In this paper, we investigate the impact of energy use and economic policy uncertainties on environment. To achieve objective, pooled mean group-autoregressive distributed lag methodology (PMG-ARDL) Dumitrescu Hurlin causality test 22 Organisation for Economic Co-operation Development (OECD) countries between 1985 2017. The PMG-ARDL estimation shows that have a positive relationship with carbon...

We describe a strategy for dealing with the challenges of air pollution and climate change capable of adaptation to improved scientific knowledge in the future. The analytical framework for identifying efficient control strategies is described and selected results of cost-effective methods to control SO:z, NO. and CO2 emissions are discussed. 1. INTRODUCflON The eighties saw the emergence of th...

Meeting the EU 2°C climate target: global and regional emission implications This report presents a set of multi-gas emission pathways for different CO2-equivalent concentration stabilization levels, i.e. 400, 450, 500 and 550 ppm CO2-equivalent, along with an analysis of their global and regional reduction implications and implied probability of achieving the EU climate target of 2°C. The effe...

Recent anthropogenic emissions of key atmospheric trace gases (e.g. CO2 and CH4) which absorb infra-red radiation may lead to an increase in mean surface temperatures and potential changes in climate. Although sources of each gas have been evaluated independently, little attention has focused on potential interactions between gases which could influence emission rates. In the current experiment...

In this paper, we take a global view at air pollution looking cities and countries worldwide. We pay special attention the spatial distribution of population its relationship with evolution emissions. To do so, build i) unique large dataset for more than 1200 (big) around world, combining data on emissions CO2 PM2.5 satellite built-up areas, light intensity night grid-cell level last two decade...

This paper empirically investigated the spatiotemporal variations, influencing factors and future emission trends of China's CO2 emissions based on a provincial panel data set. A series of panel econometric models were used taking the period 1995-2011 into consideration. The results indicated that CO2 emissions in China increased over time, and were characterized by noticeable regional discrepa...

Costs and benefits of building energy efficiency are estimated as a means of reducing greenhouse gas emissions in Pittsburgh, PA and Austin, TX. The analysis includes electricity and natural gas consumption, covering 75% of building energy consumption in Pittsburgh and 85% in Austin. Two policy objectives were evaluated: maximize GHG reductions given initial budget constraints or maximize socia...

Introduction: The national trend indicates that various provinces of Iran have experienced in attaining economic growth exclusive of parallel observing a boost in CO2 emissions. It is clear that the effects of CO2 emissions on health indicators such as death rate, infant mortality, and health expenditures have been ignored by policy makers over the last decade.   Methods: This study for ...

Global warming has brought increased attention to the relationship between carbon emissions and economic development. Research on the driving factors of carbon emissions from energy consumption can provide a scientific basis for regional energy savings, as well as emissions reduction and sustainable development. Henan Province is a major agricultural province in China, and it is one of most pop...
