The Linkage between Sustainable Development Goals 9 and 11: Examining the Association between Sustainable Urbanization and Intellectual Property Rights Protection

Xing Gao et al.

Summary: This study examines the relationship between sustainable urbanization and the protection of intellectual property rights (IPRs). Using the Huaihai economic zone in China as a case study, the study finds a positive correlation between sustainable urbanization and IPR protection. Factors such as economic growth structure, technological progress, economic agglomeration, and social welfare enhancement play important roles in this relationship. The study also identifies significant spatial spillover effects of sustainable urbanization on IPR protection and the negative impact of foreign direct investment (FDI).

Environmental Impacts of Personal Protective Clothing Used to Combat COVID- 19

Mohammad Abbas Uddin et al.

Summary: Personal protective clothing is crucial for shielding users from highly infectious diseases, but the environmental impacts of single-use plastic-based protective clothing are significant. Despite environmental concerns, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a surge in the use of disposable protective clothing, potentially exacerbating oceanic plastic pollution. Therefore, fundamental changes in business models are needed to address these issues, such as increasing the use of reusable protective clothing.

Assessing long- and short-run dynamic interplay among balance of trade, aggregate economic output, real exchange rate, and CO2 emissions in Pakistan

Munir Ahmad et al.

Summary: The study found that balance of trade and real exchange rate have a mitigation effect on CO2 emissions in both the long run and short run, while aggregate economic output has a driving effect on CO2 emissions in both periods. In the short run, balance of trade and real exchange rate have varying effects on aggregate economic output, while in the long run, they have a strengthening influence. Additionally, there is a bidirectional causality between CO2 emissions and aggregate economic output, and balance of trade and aggregate economic output, with a unidirectional causality from real exchange rate to balance of trade and aggregate economic output.

Energy trilemma based prioritization of waste-to-energy technologies: Implications for post-COVID-19 green economic recovery in Pakistan

Syed Ahsan Ali Shah et al.

Summary: As lockdown eases in Pakistan, economic activities have resumed and there is a risk of carbon output surging past pre-COVID-19 levels if business continues as usual. It is crucial to shift towards a green economic recovery to limit carbon emissions and prevent future crises. Utilizing waste-to-energy as an alternative green fuel for sustainable energy transition may be an effective way forward.

Fossil CO2 emissions in the post-COVID-19 era

Corinne Le Quere et al.

Summary: Five years after the adoption of the Paris Climate Agreement, global CO2 emissions growth has started to slow down. The trajectory of global CO2 emissions has been drastically altered by the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. New policy choices are needed to address the contradictory effects of post-COVID-19 investments in fossil fuel-based infrastructure and the recent strengthening of climate targets to sustain a decline in global emissions in the post-COVID-19 era.

COVID-19 implications on household income and food security in Kenya and Uganda: Findings from a rapid assessment

Monica K. Kansiime et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on household income and food security in Kenya and Uganda. Results show that income shocks and worsened food security were prevalent, with vulnerable households more likely to adopt food-based coping strategies. Membership in savings and loan groups was associated with less income shocks and reduced food consumption. Recommendations include structural changes in social security systems and support for businesses and food supply chains.
