“…Consequently, the papers within our review overwhelmingly determined that a higher GDP had a positive association with GHG emissions over time. Only three studies found a negative association between GDP and GHG emissions over time (Awaworyi Churchill et al., 2018; Hassan et al., 2021; Shuai et al., 2017), and six studies revealed no significant association (Awaworyi Churchill et al., 2018; Brizga et al., 2021; Harris & Lee, 2017; Kim, 2021; Mundaca & Markandya, 2016; Sha et al., 2020). The mainly positive association between GDP and GHG emissions over time is attributed to higher income levels raising the consumption of fossil fuel‐based energy (Ben Youssef et al., 2016; Demiral et al., 2021; Khan et al., 2022; Zafar et al., 2019).…”

“…Demographic variables associated with GHG emissions included urban and total population growth, household energy consumption, household size, gender, and the distribution of population between urban centres in a metropolis. Total population had a positive association with GHG emissions over time across states within the United States (Squalli, 2021), Latvia (Brizga et al., 2021), and China (Zhang & Xu, 2017) and for the whole regions of Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean, as well as the Middle East (Mundaca & Markandya, 2016). However, a significant relationship did not exist between population and GHGs over time for the whole of the OECD, Oceania, Asia, and non‐OECD Europe (Awaworyi Churchill et al., 2018; Mundaca & Markandya, 2016).…”

Studies found a relatively strong and positive association with GHG emissions and population size over time, compared to other independent variables, when a statistically significant relationship existed (Awaworyi Churchill et al., 2018; Brizga et al., 2021; Mundaca & Markandya, 2016; Squalli, 2021; Zhang & Xu, 2017).

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have increased globally 10% in the last decade, but there is a large variation in emissions trajectories by country. Understanding the main drivers of recent changes in GHG emissions is important to guide effective climate action. Using a narrative scoping review of academic literature, we access 648 abstracts and review 30 studies to identify statistically significant independent variables that were associated with GHG emissions nationally and multinationally (i.e., in country groupings) during or overlapping the period 2010–2019. We describe the findings in terms of potential reasons for the positive or negative associations, outline the strength of associations relative to other variables within the same study, and compare the associations to findings in other studies. We find that population, energy consumption, and gross domestic product (GDP) per capita are the most common independent variables associated with increases in GHG emissions, whereas the square of GDP per capita and renewable energy production are associated with GHG reductions. We assign GHG drivers to seven categories: economic, energy, demographic, technology innovation, transportation, policy, and others. We conclude by discussing implications for future research and climate policy.

“…In particular, corporate vehicles, commercial fleets, and public transport are ideal for electrification, with taxation as the driving force. Negative externalities must be borne by those who cause them and, for this, taxation is an appropriate instrument [5].…”

“…Vehicle tax recommendations and others (redesign of registration tax, reform of circulation tax, tax support for electric vehicles in enterprises, promotion of charging point installation, implementation of the bonus-malus system, reform and renewal of vehicle labels) are drawn up in the proposal for fiscal measures for development electric mobility was conceived by the European Federation of Transport & Environment (T&E) [39]. According to the position of Ecologists from the European Federation of Transport & Environmental (T&E), a strongly progressive tax on CO2 emissions is very effective in reducing average emissions from car fleets and addressing rising CO2 emissions from the transport sector [5]. Vehicle emissions taxes are a very effective way to encourage sales of electric cars, even compared to subsidies for their purchase, because the acquisition of the most polluting model is more penalized, making it easier for buyers to choose the cleanest [19].…”

This research aims to simulate models of taxes across Southeast Asia by inserting var models such as environment and gasoline fees. This study is for getting the idea that Southeast Asia imposes an environmental fee based on a regression model derived from Southeast Asia's energy consumption and CO2 emissions adjusted by a 10% additional tax (as a dummy variable). This study was motivated by the European Union's policy suggestions on environmental fees, which could be implemented by Southeast Asia. The log-t methods are used in this study, which allows clustering by countries into additional clubs or convergence groupings, and also for utilizing the test for converging within some panel’s states taking into account the variable’s panel data. We believe that environmental fees are an essential public policy tool in Southeast Asia for reducing CO2 emissions as well as the effects on pollutants. Gas tax or carbon pollution tax upon the energy and transportation industries have a substantial influence on raising tax collections in addition to economic expansion within Southeast Asia. Power tax could help to fund initiatives that utilize ecologically good energy while limiting the prohibiting the utilization of natural gas or eco-friendly power. In the transportation industry, the environmental taxes’ function is to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide caused as a result of less environmentally friendly public transport, as well as to support eco-friendly transport.

The Arctic is one of the key regions in relation to global climate change, experiencing radical transformations in environmental governance as well as challenges in terms of its ecological protection. The region is witnessing a number of irreversible climatic shifts, such as melting permafrost, rising sea levels, contamination of the Global Ocean, and changes in the lives of indigenous people. The Arctic is a global hot spot in climate change where international cooperation (scientific, environmental, diplomatic, etc.) should be a priority to overcome existing ecological challenges. This article provides detailed analysis of these issues from cross-disciplinary perspectives, bringing insights from economics, history, anthropology, international relations, and political science from the perspective of literature on environmental regionalism. The article analyzes a selection of heterogeneous actors, many of whom have contradictory rules, norms, and priorities. Analysis of the Arctic through the lens of regional environmental governance aspires to contribute to understanding of the complexity of existing challenges and their potential solutions. This article offers an analysis of the major findings in this topical collection. It contributes to the development of cross-disciplinary approach to the studies of the Artic and outlines a research agenda.
