Summary: A study found patterns among CO2 emissions, economic growth, and employment structure across 297 Chinese cities through machine learning. The research showed that industrial transitions are not always the best option to decouple economic growth from CO2 emissions, but sustainable technical enhancement in the manufacturing and construction industries can promote decoupling and stabilize social employment.

Summary: The reduction of GHG emissions is a priority for EU countries, with studies showing financial support and environmental taxes as effective measures. Older EU member states with focused financial policies on reducing energy consumption have shown greater reductions in GHG emissions compared to others. Central and Eastern European countries have lower environmental taxes and spending on environmental protection, while higher GDP per capita countries tend to have greater GHG emissions due to higher consumption and energy use.

Summary: This paper examines the impact of various social and economic factors on sustainable development as a holistic process. Using data from 27 EU member states during 2012-2020, the study employs econometric modeling and regression analysis to identify the drivers of sustainable development in the EU. The results indicate that corruption does not significantly affect sustainability, while economic freedom and employment in science and research positively contribute to sustainable development. Furthermore, GDP per capita hinders sustainability transition, while median income per capita and life expectancy have a positive impact on sustainable development.

Summary: In this study, a geographically weighted stacking ensemble learning approach was developed to generate gridded GDP data. The approach takes into account the geographical properties of input variables and locally fuses the predictions of three base models using geographically weighted regression. The results of a case study in China showed that the proposed approach outperformed traditional methods in GDP downscaling. Therefore, this method provides a valuable option for generating gridded GDP data and has significant implications for other applications.

Summary: Environmental taxes, innovations, and renewable energy consumption have significant effects on CO2 emissions in EU countries. Environmental taxes have both positive and negative impacts on CO2 emissions across different quantiles. Renewable energy consumption significantly reduces carbon emissions. Eco-innovations have a negative influence on carbon emissions, indicating that they can significantly reduce CO2 emissions.
