Towards a unified carbon accounting landscape

The overarching purpose of carbon accounting is to reduce carbon emissions to meet net-zero targets and minimize the impact of climate change. However, the plethora of methods and approaches used…

Leverage points for tackling unsustainable global value chains: market-based measures versus transformative alternatives

Tropical forests are rapidly disappearing due to the expansion of cash crops to meet demands from distant markets. Pressing concerns on deforestation impacts resulting from the global trade of…

Towards accepted procedures for calculating international consumption-based carbon accounts

ABSTRACT Since the early 1990s, global trade has doubled, with a corresponding increase in emissions embodied in trade. Standard accounting of emissions counts the ‘territorial’ emissions that occur…

Sharing responsibility for trade-related emissions based on economic benefits

Meeting the Costs of Decarbonising Industry – the Potential Effects on Prices and Competitiveness (a Case Study of the UK)

Industry produces a third of global greenhouse gas emissions and needs to be decarbonised as countries strive for net zero. But how might the costs of this be met and what effect might the options…

Discrepancies in Carbon Emissions Accounting for Korea’s Steel Industry: A Comparative Analysis of GTAP and OECD ICIO Databases

The European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) underscores the need for accurate carbon emissions assessment, particularly for Korea’s steel sector, which faces high exposure due to…

Implications of the consumption-based accounting for future national emissions budgets

ABSTRACT As a complement of production-based accounting (PBA), consumption-based accounting (CBA) provides an alternative perspective to understand national emissions and responsibilities for global…

Determinants of consumption-based and production-based carbon emissions

Understanding the determinants of CO_2 emissions remains crucial in addressing global climate change. This paper investigates the drivers of CO_2 emissions from both consumption and production across…

A Study Regarding the Relationship between Carbon Emissions, Energy Consumption, and Economic Development in the Context of the Energy Growth Nexus

As the EU strives to achieve its climate goals, it is becoming increasingly crucial to understand the complex relationships between economic activity, energy consumption, and carbon emissions. In…

Quantifying GHG emissions enabled by capital and labor: Economic and gender inequalities in France

Many studies have investigated the carbon footprint of households. They rely on consumption‐based responsibility and focus on how many emissions are embodied in a product. Here we open a new field by…

National greenhouse-gas accounting for effective climate policy on international trade

A consumption-based carbon accounting method that takes into account how national policy changes affect emissions redraws the global emissions map.

Multiple carbon accounting to support just and effective climate policies

Greenhouse gas emissions can be allocated to individual countries in various ways depending on where in the supply chain the emissions originated; achieving an effective and just climate policy may…

Circular economy: Lessons from China

The country consumes the most resources in the world and produces the most waste — but it also has the most advanced solutions, say John A. Mathews and Hao Tan.

FORTHCOMING SPECIAL ISSUE: CONSUMPTION-BASED CARBON ACCOUNTING AND POLICIES Quantifying the potential for consumer-oriented policy to reduce European and foreign carbon emissions

The EU Carbon-CAP project assembled a comprehensive portfolio of consumer initiatives in order to assess the potential total impact of consumer options on national carbon footprints. Existing…

The raw material basis of global value chains: allocating environmental responsibility based on value generation

ABSTRACT A new approach to allocate environmental responsibility, the ‘value added-based responsibility’ allocation, is presented in this article. This metric allocates total environmental pressures…

The structure, drivers and policy implications of the European carbon footprint

ABSTRACT Policy to reduce the European Union’s (EU) carbon footprint needs to be grounded in an understanding of the structure and drivers of both the domestic and internationally traded components.…

Towards accepted procedures for calculating international consumption-based carbon accounts

ABSTRACT Since the early 1990s, global trade has doubled, with a corresponding increase in emissions embodied in trade. Standard accounting of emissions counts the ‘territorial’ emissions that occur…

The impact of implementing a consumption charge on carbon-intensive materials in Europe

ABSTRACT The production of basic materials accounts for around 25% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Existing measures to reduce emissions from industry are limited due to a combination of…
