Summary: Sea surface temperature (SST) variability of El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) plays a crucial role in its global impact. The IPCC's sixth assessment shows that there is no systematic change in ENSO SST variability under different emission scenarios, but there is a robust increase in century-long ENSO SST variability under various IPCC emission scenarios. Models indicate increased variability in the 21st century compared to the 20th century.

Summary: This study explores the application of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) in tourism from an integrated perspective and confirms the importance of presence as the core feature of AR/VR in tourism. The study findings show that presence has both direct and indirect effects on tourism experience through the mediators of value perception and psychological response. Additionally, the study identifies simulation type and social interaction as positive moderators of the effect of presence on tourism experience, while prior visitation has a negative moderating effect.

Summary: This study examines the impact of economic complexity, nonrenewable energy, and renewable energy consumption on the ecological footprint in China. The results show that renewable energy, non-renewable energy use, economic growth, and economic complexity have a positive effect on the ecological footprint. In addition, these factors can significantly predict variations in the ecological footprint at different quantiles. It suggests that policymakers should focus on promoting the transition to more eco-friendly energy sources and technologies to achieve sustainable development goals.

Summary: The spike in energy prices and feared natural gas supplies shortage in the winter of 2021/2022 indicate the limited effectiveness of existing energy measures in ensuring energy security for the European Union. The absence of a unified external energy security policy has made it challenging for the EU to adopt a common energy position in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. While decarbonization efforts need to be accelerated to achieve the EU's 2050 goals, the Union must also prioritize supporting member states' energy security, including their external dimension, during the transition period.

Summary: The study used a dynamic panel threshold regression model to investigate the relationship between official development assistance and carbon emissions in 59 low-income and lower-middle-income countries. The research found that the urbanization level of recipient countries has a threshold effect on the relationship between official development assistance and carbon emissions. Additionally, the conditional convergence level of carbon emission growth in low-urbanization areas is significantly higher than that in high-urbanization areas.

Summary: In September 2020, the Chinese central government announced a new policy emphasizing the development of hydrogen energy and fuel cell commercial vehicles. This policy is significantly different from the strategies of other leading economies in the sector. The study aims to provide insights into the justification behind this policy by developing quantitative models to assess the economic feasibility of using hydrogen energy produced from renewable sources in the road transport sector in China.

Summary: The development of the digital economy has direct and indirect impacts on energy consumption, promoting an increase in the scale and optimization of the structure of energy consumption. The impact of the digital economy on energy consumption is achieved mainly through its influence on economic growth, energy efficiency, and industrial structure. Additionally, there are evident regional heterogeneity and spatial spillover effects in the impact of digital economy development on energy consumption.

Summary: Strategic petroleum reserves are an important tool to mitigate the risk of oil supply disruptions and geopolitical influence. By using econometric estimation and principal component analysis (PCA), this study measures the physical oil supply risk and strategic petroleum reserves in South Asia aim to enhance social welfare. The findings show that 30% of the crude oil distribution shortfall is attributed to the fluctuation in crude oil costing, resulting in a 40% decrease in GDP and significant social welfare wastage. The study also emphasizes the importance of crude oil accumulation and drawdown in optimizing consumer well-being while maintaining control over oil stockpiles.
