Summary: Using a panel vector autoregressive model, this study explores the complex patterns of volatility transmissions among oil price, agricultural energy consumption, biofuel consumption, food production, greenhouse gas emissions, and GDP per capita in a sample of 157 countries. Agricultural energy consumption is found to be the dominant gross volatility emitter, while greenhouse gas emissions are the dominant gross volatility receiver. Monitoring the interactions among these sectors is crucial given their significant impact on welfare changes.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of sustainable water and energy management on greenhouse gas emissions and economic benefits at six small-to-medium airports in the Adriatic region. The results showed that the airports are taking positive steps towards sustainability, with a higher share of natural gas in heating fuel and green electricity tariffs. Efforts to achieve zero-emission airports should focus on decarbonizing motor fuels and improving energy efficiency and clean energy for heating and electricity.

Summary: This paper explores the effects of CO2 emissions, globalization energy usage, trade openness, and urbanization on economic growth in Japan using new econometric techniques. The study finds that urbanization, CO2 emissions, globalization, and energy usage have a positive impact on economic growth, while no significant link is found between trade openness and economic growth. The wavelet coherence approach reveals positive co-movements between economic growth and the regressors, as well as a one-way causality from CO2 emissions and energy usage to economic growth.

Summary: Due to globalization and international trade, water-based trade and marine energy consumption are rapidly increasing. Reducing marine emissions has become a top priority in European nations. This study investigates the relationship between marine energy consumption, seaborne trade, and GHG emissions in Northern European nations from 2005 to 2017 using an extended EKC model and proxy variables for seaborne trade. The findings show an inverted U-shaped relationship between maritime GHG emissions and economic development in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Energy consumption directly increases marine GHG emissions, with the most severe impact in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Container throughput, liner shipping connectivity index, and trade openness have a positive impact on marine GHG emissions, particularly in Denmark and Sweden. Driscoll-Kraay standard errors and robust standard error techniques are employed to ensure the validity and consistency of the results.

Summary: International trade accelerates the separation between consumption and production, leading to carbon transfer. To tackle the geographic flow of emissions, carbon emissions must be quantified based on global value chains. A case study in Japan reveals that China is the main source of carbon emissions, and household consumption accounts for the majority of consumption-based emissions, with the service, transport, and industry sectors being the primary sources of domestic emissions.

Summary: The concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is rapidly increasing, causing harmful effects on living organisms, the environment, and ecological balance. This study focuses on India, one of the top contributors to global greenhouse gas emissions, and uses various metaheuristic algorithms to forecast the country's future greenhouse gas trajectory. The study collects economic and energy indicators of India from 1990 to 2018 and predicts CO2, CH4, F-gases, N2O, and total greenhouse gas emissions separately by the year 2050. The results suggest that greenhouse gas emissions in India are projected to increase significantly by 2050 compared to current data.

Summary: As the global population grows, the demand for food, energy, and water will increase significantly. However, limited land availability and competition for solar resources pose challenges to resource generation technologies. In the United States, both agriculture and solar energy production have adopted densification schemes to improve yields and energy output per unit of land. This research proposes an Agrivoltaic food and energy coproduction architecture that optimizes power generation while maintaining crop productivity by implementing ideal anti-tracking during critical growth periods. This technology offers a viable pathway for widespread solar implementation throughout the contiguous United States.

Summary: The continuous growth of global electricity penetration has provided modern energy for alleviating energy poverty, but its impact on carbon neutrality has been overlooked. The research reveals that clean electricity from traditional fossil energy and renewable energy has a positive influence on the greenhouse effect. Eradicating energy poverty can effectively alleviate the greenhouse effect, especially in non-Belt and Road Initiative (B&RI) nations.
