Abstract The effectiveness of the European Emissions Trading System in supporting a level playing field while reducing total emissions is tested. While data show robust impact on environment as steady decrease carbon observed, it reported that its ability to internalize emission costs may improve better address import extra generated negatively economy when not properly accounted for. Analyzing six countries between 2016 and 2020, results suggest competitive advantages for industries with higher extra-European imports inputs result biased production that, turn, alter positioning. novelty lies focusing threats fair competition within Europe along well-known leakage risk widely investigated by previous literature. Complementary policy tools capable internalizing costs, regardless their origin, are necessary healthy functioning system. In this regard, taxation outperform border adjustment, based consumption patterns. Our can aid policymakers designing analyses aimed at limiting potential distortions Europe’s field.

Climate change mitigation and the imperative to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) remain significant challenges. The primary source of this problem a crucial aspect its resolution lie in carbon-intensive companies responsible for emitting substantial quantities anthropogenic dioxide. Many polluting companies, such as energy producers, have been forced take actions adopt effective strategies achieve better performance mitigate emissions. This is also result pressure from stakeholders that exerted on decrease their pollution. Therefore, study focuses two research questions: How does stakeholder impact CO2-related performance? Do decarbonization mediate moderate relationship between companies? Thus, aim investigate reducing emissions corporate performance, test adopting performance. Additionally, we examine mediating moderating effects strategy adoption was conducted sample 122 producers Poland. To hypotheses, linear multiple regression analysis employed. findings reveal positive strategies, well Furthermore, results confirm effect strategy, while remains unproven. important practical implications managers, who are required identify stakeholders’ demands related CO2 Based this, they should implement active minimize footprint.

Abstract This study explores trends in recycling rates and municipal solid waste landfilling to construct a circularity index (CI) forecasted up 2035. projection is contrasted with the pathways that countries must adopt attain set targets. We further estimate impact of CI on factors such as sustainability performance, innovation, commodity trade balance, reduction. Moreover, we provide policy implications useful for designing industrial environmental strategies, including accelerating permit approval times treatment facilities, introducing more flexibility state aid rules, empowering service users or generators, implementing tax credits, leveraging specialized funds. These strategies are aimed at supporting industry stimulate convergence achieve circular economy objectives.

The European plan for a green transition includes the Fit 55 package, designed to pave way climate neutrality. Despite its significant implications cleaner technologies, it potentially correlates with high investment requirements, necessitating pursuit of cost-effective environmental policies. Starting from reference scenario previously envisaged in Energy and Climate Plan, socioeconomic impacts are assessed using mixed methods. It is estimated that €1,120 bn investments needed meet decarbonization targets, while total impact on public finance revenues 2030 projected at €529 bn. Additionally, avoided costs emissions amount €36 bn, those energy savings expected reach €30 This paper adds value by contributing literature policies, offering an in-depth appraisal integrates technoeconomic perspectives.
