| Abstract: | This paper examines possibilities for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from aviation through alternative aviation fuels with lower life-cycle emissions. After discussing various technological options for such fuels, the paper considers how various policies in the United States and other countries affect their production and usage. The paper also outlines a possible policy mechanism for reducing the carbon intensity of aviation fuel in the United States and highlights important questions that must be addressed to increase the use of low-carbon fuels. |

| Abstract: | We examine the impact of a carbon tax on consumer choices via a large-scale online randomized controlled trial. Higher taxes generally reduce the demand for high-carbon goods. Compared to an import tax, a carbon tax reduces demand when the tax is zero (i.e., announced but not levied) but shows relatively higher demand for high-carbon goods when a positive tax is introduced. This contradiction of basic price theory is entirely driven by climate-concerned consumers. Our findings suggest that carbon taxes can crowd out climate concerns, leading to important implications for policy. |

| Abstract: | Climate change is causing significant disruptions to the socio-ecological systems in which organisations operate. To navigate these turbulent times, businesses must develop robust strategies to manage climate-related risks and uncertainties. In this context, climate adaptation and climate resilience are no longer peripheral concerns but central to organisational viability and competitive advantage. This SLR examines a decade of research on business climate adaptation and resilience, spanning from 2013 to 2023. Employing a novel methodological framework that integrates bibliometric techniques and machine learning methods, this review synthesises the evolution of theoretical and empirical studies in the field. It identifies key themes, including sector-specific adaptation strategies, resilience-building approaches, and knowledge gaps across industries. The findings highlight the uneven growth in research across different sectors and underscore the urgent need for long-term strategic planning to enhance climate resilience. This paper provides valuable insights for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers, guiding future research and informing strategies for improving business responses to climate change. |
