Since the early 21st century, air quality concerns in the People's Republic of China (PRC) have garnered significant attention from both the public authorities and society. This study investigates the effects of digital environmental monitoring technology on air pollution. Specifically, we...

Commission Decision of 25 February 2016 setting up a Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries, C(2016) 1084, OJ C 74, 26.2.2016, p. 4-10. The Commission may consult the group on any matter relating to marine and fisheries biology, fishing gear technology, fisheries economics,...

Monetary valuation of environmental impacts is crucial to enhance the relationship between green transitions and competitiveness. Assessing societal costs associated to environmental impacts promotes and enables fair comparisons among alternatives. Monetisation approaches can be coupled with...

Anthropogenic environmental impacts substantially threaten the sustainable development of cities and counties. This paper offers an original assessment of the role played by population, economic growth and technology change in the evolution of local air pollution and soil sealing, using the...

This study is a response to a policy request submitted to the EC Knowledge Centre for Biodiversity (KCBD) by the EU Delegation to Zambia through the KCBD ticketing system. The Lobito Corridor is a major infrastructure initiative aimed at enhancing regional connectivity and economic integration...

As global consumption patterns continue to exert unprecedented pressure on ecological systems, the urgent need for sustainable development frameworks has become increasingly evident. This study explores the critical intersection of structural transformation and environmental quality within the...

This report offers a detailed analysis of the European Investment Bank Group's greenhouse gas emissions from its head office operations in Luxembourg for 2023. It includes a comparative performance review against 2022 and the baseline year of 2018, based on data adhering to the World Resources...

The objective of this study was to provide information and data to the Commission on the implementation of Directive 2011/92/EU on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment, as amended by Directive 2014/52/EU (thereafter the EIA Directive). More...

The objective of Directive 2011/92/EU on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment (the 'Environmental Impact Assessment Directive', or 'EIA Directive') is to ensure that projects that are likely to have a significant effect on the environment are...

This paper uses the Bayesian model averaging approach to investigate the effects of trade openness on environmental quality in 64 selected developing countries for the period of 2003-2017. We find no evidence of a statistically significant effect of trade openness on environmental pollution in...

Micro-energy systems contribute significantly to environmental improvement by reducing dependence on power grids through the utilization of multiple renewable energy sources. This study quantified the environmental impact of a micro-energy network system in an industrial park through a life...

Environmental aspects are considered a specific process that requires a multidisciplinary analysis, as the application of indicators in organizations stems from effective performance management; the tourism sector is no exception. In 2015, the United Nations formulated 17 sustainable development...

Modeling of non-carbon dioxide (non-CO2) greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in integrated assessment models (IAMs) is critical to achieving long-term climate targets. This study selects nine IAMs to reveal the modeling mechanisms and mitigation of non-CO2 GHGs. It further explores the impact of...

In the recent decade, the topic of environmental sustainability and its determinants has gained the attention of environmental policy analysts and academicians. However, some crucial factors that can affect environmental sustainability have not yet been explored in the literature. In this...

We present an updated, stock-flow consistent version of the "Dystopian Schumpeter meeting Keynes" agent-based integrated assessment model. By embedding the model in a fully specified accounting system, all balance sheet items and financial flows can be explicitly and consistently tracked...

This paper investigates behavioral adaptation to local improvements in environmental quality. Using exogenous variation in village sanitation coverage generated by the randomized allocation of financial incentives to latrine construction in the Lao People's Democratic Republic, we find that the...

An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) evaluates a development's potential effects on the environment while considering relevant socioeconomic, cultural, and human health effects (both positive and negative). This research has intended to analyze the effect of environmental impact assessment...

Pollutant load (PL) and its relation to waste treatment is currently one of the main indicators to be considered when evaluating production and service systems to achieve a more environmental quality and eco-friendly relationship with the environment. The objective of this paper is to evaluate...

We show that the prevalence of prolonged tennis contests drops sharply when the ambient environment deteriorates through heat or pollution. We develop a multi-battle dynamic model to investigate how the disutility from a protracted competition shapes agents' willingness to fight on. Our theory...
