Examining short‑run and long‑run nexus between economic growth, financial development, energy consumption and environmental degradation: empirical evidence for the Environmental Kuznets Curve Hypothesis in Egypt
This study examines the impact of economic growth, financial development, and energy consumption on Egypt’s environmental degradation. Empirical findings reveal that fossil fuel reliance and economic growth drive CO₂ emissions, urging clean energy transitions and policy reforms for sustainability.
Advancing Efficient Decarbonization: Trade-offs and synergies among carbon mitigation policies
Our study in Nature Climate Change has considered the mitigation policy interactions using the CEEGE model. With multiple policy combination options, we find that in most cases these interactions will delay the achievement of carbon neutrality in China.
e-ITALICA: a new catalogue for landslide forecasting in Italy
Landslides pose a significant risk to Italy. Accurate prediction of these phenomena is crucial for effective risk mitigation. e-ITALICA (the enhanced-ITAlian rainfall-induced LandslIdes Catalogue) promises to significantly improve our ability to predict and manage landslide risk.
MOFs & Structures: How does Changing the Metal Affect CO2 Uptakes
MOFs are tunable materials with potential for CO2 capture. Interestingly, MOFs with the same metal and ligand can form different structures due to experimental conditions, while distinct components may yield identical structures. How do these features impact their performance for CO2 capture?
