Control of carbon dioxide emissions in developing countries is becoming a key issue in the international climate policy. A critical element for achieving substantial emission reduction in those countries is the installment of new energy technologies. Drawing on the framework of poverty-trap...

CCS (carbon dioxide capture and storage) is an issue which has received increasing attention in the debate on climate change over the last years because of its relative technical simplicity and a large expected potential in reducing carbon dioxide emissions. The coexistence of both strong...

Recent research has shown that agreements centered on the adoption of breakthrough technologies can break the deadlock in international climate negotiations if the mitigation technology exhibits a network externality that transforms full cooperation into a self-enforcing outcome. This paper...

Climate change is anticipated to have long-term and pervasive effects on marine ecosystems, with cascading consequences to many ocean-reliant sectors. For the marine fisheries sector, these impacts can be further influenced by future socio-economic and political factors. Hence, raises the need...

Environmental degradation due to human economic activities is closely linked to poverty in developing countries and can have long-term effects on well-being and sustainable development. This study investigates the nexus between toxic pollution and poverty by examining the economic impacts of...

We empirically examine how fine particulate matter (PM2.5) pollution affects labor supply in Japan. The effects of PM2.5 pollution could be mixed. While adverse health effects of PM2.5 pollution can lead to reduced labor supply, workers can rather increase labor supply if their productivity...
