Authors:Phung Thanh Quang Abstract: Journal of Environmental Assessment Policy and Management, Ahead of Print. Considering two theories of Halo and Haven and annual data from 1994 to 2021 for the country of Vietnam, this paper has tried to consider two types of foreign direct investment (to Vietnam from abroad and from Vietnam to abroad) to study the impact factor of investment on carbon dioxide emissions in this country. The significant findings reveal that FDI (Foreign Direct Investment), both inward and outward, is an efficient factor in mitigating carbon emissions in the short term in Vietnam. The enhancements in the inward and outward flows of FDI in Vietnam will likely lead to a reduction in carbon emission increase which is in line with the environmental protection policy. In addition, it confirms the Halo pollution hypothesis in Vietnam, meaning that the Vietnamese government can mitigate CO2 emissions by improving FDI flows (both inward and outward).

Authors:Ning Zhu, Xiao Zhang, Xiaohang Ren, Lan Wang Abstract: Journal of Environmental Assessment Policy and Management, Ahead of Print. As the climate change risks’ effects on social development increase, how to deal with these challenges has become extremely urgent, and it is necessary for companies to adapt to the changing circumstances. This paper estimates the impact of climate policy uncertainty on corporate innovation using unbalanced panel data with 2,449 listed companies from 2009 to 2020. The findings show a significant positive correlation between climate policy uncertainty and corporate innovation investment. Specially, two possible mechanisms are explored. Government environmental regulations force companies to produce cleanly. Optimistic market expectations encourage firms to shift to a green development model. Further, the renewable energy industry and state-owned enterprises’ powers of innovation are more robust. Jointly, our findings offer the government a clear direction for policy making by identifying the effects of climate policy uncertainty on corporate innovation.

Authors:Aweewan Panyagometh, Ittisak Jirapornvaree, Angkana Keeratiratanalak Abstract: Journal of Environmental Assessment Policy and Management, Ahead of Print. Since January 1, 2020, Thailand has implemented a campaign to stop giving free single-use plastic bags in 75 major retail stores. This study aims to (1) understand the status quo and effectiveness of the plastic bag ban campaign by estimating the number of plastic bags used in Bangkok and Phuket (2) understand the consumers’ behavioural on plastic bag consumption and management by integrating a knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) model (3) provide policy recommendation to strengthen the country plastic waste management roadmap. The results showed that the ban on plastic bag campaign is effective, especially in the supermarkets and convenience stores in Bangkok. The numbers of plastic bags used per visit at supermarkets and convenience stores are approximately 1.9 bags and 1.7 bags, respectively, whereas the plastic bags used at fresh markets, restaurants, and food delivery services are, on average, up to 3.7, 3.1, and 2.8 bags per visit, respectively. On average, people in Bangkok use approximately 1.2 bags/person/day, while only 0.7 bags/person/day are used in Phuket. According to the KAP model, attitude is more crucial than knowledge towards pro-environmental behaviour. Bangkok residents’ trend to show more pro-environmental behaviour than Phuket residents. For policy implication, it is important to continuously communicate the environmental impact of plastics and emphasise the proper knowledge and attitudes toward plastic bags among people to encourage their cooperative behaviours in reducing the use of plastic bags and sorting waste for recycling.

Authors:Hani Amer Musa, Sabbar Dahham Sabbar, Abdul Rahman Kadir, Mursalim Nohong, Musran Munizu, Anas Iswanto Anwar, Anas Mosleh Marzoq Al-Mhasnah Abstract: Journal of Environmental Assessment Policy and Management, Ahead of Print. Rapid industrialisation and economic growth among the emerging E-7 economic countries (China, India, Indonesia, Brazil, Mexico, Russia, and Turkey) negatively degrade the environment in the region. Therefore, this study investigates the relationship between financial development and environmental degradation to promote low-carbon transition. The methodology of data collection techniques employed is the generalised method of moments (GMM) using a one-step and two-step approach, and a seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) test is used to obtain the study objectives. The empirical outcomes unveiled that fiscal decentralisation and financial inclusion favourably moderate the impact of total carbon emission (TCE) and carbon emission per capita on energy (CEPE) intensity. Ecological quality degrades by increasing financial development; however, human capital and institutional quality reduce environmental degradation. The causality analysis suggested that any policy related to economic growth, human capital, and institutional quality will affect the environment. Additionally, an institution’s quality reduces the negative ecological impacts caused by financial development. In conclusion, emerging economies should promote environmental sustainability by fostering human capital and effectively using financial resources. Also, economic growth in E-7 countries is responsible for reducing carbon emissions; therefore, E-7 governments should prioritise research into low-carbon technology and renewable energy sources, and the financial sector must play its role to give more capital that prioritises environmentally conscious enterprises and encourages strategies that minimise environmental impact.

