Assessing the robustness and implications of econometric estimates of climate sensitivity
Earth’s transient climate response (TCR) quantifies the global mean surface air temperature change due to a doubling of atmospheric CO 2 concentration after 70 years of a compounding 1% per year increase. TCR is highly correlated with near-term climate projections, and thus of relevance for climate policy, but remains poorly constrained in part due to uncertainties in the representation of key physical processes in Earth System Models (ESMs).

Mitigating degradation and emissions in China: The role of environmental sustainability, human capital and renewable energy
China's carbon-embedded growth trajectory is gradually becoming a burden to environmental sustainability, hence, requires much attention. The complexity of human capital attributed emissions coupled with fossil fuel inclined energy utilization for industrialization underscores the failure of China to meet its mitigation target. We developed a policy-driven conceptual tool based on disaggregate energy utilization, human capital, trade, income leve…
Global effect of urban sprawl, industrialization, trade and economic development on carbon dioxide emissions
Significant progress has been made towards mitigating climate change and its impacts across countries. However, the transboundary effect of CO 2 emissions means that excluding the actions and inactions of certain countries and territories that escalate emissions is alarming. On this note, we examined the heterogeneous contribution of immediate and underlying drivers of emissions across 206 countries and territories for the period spanning 1960–20…
