Summary: The EU is a leader in using financial innovation to tackle environmental challenges and ensure sustainability. This study examines the diverse impacts of financial innovations on CO2 emissions within the EU context using the Method of Moments Quantile Regression. It also assesses the environmental Kuznets hypothesis over the period of 2000-2020. Four proxies for financial innovation were utilized: M3/M1 ratio, M2/M1 ratio, percentage change in domestic credit to the private sector (% of GDP), and a composite index derived from Principal Component Analysis. The findings suggest that increasing three financial innovation proxies effectively improves environmental quality. Notably, M3/M1 has a stronger negative effect on CO2 emissions in low quantiles, while M2/M1 exhibits a stronger negative effect on CO2 emissions in high quantiles. Therefore, an allocation of more M2 and M3 resources towards green projects is recommended for financing in countries with varying levels of CO2 emissions.

Summary: Two key issues in the debate on technological sovereignty in the EU are access to emerging technologies and managing strategic dependencies in global value chains. This paper introduces and discusses the Technological Sovereignty Index (TSI), a multidimensional synthetic metric that measures a country's exposure to specific technologies and vulnerabilities. The paper validates the TSI by analyzing the EU's position in the global value chain of advanced 5G mobile communications, highlighting the hardware and component segments. Findings suggest a weak degree of technological sovereignty due to a lack of specialized human capital and outsourcing trends, but potential untapped capabilities could partially offset strategic shortcomings.

Summary: Public capital is crucial in promoting enterprise technological innovation, especially for green economic growth. This study uses a nonlinear moderating effect model and an intermediating effect model to examine the influence and transmission mechanism of public capital on enterprise technological innovation. The findings indicate that public capital significantly promotes enterprise technological innovation, with economic public capital playing a more substantial role compared to social public capital. Industrial agglomeration has a nonlinear moderating effect on the innovation impact of public capital.

Summary: Using the pilot construction of innovative provinces in China as an exogenous shock, this study finds that the target responsibility system has a significant and positive impact on regional innovation capacity, which is robust to various checks. Additionally, this impact is stronger in cities with higher marketization level, higher initial innovation capacity, and more bank branches. Mechanism tests in this study show that the credit supply of local banks and fiscal expenditures on science and technology increase after this reform. These findings suggest that the increased emphasis of governments on innovation partly contributes to China's patent boom.

Summary: The aim of this research is to investigate the impact of intellectual property rights (IPR) on green technological innovation in China. The study utilizes a mixed-method approach, combining both qualitative and quantitative methods, to provide empirical evidence on the subject matter. The findings show that IPR protection has a favorable impact on firms' green technological innovation, with research and development (R&D) input and foreign investment entry serving as the main channels of influence. The human capital and finance capability of firms can also moderate the link between IPR protection and green technological innovation. Heterogeneity tests indicate that private firms, exporting firms, and firms in monopoly industries have a more significant promotional effect of IPR protection on green technological innovation.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of farmers' participation in different short food supply chains (SFSCs) on synthetic pesticide use and crop yields. The findings show that farmers who sell part of their crops through direct-to-consumer channels use significantly fewer synthetic pesticides compared to those who sell through long food supply chains. However, there is no evidence that farmers involved in direct-to-retailer channels use significantly fewer synthetic pesticides. Additionally, there is no indication that SFSC participation affects crop yields.

Summary: This study uses the generalized method of moments (GMM) model to explore the relationship between the digital economy and energy vulnerability in 110 economies. The findings suggest that the digital economy effectively reduces energy vulnerability, with digital infrastructure and social impact being the main contributors. Furthermore, the digital economy helps upgrade the industrial structure and financial development level, thereby reducing energy vulnerability. Additionally, the negative impact of the digital economy on energy vulnerability is more significant in regions with higher income levels.

Summary: Finding ways to steer consumers towards vegetarian and plant-based meals is important for reducing the environmental impact of diets. In this study, we investigated the use of nudges in restaurants to increase sales of vegetarian and plant-based dishes. We found that removing symbols for these dishes increased sales, while adding a low emissions symbol had no effect. However, when the nudge was made transparent through a statement, sales significantly increased. These findings support the use of nudges as cost-effective interventions to address unsustainable food consumption in the hospitality sector.

Summary: This study explores the vulnerability of livelihoods to a reduction in economic output and introduces a novel analytic framework to describe their relationship. The study finds that the vulnerability is not inevitable but arises from insecurity in wage labor, adequate incomes, and pensions. These conditions are primarily due to profit maximization and neoliberal welfare and labor policies. The study identifies a range of interventions to overcome this vulnerability and make stringent environmental policies socially sustainable and politically palatable.

Summary: This paper investigates the impact of European Union regulations on e-waste exports. The findings suggest that taxation is ineffective in reducing e-waste exports and may even increase them. Additionally, high dependence on foreign raw materials and sub-standard waste collection systems contribute to the increase in e-waste exports. Therefore, investing in e-waste collection facilities can better utilize the valuable resources in this waste.

Summary: Efforts to decouple economic growth from resource use and negative environmental impacts have yielded inconclusive results, partially due to the uncertainties in historical measurement arising from definitional changes to GDP. This study examines the impact of GDP vintages on decoupling results and finds that a significant number of countries switch between relative decoupling and recoupling, and that GDP vintages also affect environmental Kuznets curve results and the decline in global energy intensity. The inconsistencies in economic measurement introduce ambiguity into historical decoupling evidence and model projections into the future.