Technological singularity has seriously affected all the social, environmental, and economic genesis factors in mankind’s history. The problem of assessing the quality of life in the digital economy is acquiring new nuances including social services. The objective of this study is to investigate unique impacts of digital transformation on economic, environment, and social progresses on the quality of life improvement in China. Environmental statistical data on the impact of investments in social, state, and other spheres of economic activity are analysed at the machine learning level. Application of high-performance computing (HPC) and big data technologies for obtaining data on socio-economic statistics in real-time, the presence of feedback in the Web 4.0 concept, transfer of a significant part of economic processes to internet platforms provide the information necessary for analysis. As a result, a basis is proposed for implementing software products in the form of institutional decision-making support systems for a long horizon of planning investments in the quality of life.

Authors:Zahra Taheri, Masoud Masoudi Abstract: Journal of Environmental Assessment Policy and Management, Ahead of Print. Drought is among the natural disasters that seriously impact the environment and human life. This study aims to explore the spatial pattern of drought using the percent of normal precipitation index (PNPI) in Fars Province, located in the Southern part of Iran. To this end, a drought risk model based on data from 42 stations in Fars province from 1990 to 2019 was evaluated. The model includes three criteria of maximum drought intensity in the period, drought trend, and a maximum number of consecutive dry years. The final drought risk map was obtained with an arithmetic mean of three indicators of intensity, continuity, and trend. The final hazard map and the 3-criteria map were interpolated by the inverse distance weighting (IDW) method and were classified into five risk classes: none, mild, moderate, severe, and very severe. The final vulnerability map shows that moderate hazard areas (5% of the region), which are observed in the Sothern parts of the region, are less widespread than areas under severe hazard (83% of the region), which are observed in almost all parts of the region. According to the final vulnerability map, about 94% of the area of Fars province is under severe and very severe conditions. Overall, this study, regarding its simplicity and considering different dimensions of drought, may be utilised as a basic framework to evaluate drought hazards for other locations worldwide. In this respect, it is necessary to study the multiple sights of this phenomenon for land use planning, resource management, and prevention of water and food crises. Therefore, this model can help users and administrations with executive initiatives.

Authors:Lawrence R. Sullivan Abstract: Journal of Environmental Assessment Policy and Management, Ahead of Print. Focus of the article is the pursuit by President Xi Jinping (2013–2021) of an aggressive policy of environmental protection and preservation with the ambitious goal of creating a ‘beautiful China’. Article begins with a summary of the rise to national leadership by Xi Jinping from a local and provincial leader to national prominence, and then examines the creation of central and local bureaucracies for policy implementation on the environment along with such initiatives as the system of ‘river chiefs’ to address the serious problem of waterway pollution. By tracing the transition to more environmentally friendly economic and industrial policies, government efforts are also described to foster greater environmental consciousness on the part of the Chinese public. The article concludes by weighing the accomplishments of the new policies along with various economic, institutional, and structural obstacles to achieving a ‘beautiful China’.

Authors:Syaifurrizal Wijaya Putra, Lissa Rosdiana Noer, Tanti Handriana, Dien Mardhiyah Abstract: Journal of Environmental Assessment Policy and Management, Ahead of Print. One of the causes of environmental degradation is human behaviour that destroys environment. This environmental phenomenon can arise from both the domestic and global spheres, where domestic means that it comes from the immediate environment and global means that it comes from a multinational environment. Knowledge of these two types of events is thought to be able to influence the desire to buy ‘green’ products and can be stronger if the environmental knowledge of the individual is also already strong. This study seeks to test the relationship of these variables using a video documentary stimulus and processing through structural equation modelling. The results show that environmental knowledge is much stronger in influencing domestic environmental concerns than global environmental concerns. In addition, the results also explain that global environmental concerns have a stronger influence on an individual’s decision to buy green products. Indonesian’s government should make a policy about increasing public service advertisement that provides information on global disasters to encourage the purchase of green products.

Authors:Diksha Rana, Maya Kumari, Deepak Kumar, Neeru Jaiswal Abstract: Journal of Environmental Assessment Policy and Management, Ahead of Print. Rapid urbanisation causes the ‘heat island’ problem in megacities worldwide. The industrialisation has fuelled the increase in the urbanisation in Indian cities. This work measures and characterises Ahmedabad’s heat island variations (India). The study uses two satellite passes of the MODIS sensor over the summer for the last three years to assess urban heat island intensity (UHII). Sentinel-2B records are used to create a land-use map. The study considers the impact of land-use patterns on summer UHII diurnal fluctuations. Daily diurnal changes in land surface temperature (LST) are being analysed. Locations and land-use land-cover patterns affect UHII. Satellite observations show greater LST values during the day than at night, however, UHII is stronger at night. Urban UHII is stronger rural UHII. Lower vegetation cover area is one of the key causes of UHII development, as seen in the region’s Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) values.
