“…In terms of research scope, it is carried out from the perspectives of the country [ 12 ], provinces [ 13 ], cities [ 14 ], and scenic spots [ 15 ]. In terms of research content, it mainly involves three parts: tourism transportation [ 16 ], tourism accommodation [ 17 ] and tourism activities [ 18 ]. In contrast, there are relatively few studies on tourism carbon emissions using the “top-down” approach.…”

To discuss the coupling coordination relationship among tourism carbon emissions, economic development and regional innovation it is not only necessary to realize the green development of tourism economy, but also great significance for the tourism industry to take a low-carbon path. Taking the 30 provinces of China for example, this paper calculated the tourism carbon emission efficiency based on the super-efficiency Slacks based measure and Data envelope analyse (SBM-DEA) model from 2007 to 2017, and on this basis, defined a compound system that consists of tourism carbon emissions, tourism economic development and tourism regional innovation. Further, the coupling coordination degree model and dynamic degree model were used to explore its spatiotemporal evolution characteristics of balanced development, and this paper distinguished the core influencing factors by Geodetector model. The results showed that (1) during the study period, the tourism carbon emission efficiency showed a reciprocating trend of first rising and then falling, mainly due to the change of pure technical efficiency. (2) The coupling coordination degree developed towards a good trend, while there were significant differences among provinces, showing a gradient distribution pattern of decreasing from east to west. Additionally, (3) the core driving factors varied over time, however, in general, the influence from high to low were as follows: technological innovation, economic development, urbanization, environmental pollution control, and industrial structure. Finally, some policy recommendations were put forward to further promote the coupling coordination degree.

“…The main strength of this method is that it can be applied to more than two factors and it would give a perfect decomposition; it creates a link between the multiplicative and additive decomposition, thereby giving estimates of an effect on the sub group level [35][36][37][38]. In recent years, this approach has been applied at various levels, both national and sub regional [27,39] such as in China [40,41], Latin America [42], the United States [30], Iran [43], India [44], Pakistan [45], Philippines [46], the European Union [47], Greece [48], Spain [49], Ireland [50], South Korea [51], United Kingdom [52], Brazil [53], and Turkey [54].…”

Ethiopia, among the fastest growing economies worldwide, is witnessing rapid urbanization and industrialization that is fueled by greater energy consumption and high levels of CO2 emissions. Currently, Ethiopia is the third largest CO2 emitter in East Africa, yet no comprehensive study has characterized the major drivers of economy-wide CO2 emissions. This paper examines the energy-related CO2 emissions in Ethiopia, and their driving forces between 1990 and 2017 using Kaya identity combined with Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) decomposition approach. Main findings reveal that energy-based CO2 emissions have been strongly driven by the economic effect (52%), population effect (43%), and fossil fuel mix effect (40%) while the role of emission intensity effect (14%) was less pronounced during the study period. At the same time, energy intensity improvements have slowed down the growth of CO2 emissions by 49% indicating significant progress towards reduced energy per unit of gross domestic product (GDP) during 1990-2017. Nonetheless, for Ethiopia to achieve its 2030 targets of low-carbon economy, further improvements through reduced emission intensity (in the industrial sector) and fossil fuel share (in the national energy mix) are recommended. Energy intensity could be further improved by technological innovation and promotion of energy-frugal industries.

“…Assuming identical fleet structure and exhaust tailpipe control technologies, annual average emissions of CO, HC, NO x , and CO 2 could reach 12,780, 14,799, 10,322, and 424,218 metric tons, respectively, in the lower-altitude sector (540–1940 m above sea level); 10,780, 12,016, 8,585, and 489,212 metric tons, respectively, at intermediate high altitudes (1940–3293 m above sea level); and 3,718, 3,940, 3,289, and 141,585 metric tons, respectively, at the highest altitudes (3293–4693 m above sea level) after the completion of the CPEC, representing a serious environmental threat. Applying the 20- and 100-year global warming potential calculations from the previous studies [ 41 , 42 ] (see Table S5 ), total CO 2 -equivalent emissions on the CPEC portion between Islamabad and the Khunjerab Pass could represent 2,173,142 and 1,731,079 metric tons. Moreover, considering the geographical proximity of the Tibetan Plateau, further analysis of simultaneous emissions from pollutants and greenhouse gases along the CPEC in Pakistan should be conducted to quantify the impact of freight transport by trucks on air quality and climate and to evaluate potential mitigation policies.…”
