This study explores whether the Global Value Chain(GVC) participation of 16 emerging market economies (EMEs) from 1995 to 2018 in the manufacturing sector leads to a rise in carbon emissions embodied in trade. The study covers the…
In this article, we are presenting the relationship between environmental pollution and the income level of the selected twenty-four countries. We implemented a data-based research analysis where, for each country, we analyzed the related…
Today e-waste are becoming a major problem for the developing countries. E-waste is defined something as a discarded parts of electronic devices which contains most of the times, hazardous chemicals which is deadly for our environment,…
Air pollution is a major driver of climate change. Anthropogenic emissions from the burning of fossil fuels for transportation and power generation emit large amounts of problematic air pollutants, including Greenhouse Gases (GHGs). Despite…
According to a recent U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory (1), about 42% of 2008 CO$_2$ (a greenhouse gas) emissions in the US were from burning fossil fuels (especially coal) to generate electricity. The 2010 U.S. International Energy…
The proliferation of human-AI ecosystems involving human interaction with algorithms, such as assistants and recommenders, raises concerns about large-scale social behaviour. Despite evidence of such phenomena across several contexts, the…
Urban congestions cause inefficient movement of vehicles and exacerbate greenhouse gas emissions and urban air pollution. Macroscopic emission fundamental diagram (eMFD)captures an orderly relationship among emission and aggregated traffic…
The global transportation industry has become one of the main contributors to air pollution. Consequently, electric buses and green transportation are gaining popularity as crucial steps to reduce emission concerns. Many developed countries…
Agricultural production is the main source of greenhouse gas emissions, and therefore it has a great influence on the dynamics of changes in global warming. The article investigated the problems faced by Czech agricultural producers on the…
Cumulative emissions accounting for carbon-dioxide (CO2) is founded on recognition that global warming in Earth System Models (ESMs) is roughly proportional to cumulative CO2 emissions, regardless of emissions pathway. However, cumulative…
This study proposes the application of a backcasting approach to a mobility model with the aim of defining an optimal decarbonization roadmap. The selected decision variable is the introduction of a fleet of shared autonomous vehicles. The…
Rapid urban population growth drives car travel demand, increasing transport carbon emissions and posing a critical challenge to sustainable development. Although existing studies have demonstrated that eco-routing can reduce individual…
While the transition to electric vehicles (EVs) is essential for decarbonizing the transportation system, the production and distribution of EVs entail substantial carbon costs. To ensure these emissions are accurately accounted for and…
Global temperature is a fundamental climate metric highly correlated with sea level, which implies that keeping shorelines near their present location requires keeping global temperature within or close to its preindustrial Holocene range.…
This paper presents a framework to estimate the environmental impact of solar electric vehicles, accounting for the emissions caused by photovoltaic system production as well as vehicle use. We leverage a cradle-to-gate life cycle…
Averting catastrophic global warming requires decisive action to decarbonize key sectors. Vehicle electrification, alongside renewable energy integration, is a long-term strategy toward zero carbon emissions. However, transitioning to fully…
The transition toward a low-carbon maritime transportation requires understanding lifecycle carbon intensity (CI) of marine fuels. While well-to-tank emissions significantly contribute to total greenhouse gas emissions, many studies lack…
The international Maritime Organization (IMO) has set the target of reducing the emissions from the shipping sector to at least 50% of the 2008 levels. One potential method to cut emissions is to convert vessels to battery powered…
The current emissions from computing are almost 4% of the world total. This is already more than emissions from the airline industry and are projected to rise steeply over the next two decades. By 2040 emissions from computing alone will…
Highways always have a huge impact on the environment, quantifying the level of pollution and calculating the traffic capacity under environmental constraints is an important part of practicing environmental protection. Available traffic…
