Monetary damages from exposure to particulate matter and carbon dioxide emissions peak later on countries’ development path than total emissions and concentration and may, therefore, make better sustainability metrics according to an analysis of air quality and economic data of 165 countries.
Carbon pricing policies are adopted in many countries around the world to mitigate climate change. This systematic review shows that significant emission reductions of between 5 and 21% are achieved by at least 17 out of 21 reviewed policy schemes.
Investment in climate and energy startups is growing in the United States. Here the authors show that public grants back high-risk areas, and that publicly funded startups exit at higher rates with corporate backing than with other private investment.
The European Commission has set a regulatory benchmark for classifying green hydrogen in the European Union. New research finds that by regulating the power purchase for electrolysers, emission savings from green hydrogen production is ensured, but cost is also affected.
The costs of battery and fuel cell systems for zero-emission trucks are primed to decline much faster than expected, boosting prospects for their fast global diffusion and electrification of freight transport, with battery-electric trucks probably leading.
Nobel prizewinner whose insights into the foibles of human decision-making launched the field of behavioural economics and sent ripples through all social sciences.
