Summary: This paper explores the influence factors of carbon trading companies applying blockchain technology by combining theoretical deduction with an empirical test. The results show that there is a regional imbalance in the number of companies participating in carbon trading pilots, and carbon pilot companies have a stronger willingness to use blockchain technology with a shorter learning time. Therefore, priority can be given to applying blockchain technology in carbon pilot industries with strong use willingness.

Summary: Climate change is a major challenge for mankind, and shipping contributes roughly 3% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, equivalent to Germany's total emissions. The International Maritime Organization predicts further increase in GHG emissions from shipping as international trade recovers and develops in India, China, and Africa. This study examines the relationship between the carbon finance market and shipping, providing important insights for policymakers and shipowners.

Summary: This paper examines the impact of China's pilot carbon emission trading scheme (CETS) on the total factor productivity (TFP) of enterprises, and discusses the mediating role of government participation and carbon trading market efficiency. The study finds that CETS has a significant positive effect on enterprises' TFP, which has been maintained for six years. It also shows that government participation and carbon trading market efficiency moderate the positive impact of CETS on TFP.

Summary: This study examines the impact of carbon trading pilot policy (CTPP) on carbon emissions (CO2) and air pollution (Ap) using the difference in differences method (DID) utilizing panel data from 30 Chinese areas spanning from 2008 to 2020. The results indicate that CTPP implementation can effectively decrease CO2 and Ap. CTPP can reduce CO2 and Ap through positive incentive effects that promote industrial structure upgrading and drive technological progress. Moreover, CTPP exhibits significant regional variation, with CTPP significantly reducing CO2 in both the eastern and central and western regions. CTPP do not show an effective reduction in Ap in the eastern region, while effectively reduce Ap in central and western regions.

Summary: Water scarcity and carbon emissions are two pressing issues facing the world. Water rights trading (WRT) and carbon emissions trading (CET) can alleviate pressure on resources and promote sustainable development. This study analyzed four cities in southern China to explore the relationship between sectors under the effect of WRT and CET, using a tripartite evolutionary game model. The results showed that agricultural net benefits significantly impact strategic choices and promote the mutual coupling of sectors.

Summary: Climate change has disastrous impacts on the environment, with harmful gas emissions being a leading cause. Although many countries have signed carbon trading schemes, they have fallen short of their goals due to manipulation and lack of integrity.

Summary: This study constructs a P2P trading mode for the real-time coupling of the electric-carbon market. It introduces a novel indicator, Green Energy, and dynamically adjusts the carbon price according to real-time information. The study also utilizes blockchain technology for data sharing. Results show significant improvements in social welfare, renewable energy utilization efficiency and carbon emissions reduction compared to traditional trading modes.

Summary: This study explores the co-movement effect of returns among the four most representative global carbon emissions trading schemes (ETSs) and analyzes the correlations and time lag characteristics of returns in these ETSs. The findings suggest that there are certain volatility characteristics in the trading prices of these ETSs, and the linkage between ETS trading rates varies across frequencies and evolves dynamically. The study also emphasizes the importance of establishing ETS and improving risk prevention awareness among market participants.

Summary: The Chinese government implemented an energy-consumption permit trading scheme (ECPTS) and a carbon emissions trading scheme (ETS) in Fujian Province. The study found that coastal cities dominate the allocation of energy-consumption permits and carbon allowances, leading to economic inequality among cities in Fujian. However, by introducing the principle of equity, the allocation structure of energy-consumption permits can be adjusted to mitigate the distributional inequality in economic development rights among cities.

Summary: The implementation of Personal Carbon Trading (PCT) shows promise in reducing emissions through changes in consumption patterns and motivating lifestyle modifications. However, current research focuses largely on theoretical assumptions and public attitudes, leaving gaps in the quantification of carbon emissions and the availability of large-scale case studies. To address this, a framework is proposed to clarify how PCT can stimulate individual emission reductions on the consumption side.

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 study examines the price drivers in Chinese carbon emissions trading scheme pilots using structural breaks test and autoregressive distributed lag model. The results indicate that oversupply of allowances, low auction prices, and use of China certified emission reductions will cause carbon prices to decline significantly; while the expansion of carbon market and centralized trading will increase carbon prices. Oil prices are positively correlated with carbon prices, coal prices are negatively related, and prices of chemical and nonferrous products also affect carbon prices in different regions.
