Climate change poses a significant threat to global stability, with rising temperatures leading to severe environmental and economic impacts. In response, innovative policy mechanisms such as the Global Carbon Reward (GCR) have been designed to enhance the effectiveness of carbon pricing strategies. The foundational aspect of the GCR is a carbon reward, which acts as a financial incentive distribu

Payment for water ecosystem services has been gaining attention in Latin America because of the direct response for environmental conservation through economic mechanisms. By connecting nature services with people who benefit from them, it creates a sustainable intervention for the ecosystem’s management while enhancing human well-being according to policy implementers. Nevertheless, these initiat

Values, worldviews, and self-construal are strong correlates of pro-environmental behavior. In this brief empirical note, we argue that these constructs overlap conceptually and share underlying dimensions. Using an international sample of 11,964 individuals, we demonstrate that values, worldviews, and self-construal can be reduced to two dimensions, self-focus and other-focus, capturing 67 % of v

The aim of this paper is to study the extent to which non-Annex I countries are implementing or exploring select actions that support both climate change mitigation and sustainable development objectives in the energy sector. The research is based on a survey of the national communications of 100 non-Annex I Parties to the UNFCCC. Although national communications are intended to provide informatio

I den pågående kampen mot klimathotet har Europeiska unionen antagit en ledande roll för att fullfölja skiftet mot en grön ekonomi, bland annat genom att fokusera på att stärka konkurrenskraften avseende tillverkningen av netto-noll energiindustrin och säkra de nödvändiga råvarorna för denna omställning. För att möjliggöra detta presenterade den Europeiska kommissionen i mars 2023, i samband med pIn the global race against climate change, the answer of the European Union is the transition towards a green economy by focusing on strengthening the competitiveness of the net-zero technology industry and securing the necessary critical materials. To do so, the Union presented two legislative acts in the European Green Deal Industrial Plan in 2023, amongst which the Net-Zero Industry Act. While

The dendritic cell (DC) lineage encompasses a diverse population of cells with unique subtype-specific functions. In peripheral blood, four DC subsets have been identified based on their distinct expression of CD1c, CD141, CD16, and CD123, and these subpopulations exhibit functional properties in immune responses. However, their respective roles in allergic diseases, such as rhinitis, are unclear.
