Growth in emission transfers via international trade from 1990 to 2008
TL;DR: A trade-linked global database for CO2 emissions covering 113 countries and 57 economic sectors from 1990 to 2008 indicates that international trade is a significant factor in explaining the change in emissions in many countries, from both a production and consumption perspective.
Journal ArticleDOI
Food-Miles and the Relative Climate Impacts of Food Choices in the United States
TL;DR: It is suggested that dietary shift can be a more effective means of lowering an average household's food-related climate footprint than "buying local" and achieves more GHG reduction than buying all locally sourced food.
Journal ArticleDOI
The contribution of Chinese exports to climate change
TL;DR: The authors found that around one third of China's CO 2 emissions were due to production of exports, and this proportion has risen from 12% (230 Mt) in 1987 and only 21% (760 Mt), as recently as 2002, indicating that consumption in the developed world is driving this trend.
Journal ArticleDOI
The drivers of Chinese CO2 emissions from 1980 to 2030
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess the driving forces of China's CO2 emissions from 1980 to 2030 and show that household consumption, capital investment and growth in exports will largely drive the increase in CO2 emission.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantifying the global and distributional aspects of American household carbon footprint
TL;DR: This paper analyzed the global and distributional aspects of American household carbon footprint and found that 30% of total US household CO 2 impact in 2004 occurred outside the US and that households vary considerably in their CO 2 responsibilities: at least a factor of ten difference exists between low and high-impact households.
