carbon peaking and carbon neutrality," an urgent practical problem is how green finance decreases carbon emissions. This paper uses the dynamic spatial Durbin model and China''s provincial panel data to empirically test the impact of green credit on carbon emissions. The results show that green credit effectively curbs

Third, Popkin suggests that siting solar projects on farmland may interfere with an "obvious an important use: growing food."

Despite Portland''s steeper emissions reductions, the data shows how much broader national economic conditions. In 2021, total carbon emissions in Multnomah County were 21% below 1990 levels.
READ MOREIt refers to removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, while carbon capture and use or storage (CCUS) captures carbon from burning fossil fuels, which doesn''t directly reduce atmospheric carbon levels. Carbon removal can either happen via nature-based solutions or tech-based solutions – or a combination of both.

READ MOREMcqueen et al. (2020) stated that e-bikes reduced the share of car trips in all journeys by about 10 percentage points and lowered carbon emissions by 225 kg per year in North America. Some researchers estimated the car kilometres substituted by e-bikes among surveyed users ( Cairns et al., 2017; Moser et al., 2018 ).

READ MORETo reach net zero emissions, we need carbon removal and carbon reduction. Here are some of the ways to achieve both. Scaling up green technologies: Through a partnership with the US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, John Kerry, and over 65 global businesses, the First Movers Coalition has committed $12 billion in
READ MOREGrowth in emissions was still relatively slow until the mid-20th century. In 1950 the world emitted 6 billion tonnes of CO2. By 1990 this had almost quadrupled, reaching more than 20 billion tonnes. Emissions have continued to grow rapidly; we now emit over 35 billion tonnes each year.
READ MOREIt is especially crucial to find ways to reduce emissions from the energy sector, as it is responsible for around three-quarters of global greenhouse gas emissions. Technology and technological
READ MOREAs carbon emissions are one of the major problems of an emission-generating firm (EGF), there is a dire need to reduce them, and so this study fills this gap in the literature by considering the optimal behavior of environmental policies. This research develops policy measures under a duopoly game model such as carbon emission tax
READ MORE1. Introduction Global carbon emissions have continued to increase since 2013, reaching a new peak of 36.3 Gt in 2021 (IEA, 2021).Existing research has shown that fossil fuel consumption, economic growth and energy consumption (Pata and Kumar, 2021; Koop, 1998; Wang et al., 2011; Zaman et al., 2017) are important factors for carbon

READ MOREFor 1.5°C (2.7°F), this means achieving net zero carbon dioxide emissions globally in the early 2050s; for 2°C (3.6°F), it is in the early 2070s. This assessment shows that limiting warming to around 2°C (3.6°F) still requires global greenhouse gas emissions to peak before 2025 at the latest, and be reduced by a quarter by 2030.

Combining these data with a recent mapping effort, we provide the first national comprehensive mangrove carbon stock estimate of 25.7 Tg C.
