Development depends on a nation's ability to produce sophisticated goods, making economic complexity crucial. Considered as an ecological sophistication of technological, social, and cultural factors, ecological structural change, the core of Green New Developmentalism, can address environmental...

Climate change stands as one of the most formidable challenges in the twenty-first century. Despite this, our understanding of the unfolding and interconnection of climate-related physical and transitional risks, and their implications for socioeconomic dynamics along various transition...

This report aims to highlight opportunities for developing ecosystem-linked insurance - that is, insurance that integrates the effect of ecosystems in products covering coastal hazards. These products can provide funds for ecosystem restoration after a disaster occurs. This report points to...

The Blue Solutions for Africa series of operational briefs captures how a thriving Blue Economy can help African countries better manage the development challenges they face while supporting economic growth, sustainable livelihoods, and the health of these precious ecosystems

The green transition is set to transform labour markets, yet its impact remains difficult to measure. This paper critically examines the occupational approach-based on task-based measures-which is the most widely used framework among researchers and institutions for estimating green employment....

Within a two-country model, this paper identifies a novel emission leakage channel that is caused by moral behavior of (atomistic) consumers. In a non-cooperative emission tax game between the countries, the leakage effect lowers the governments’ marginal benefit of emission taxation, so...

Consumers increasingly care about the environmental quality of the goods they consume. However, limited attention impairs consumers' ability to compare and evaluate the environmental quality of goods. I show that investments in environmental quality, consumer surplus, producer surplus, and...

The System of Environmental-Economic Accounting: Ecosystem Accounting (SEEA EA) constitutes an integrated and comprehensive statistical framework for organizing data about habitats and landscapes, measuring the ecosystem services, tracking changes in ecosystem assets, and linking this...

The EU has set ambitious targets for carbon neutrality, encapsulated in the European Green Deal. This framework aims to transform the EU into a modern, resource-efficient, and competitive economy with no net emissions of greenhouse gases by 2050. Innovation plays a critical role in developing...

Given the rising levels of carbon emissions, governments in the East Asia region are exploring effective decarbonization policies. This study examines the socio-economic and environmental implications of these policies using a computable general equilibrium model that captures the closed...

Economic growth affects natural resources and the environment directly and indirectly; however, the exact role that natural resources play in environmental sustainability remains unknown. This paper revisits the relationship between natural resources and CO2 emissions by considering the role of...

Based on the concept of "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets", Chinese government is relying on the ecological and environmental characteristics of cities, in combination with modern ecological, economic, and sociological theories, to achieve sustainable urban development....

Given the intersecting challenges of climate instability, resource constraints, and digital transformation, there is an urgent need for scholarly inquiry into the evolving patterns of green economic growth to inform evidence-based strategies for fostering sustainable and inclusive development...

Standard economic theory assumes that consumers ignore the externalities they create, such as emissions from burning fossil fuels and generating waste. In an incentivized study (N = 3, 718), we find that most people forgo substantial gains to avoid imposing negative externalities on others....

To establish a comprehensive sustainable development framework that balances economic development and ESG levels, this paper proposes an EESG (Economics, Environment, Social, and Governance) evaluation system. This paper uses the entropy-weighted TOPSIS method to calculate and compare the EESG...

By using the Global Malmquist-Luenberger (GML) index method to measure the green economic growth (GEG) of 30 Chinese provinces from 2007 to 2019, this research employs a dynamic panel model to estimate the nexus between the digital economy and GEG, focusing specifically on the role of...

This report explores the epistemic and methodological foundations of the Integrated Bioeconomy Land Use Assessment (IBLUA) project, in which an innovative deliberation support system is developed toward more informed discussion over bioeconomy futures in the European Union (EU). In terms of the...

As environmental concerns receive increasing attention, investments in environmental resources have grown, leading to numerous green technology innovations (GTI). Yet, amid limited resources, exploring green technology innovation efficiency (GTIE) becomes a more meaningful topic. Efficient...
