Global energy security is a growing worldwide concern in the presence of high economic policy uncertainty (EPU) that can be addressed by advancing sustainable energy diversification (ED) practices. Energy security can be estimated by combining ED and EPU indices; hence, this study uses a dataset...

Economic growth requires growth of energy consumption. In the second half of the twentieth century energy consumption began to outgrow its production and the United States. Consequently, we observe growing dependence of the U.S. economy on energy imports which is causing political and economic...

Ground-level ozone is an important pollutant regulated under the Clean Air Acts that affects respiratory morbidity, decreases lung function, and negatively affects those with existing respiratory conditions like asthma. This study examines the “Clean Air Works” program on ozone concentration...

Nonpoint pollution arises from dispersed sources and lacks direct monitoring. Observing individual abatement levels or discharges is generally impractical. This paper addresses the economic incentives for controlling nonpoint pollution, which differs from point source pollution due to...

Climate change and environmental degradation constitute challenging and demanding issues that need mitigation and adaptation strategies and plans, as well as scientific research to test the causality between economic growth and pollution levels. From this viewpoint, the present theoretical...

To identify sectors in Croatia that are particularly sensitive to the European Union's measures for transitioning to a low-carbon economy, this paper analyses data from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) on greenhouse gas emissions. The aim is to identify the...

The CORSIA climate agreement requires the signatories to cap their bilateral international aviation carbon emissions to 85% of the level of 2019. Signatories can satisfy the cap by using offsets and sustainable aviation (SAF) fuels.This international agreement faces three handicaps: the...

China’s rapid industrialization and urbanization in recent decades have deteriorated its air environmental quality. This study focuses on air pollutions in terms of CO, NO2, O3, PM2.5, PM10, and SO2 in Chinese provinces. Although the heterogeneity of environmental Kuznets curves (EKCs) from...

Global warming and climate change represent more than just an environmental crisis; they are urgent issues exacerbated by the era of neoliberal globalization. This has become a global problem and is increasingly posing a significant threat to human security. Addressing this crisis necessitates...
