Based on this, the study's goal is to look at how Turkey's political globalization and energy transition have affected the environment. In this context, the new quantile-quantile multivariate regression approach was used to examine the impacts on carbon emissions in a data set encompassing the period 1970–2020 of the innovative energy transition index, political globalization, economic development, and natural resource rents. This method makes it possible to analyze and verify the efficacy of the energy transition as well as the transition for varying emission levels. The energy transition lowers carbon emissions in all quantiles, according to the findings of the empirical assessments, although in high quantiles (high CO2 levels), the shift's pollution-reducing impact is more pronounced. Furthermore, the intermediate quantiles of carbon emissions are less affected by political globalization in terms of lowering emissions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34478,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Futures","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142359546","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on this model, causal loop and stock-flow diagrams were developed. Model simulation was conducted, and its validity was carefully controlled. Different scenarios were then generated for incorporating EVs into Tehran's transportation system. The simulations demonstrated that integrating EVs into the taxi fleet is economically advantageous as it offsets the annual purchase and charging station expenses. This scenario led to a 0.2 % decrease in urban costs. Conversely, introducing EVs for private transportation resulted in a 1.9 % increase in overall transportation system costs. Therefore, for cities like Tehran, prioritizing EV adoption in the taxi fleet is a more favorable strategy to balance economic and environmental benefits.

Many optimization models are available for designing conventional roundabouts but not large roundabouts. To partially cover this gap, the present paper introduces a novel approach integrating simulation-based analysis with a goal programming method to optimize large roundabout design. By leveraging advanced traffic simulation tools like AIMSUN Next and Surrogate Safety Assessment Models (SSAMs), this methodology evaluates multiple design scenarios to enhance traffic flow, safety, and environmental performance.

Hence, a bi-level multi-objective optimization model is put forward to balance the decisions of local authorities and those of food waste treatment enterprises. Enterprises can choose which carbon reduction policies to implement, and local authorities determine the intensity of specific policies. After testing this model on Shenzhen’s food waste treatment system, the model’s validity and feasibility were confirmed. It was discovered that by identifying suitable carbon reduction policies, the model can help enterprises achieve more than 50 % carbon reduction. Moreover, different enterprises may choose different carbon reduction policies to implement. Optimal food waste disposal arrangements need flexible adjustments.
