Abstract
An increment in carbon dioxide (\(CO _2\)) results in global warming posed a threat to the mankind. Mitigation of anthropogenic \(CO _2\) emission is important for climate change alleviation. In this regard, some significant steps are taken by the government of every country, which requires budget. In this paper, to observe the effect of budget allocation on the abatement of atmospheric concentration of \(CO _2\), a non-linear mathematical model is formulated and analyzed. In the modeling process, it is considered that a part of the available budget is used for the control of anthropogenic emission and the remaining part of budget is used for afforestation and reforestation. For the proposed model, feasibility and stability of all the equilibria have been discussed. From the model analysis, we have derived that how much budget one should spend on controlling the anthropogenic emission of \(CO _2\) and afforestation/reforestation. Furthermore, numerical simulation has been performed to support analytical findings. It has been shown that the atmospheric level of \(CO _2\) can be reduced to an innocuous level if the efficacy of allocated budget to control the anthropogenic emission of \(CO _2\) and afforestation/reforestation increases. Moreover, it is found that the growth rate of budget allocation due to an increase in atmospheric level of carbon dioxide may cause stability switch through Hopf-bifurcation.

Appendices
Appendix A
Proof
From the third equation of the model system (1), we have
Using the theory of differential inequality, we have
From the second equation of model system, we have
Using the same argument as before
Now, from the first equation of the model system
Then, we have
Similarly, we can show that
\(\square \)
Appendix B
Proof
For any \(N \ge 0\), we have \(\frac{\text {d}N}{\text {d}t}\bigg |_{N=0} = 0\) which implies that \(N = 0\) is invariant manifold. Due to continuity of system, we can conclude that N would never go below zero if its initial condition is non-negative. Therefore
provided that \(\left( \alpha C_0 - \frac{\nu k B_m}{q_1 + kB_m}N_m\right) > 0\). Moreover
provided \(r + \eta (C_a - C_0). > 0\). From third equation of the model system (1), we have
provided that \(\left( u - \phi N_m + \frac{\mu (1-k)B_a}{q_2+(1-k)B_a}\right) > 0\). From the second equation of the model (1), we have
provided that \((s - \theta (C_m - C_0) + \pi \phi F_a) > 0\). Taking \(M_1 = \min (C_a, N_a, F_a, B_a)\), we have
, and from Lemma 1, the system is uniformly bounded. Hence, the system is persistence. \(\square \)
Appendix C
Proof
In this part, we will proof the result for direction of bifurcating periodic solutions. For this, we translate the origin to the interior equilibrium \(E^*\), by substituting \(C = C^* + x_1\), \(N = N^* + x_2\), \(F = F^* + x_3\) and \(B = B^* + x_4\), where \(x = (x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4)^T\) are small perturbation. Now, we have following system:
where
In the above expression, we are not interested in coefficient of third or higher degree. Now, the system takes the form
where
and
The eigenvectors \(u_1\), \(u_2\), and \(u_3\) of the Jacobian matrix \(J^*\) corresponding to the eigenvalues \(i\omega _0\), \(\rho _3\), and \(\rho _4\) are obtained as follows:
Here
Define \(U = (Re(u_1), -Im(u_1), u_2, u_3)\), that is
The matrix U is non-singular, such that
Inverse of matrix U is given by
Consider the transformation \(x = Uw\), i.e., \(w = U^{-1}x\), where \(w = (w_1, w_2, w_3, w_4)\). Under the linear transformation, the system takes the form
where \(g(w) = U^{-1}G(Uw)\). This can be written as
where \(g = (g^1, g^2, g^3, g^4)^T\)
here,
Furthermore, we can calculate \(h_{11}\), \(h_{02}\), \(h_{20}\), \(H_{21}\), \(H_{110}^1\), \(H_{110}^2\), \(H_{101}^1\), \(H_{101}^2\), \(\sigma _{11}^1\), \(\sigma _{11}^2\), \(\sigma _{20}^1\), \(\sigma _{20}^2\) following the procedure given in Hassard et al (Hassard et al. 1981). Using the above, we can find the following quantities:
where, \(\phi '(0) = \frac{d}{d\eta }(Re(\rho (\eta )))|_{\eta =\eta _c}\) and \(\sigma '(0) = \frac{d}{d\eta }(Im(\rho (\eta )))|_{\eta =\eta _c}.\) \(\square \)
