Modeling the impact of green energy consumption and natural resources rents on economic growth in Africa: An analysis of dynamic panel ARDL and the feasible generalized least squares estimators

Sulemana Mumuni et al.

Summary: The study simultaneously assesses the impact of green energy consumption and natural resource rents on economic growth in Africa. The results indicate that green energy consumption has a growth-limiting effect in the short run and a growth-enhancing effect in the long run. CO2 emissions have a significant positive impact on economic growth, while fossil fuel combustion negatively affects growth. Natural resource rents have a growth-enhancing effect in the short run and a growth-limiting effect in the long run.

The role of HEIs to achieve SDG7 goals from Netzero campuses: case studies and possibilities in Brazil

Sidnei Matana Junior et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the practices of Brazilian higher education institutions (HEIs) in developing net zero energy buildings (NZEBs). The findings show that lighting and air conditioning retrofit are common practices for reducing energy consumption, and photovoltaic solar energy is the most commonly used renewable energy practice. However, the lack of policy support and data transparency in Brazil may hinder the adoption of similar strategies by other HEIs.

Lynda Dunlop et al.

Summary: This paper analyzes the sustainability and climate change strategy for education and children's services systems in England, finding that the government's proposals have a strong focus on economic factors and science knowledge, while neglecting the political dimensions of environmental issues.

A framework of measures to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions in freight transport: Systematic literature review from a Manufacturer?s perspective

Philipp Miklautsch et al.

Summary: The publication of the IPCC's sixth assessment report confirms that the increase in surface temperature over the past century is indeed man-made, and emphasizes the need for significant changes to meet the goals set in the Paris climate agreement. This study focuses on the industrial and transportation sectors, which are major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. While the energy-transportation nexus has been extensively studied, there is a lack of systematic research on emission mitigation in the intersection of the industrial and transportation sectors, particularly in the context of manufacturing firms' supply chains. To address this gap, the study conducts a systematic literature review and identifies 215 measures that can be adopted by manufacturing companies or their logistics service providers to decarbonize their transport operations. The findings highlight the importance of aspects such as drivetrain and fuel selection, but also reveal the lack of consensus on the reduction potential of these measures due to various factors. The study also points out the need for further investigation into the role of human factors in decarbonizing the economy.

Global adaptation readiness and income mitigate sectoral climate change vulnerabilities

Samuel Asumadu Sarkodie et al.

Summary: Climate change has become a global burden that requires strong institutional quality and willingness to mitigate its impacts. This study examines climate vulnerability across different sectors and finds that high-income economies with high readiness have low vulnerability, while developing economies with low income have high exposure and sensitivity to climate change. These findings can help prioritize limited resources in addressing extreme climate change vulnerabilities.

How and when higher climate change risk perception promotes less climate change inaction

Changcheng Wang et al.

Summary: Higher levels of climate change risk perception are associated with less climate change inaction, mediated by enhanced climate change belief and heightened environmental efficacy. The sequential mediating effect of climate change belief and environmental efficacy is stronger among those with higher levels of mindfulness. These findings contribute to advancing research on climate change inaction and extend existing models in the field.

Carbon footprinting of universities worldwide: Part I-objective comparison by standardized metrics

Eckard Helmers et al.

Summary: Universities around the world play a key role in driving innovation towards a carbon-neutral society, yet only a small number of them are collecting and publishing their carbon footprints. This study analyzed comprehensive carbon footprint data from 20 universities globally, identifying key factors contributing to their carbon footprints. By homogenizing carbon footprint performances using various metrics, the study found that some universities have achieved per capita carbon footprints close to or below 1.0 Mt CO2e/person and year, regardless of their size.

Habit and climate change

Bas Verplanken et al.

Summary: Many climate-relevant behaviors are habitual, acquired through repetition in stable contexts. Unsustainable habits serve as barriers to change, but their features also make them desirable for obtaining sustainable behaviors. Informational approaches are generally ineffective for breaking habits, while methods like legislation, incentives, and competitions have shown to be more effective.
