Does Climate Risk Affect Employment Decisions? International Evidence

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the effect of climate risk on corporate employment decisions. Using a large sample from 41 countries, we find a positive association between climate risk and underinvestment in labor, notably manifesting as excessive employee layoffs.

Examining ESG Performance Through TNFD‐Aligned Disclosure Practices

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines adherence to the Taskforce on Nature‐related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) framework in relation to the ESG performance of non‐financial and non‐utility S&P 500 firms. Drawing on legitimacy, stakeholder, and institutional monitoring theories, we construct measures of TNFD, nature‐related risk and opportunity indicators for ...

Net‐Zero Investment Strategies Need an Absolute Emission Reduction Metric

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The climate crisis calls for rapid absolute reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, requiring significant capital reallocation. In the financial industry, net‐zero investment strategies are mostly guided by relative carbon intensity (CI) metrics rather than absolute GHG emissions.

Ocean acidification in a geoengineering context [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2012
Abstract Fundamental changes to marine chemistry are occurring because of increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. Ocean acidity (H+ concentration) and bicarbonate ion concentrations are increasing, whereas carbonate ion concentrations are decreasing.

B, N‐Co Doped Porous Carbon Nanotubes Supported Cu Single Atoms and B‐Doped Cu Nanoparticles for High‐Performance Electrocatalytic NO3RR and Zn‐Nitrate Batteries

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
The ToC image shows a porous B, N‐doped carbon nanotube decorated with B‐doped Cu nanoparticles for nitrate‐to‐ammonia conversion. The unique structure enhances charge transport, promotes the adsorption and activation of key intermediates, alters the rate‐determining step, suppresses hydrogen evolution, and improves NH3 yield and Faradaic efficiency ...

Coral Carbonic Anhydrases: Regulation by Ocean Acidification

Marine Drugs, 2016
Global change is a major threat to the oceans, as it implies temperature increase and acidification. Ocean acidification (OA) involving decreasing pH and changes in seawater carbonate chemistry challenges the capacity of corals to form their skeletons ...

Ru Nanoparticle Supported by Mesoporous SiOx and Pillared Montmorillonite: Suppressing Catalyst Inhibition in Carbon Dioxide Hydrogenation

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Ru nanoparticles confined within mesoporous SiOx‐pillared montmorillonite exhibit exceptional performance for CO2 methanation. The catalyst maintains a high reaction rate even at elevated CO2 conversion while preserving high Ru mass–specific activity, overcoming typical inhibition by H2O and CO observed in conventional supported Ru catalysts.

OCEAN ACIDIFICATION IN THE CALIFORNIA CURRENT SYSTEM [PDF]

Oceanography, 2009
Eastern boundary upwelling systems (EBUS) are naturally more acidic than most of the rest of the surface ocean. Observations of EBUS already show pH values and saturation states with regard to the carbonate mineral aragonite that are as low as those expected for most open ocean waters several decades from now. Thus, as atmospheric CO2 increases further,

Temperature‐Dependent Kinetics of Plasma‐Based CO2 Conversion: Interplay of Electron‐Driven and Thermal‐Driven Chemistry

ChemSusChem, Volume 18, Issue 6, March 15, 2025.
The transformation of CO2 into chemical building blocks is essential for a net‐zero energy future. Plasma‐chemical processing offers promising potential to achieve this. Here, we explore a temperature‐dependent plasma‐chemical reaction mechanism, revealing a shift from electron‐driven to thermal‐driven CO2 conversion regimes.

Selective Modification of the Product Profile of Biocatalytic Hydrolyzed PET via Product‐Specific Medium Engineering

ChemSusChem, Volume 18, Issue 6, March 15, 2025.
The product profile of enzymatically hydrolyzed PET can be modified by medium engineering and thereby adapted to a desired product. TPA, MHET or BHET can be forced as the predominant product using a basic pH (blue), 25 % ethylene glycol (EG) and IsPETasewt (green) or ≥25 % EG and LCCICCG (pink), respectively.
