This research examines the relationship between CO₂ emissions and wages in Japanese manufacturing installations from 2006 to 2019. It identifies a positive association when productivity is constant, driven by rent sharing and working conditions. The study highlights significant distributional implications for the transition to a low-carbon economy.

Following 2022 sanctions, Russia’s coal industry lost its sustainable model, incurring over USD 32 billion in cumulative losses. Redirecting exports to Asia proved unprofitable due to high logistics costs and hidden subsidies. Environmental degradation persists, while official methane reporting remains unreliable, requiring independent verification through satellite monitoring.

This report evaluates the EU’s industrial transformation, noting a 27% decline in GHG emissions since 2010 despite stagnant circularity rates. It identifies system-readiness barriers, including an annual EUR 30-60 billion funding gap and infrastructure bottlenecks, while proposing strategic options to align decarbonisation with long-term global competitiveness.

This research evaluates economic and financial risks to Ethiopia’s coffee sector from the European Union Deforestation Regulation. It identifies potential market exclusion for smallholders, significant foreign exchange losses, and financial vulnerabilities, while recommending integrated incentive mechanisms like carbon credits and improved cooperative structures to support compliance and livelihoods.
