READ MORENuclear energy has become a possible solution to reduce carbon emissions and encourage better energy practices to address this issue [, 23]. For instance, Kim [ 24 ] looked at the inspiration of nuclear energy on CO 2 emission and proposed that it is a more practical and long-term method of lowering carbon emissions in clean energy
READ MOREChina today has an urgent need to develop low-carbon policies that also address local air pollution. This study uses a difference-in-differences model to estimate the extent to which China''s Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), which directly addresses CO2 emissions, has also generated cobenefits by reducing PM2.5. Using monthly PM2.5
