READ MOREThe UK''s CO2 emissions peaked in the year 1973 and have declined by around 38% since 1990, faster than any other major developed country. Here, Carbon Brief presents detailed analysis of the reasons behind the decline in UK CO2 since 1990. The most significant factors include a cleaner electricity mix based on gas and renewables
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
