Summary: The study explores the role of carbon-tax policy in promoting sustainable consumption of biofuels and reducing carbon emissions in air passenger transport. The findings suggest that setting appropriate expected emission levels and carbon tax prices is crucial for encouraging airlines to use biofuels and achieving carbon emissions reduction.

Summary: Air travel accounts for a significant and increasing portion of global greenhouse gas emissions. Different methods of allocating aircraft emissions to passengers can have implications for carbon budgets, offsets, and taxes. This study compares emissions allocated based on seating arrangements with emissions allocated based on fare paid by individual travellers. It finds that fare-based accounting better reflects the economic drivers of airline emissions and supports more equitable climate action.

Summary: Using China's listed firms as data, this study examines the impact of tax incentives on corporate financialization through the natural experiment of accelerated depreciation policy. The findings indicate that the policy significantly decreases corporate financialization. The research also supports the theory that the decreased cost of investment in fixed assets, resulting from the policy, reduces the attraction to financial investment.

Summary: This paper aims to demonstrate that removing fossil fuel subsidies can achieve significant emission reductions without negatively impacting producers and consumers, similar to the effects of carbon taxation. By using a dynamic intertemporal CGE model of Ireland, the study compares the outcomes of removing eight Irish fossil fuel subsidies and increasing the carbon tax to euro100 per tonne by 2030. The results show that both policies lead to similar emission reductions, but carbon taxation has lower negative impacts on GDP and investment, while subsidy removal has lower negative impacts on employment, higher revenues, improved trade balance, and lower debt. The study also highlights the importance of excluding households' subsidies from removal to alleviate distributional impacts without compromising emission reduction.

Summary: This analysis proposes the concept of climate wealth borrowing and quantifies the country-specific present value of climate change impacts arising from energy and industrial CO2 emissions of the period of 1950-2018. It finds that the United States and China have been responsible for the largest shares of global climate wealth borrowing since 1950, while the per-capita pattern is quite different.

Summary: This paper contributes to the theoretical understanding of strategic interactions of governments on global markets for fossil resources and for capital. We analyze carbon taxes and subsidies and their impact on national welfare in a two country model with markets for capital and fossil resources, and asymmetric resource endowments. We demonstrate that capital mobility has a taming effect on the incentives to tax and to subsidize resources, and that the Nash equilibrium of carbon tax competition is the least desirable outcome in terms of social welfare. Cooperation makes Pareto improvements over the Nash equilibrium possible.

Summary: Blue carbon is not a solution to climate change due to its minimal effect, the liability of existing sediment carbon stock, and the mismatch in timescale between ancient fossil fuel emissions and vegetation uptake.

Summary: Global- and national-scale inventories of CO2 emissions are important for countries to reduce emissions. The CDIAC-FF dataset, covering all countries and years since 1751, has been updated with changes in calculating CO2 emissions and analyzed for trends and unique factors driving emissions in countries. Diverse strategies are needed to mitigate carbon emissions and anthropogenic climate change.

Summary: The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's mitigation scenarios database is a valuable resource for policymakers, but there are variations in models and scenario designs. This analysis focuses on scenarios with warming limited to 2 degrees C or below, examining the feasibility and trajectory of different fossil fuel reduction pathways. The findings emphasize the importance of clear reduction benchmarks in coal, oil, and gas production and use, along with other climate mitigation targets.

Summary: China has implemented various carbon reduction policies and now requires an effective and systematic collaborative carbon reduction mechanism. Carbon emissions from the Yangtze River Delta region were analyzed and the pressures to and potential of carbon emissions reduction were summarized. The implementation of carbon tax policies was proposed, along with other mechanisms to promote energy transformation and industrial upgrades.

Summary: There are significant differences in the climate effects of carbon dioxide emissions from deforestation disturbance and fossil fuel burning. Forest regrowth can lead to a return of atmospheric CO2 concentration to preindustrial levels, while fossil fuel emissions can result in long-term warming and a higher atmospheric CO2 concentration.

Summary: Heralded as a groundbreaking experiment in carbon tax policy, the Canadian province of British Columbia implemented a carbon tax in 2008. However, new data suggests that CO2 emissions and fossil fuel consumption have actually increased in recent years. Using synthetic control analysis, we find that contrary to theoretical expectations, CO2 emissions and gasoline consumption rose in British Columbia compared to the synthetic control, but there was a reduced share of economic activity in the energy industry.

Summary: This study estimated the costs of constructing and operating new CCUS facilities on the Texas and Louisiana Gulf Coast and compared them to U.S. tax incentives. The results suggest that federal tax incentives could support significant CCUS development in the Gulf region, but there are potential policy barriers that need to be addressed.

Summary: The Russia-Ukraine conflict exposes the EU's reliance on fossil fuel imports from Russia. Using a global computable general equilibrium model, this study examines the impact of embargoing Russian fossil fuels on CO2 emissions and GDP. The findings show that embargoes would result in a more than 10% reduction in CO2 emissions in the EU and slight increases in Russia, but both regions would experience GDP losses. Implementing demand-side response within the EU could increase CO2 emission savings and mitigate GDP losses.

Summary: The transport sector in Europe is the largest source of CO2 emissions, with a significant impact on human health. Mediterranean countries tend to have lower emissions per vehicle, but this does not necessarily correlate with motorization rates. Research suggests that implementing vehicle taxation can play a crucial role in reducing emissions in Mediterranean countries.

Summary: Many studies have been conducted to examine the direct effects of airports on local economic development, however, there is little solid evidence on spatial spillover effects, especially in the context of China's airport system. This paper fills this gap by analyzing the spatial spillover effects of China's main hub airports on economic development, finding that increasing flight frequency of existing air services has a greater impact on GDP compared to expanding air services to new destinations. The study contributes to the literature by presenting new evidence on the spatial spillover effects of airports on economic development in Chinese cities.
