Summary: This study explores the influence of the green credit policy (GCP) on green enterprises' green innovation behavior and the moderating effect of climate policy uncertainty (CPU). The findings show that the GCP enhances both strategic and substantive green innovation behavior in green enterprises, with the former having a greater promotion effect. Higher levels of CPU positively moderate the relationship between the GCP and green innovation. However, the perception of CPU weakens the green innovation effect of the GCP. Moreover, managerial myopia and government R&D subsidies have heterogeneous effects on the green innovation effect of the GCP in a context of increasing CPU and CPU perception.

Summary: The study investigates the impact of economic policy uncertainty, GDP per capita, renewable energy consumption, and foreign direct investment on environmental sustainability. Panel data analysis techniques are used to analyze data from a panel of 19 countries from 2001 to 2019. The results show that economic policy uncertainty, GDP per capita, renewable energy consumption, and foreign direct investment significantly impact GHG emissions and confirm the existence of an environmental Kuznets curve and pollution haven hypothesis in the selected economies. The findings highlight the need for policymakers to consider the interplay between economic growth, foreign investment, and environmental policy in addressing climate change, and suggest that reducing policy uncertainty and promoting sustainable economic growth can mitigate the effects of climate change.

Summary: China is promoting green economic transformation through environmental policy adjustment. This study examines the impact of environmental policy uncertainty on corporate green innovation using option theory and empirical tests. The findings show that in China's institutional context, environmental policy uncertainty enhances corporate green innovation and stimulates corporations to improve their green innovation levels. The mechanism test demonstrates that environmental policy uncertainty increases corporate risk taking, thereby stimulating green innovation. The study reveals the important link between the external institutional environment and corporate green innovation in emerging economies.

Summary: The idea of using energy taxes and innovation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote sustainable energy future is becoming popular. A study examines the asymmetric impact of energy taxes and innovation on CO2 emissions in China using linear and nonlinear ARDL econometric methods. The results show that long-term increases in energy taxes, energy technological innovation, and financial development lead to reduced CO2 emissions, while economic development leads to increased CO2 emissions. In the short run, energy taxes and energy technological innovation reduce CO2 emissions, while financial development promotes CO2 emissions. Chinese policymakers should focus on promoting energy taxes and innovations to achieve green sustainability.

Summary: Camel production in Pakistan is hindered by various tick-borne diseases, with ticks serving as carriers of pathogens that can infect humans. This study aimed to determine the tick species and their infestation rates on camels in order to recommend appropriate tick control measures. A total of 1800 engorged and semi-engorged ticks were collected from 1000 camels, with a tick infestation intensity of 3.191 per animal. The ticks belonged to six genera and 13 species, with female camels showing higher rates of infestation. The perineum was found to be the preferred site for ticks, and tick burden varied among different camel breeds. Summer was the most favorable season for tick infestation. These findings highlight the need for further investigations on camels in different regions of Pakistan.

Summary: The paper proposes a novel deep learning-based prediction framework, aTCN-LSTM, for accurate cooling load predictions. The framework utilizes a gate-controlled multi-head temporal convolutional network and a sparse probabilistic self-attention mechanism with a bidirectional long short-term memory network to capture both temporal and long-term dependencies in the cooling load sequences. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method, which can serve as an effective guide for HVAC chiller scheduling and demand management initiatives.
