National policies for global emission reductions: Effectiveness of carbon emission reductions in international supply chains.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyse a set of different policies in three areas with particularly high consumption-based emissions in Austria: building construction, public health, and transport, and find that a carbon added tax is highly effective in reducing consumptionbased emissions whereas an information obligation on vacant dwellings combined with a penalty payment when vacant buildings are not made available is ineffective because of reallocated investment capital.

Elena Grigorieva,Artem Lukyanets +1 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the increased level of PM10 and O3 results in significantly higher rates of respiratory and cardiopulmonary mortality, and sustainable urban planning and smart city design could significantly reduce both urban heat islands effect and air pollution.
