Curbing carbon emissions to meet the targets set in the Paris Agreement requires the deployment of low carbon technologies (LCTs) at a global scale. This paper assesses the role of climate and trade policies
Stabilizing and reducing atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations is essential to global sustainability and this will require intensified and ongoing efforts to increase overall global energy efficiency and a shift from fossil fuels to non-carbon energy sources. The improvements in global energy efficiency need to be achieved in a context of a growing population and economy.
The European Union (eu) has decided that all flights taking off from and landing in its territory to buy carbon credits to offset greenhouse gas (ghg) emissions. The implementation of the decision
US greenhouse gas emission shoots up
This article examines the question of how to interpret a relationship between income and carbon emissions in a country (the environmental kuznets curve [EKC] for carbon). A very simple and graphical structural model of an EKC is developed, and the problems of applying the concept to carbon are discussed.

Making cement is energy-intensive. Energy accounts for a significant portion of the cost of producing cement. Most technological advancement, unsurprisingly, has been directed towards reducing its consumption. Unlike other industries in India, in which technological levels lag behind the best in the world, the cement industry is state of the art.
