Methodology and Indicators of Economy‐wide Material Flow Accounting
Marina Fischer-Kowalski,Fridolin Krausmann,Stefan Giljum,Stephan Lutter,Andreas Mayer,Stefan Bringezu,Yuichi Moriguchi,Helmut Schütz,Heinz Schandl,Helga Weisz +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the state of the art of economywide material flow accounting (MFA) and discuss sources of inconsistencies and variations for some indicators and trends, concluding that the methodology has reached a certain maturity: Coefficients of variation between databases lie in the range of 10% to 20%.
Journal ArticleDOI

Jan C. Minx,Giovanni Baiocchi,Giovanni Baiocchi,Thomas Wiedmann,Thomas Wiedmann,John Barrett,Felix Creutzig,Kuishuang Feng,Michael Förster,Peter-Paul Pichler,Helga Weisz,Klaus Hubacek +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use a hybrid method for estimating the carbon footprint of cities and other human settlements in the UK explicitly linking global supply chains to local consumption activities and associated lifestyles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reducing energy and material flows in cities
Helga Weisz,Julia K. Steinberger +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the recent literature on urban energy and material use, and their reduction potential, focusing on three aspects: the urban form, the urban building stock, and urban consumption patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI
The environmental footprint of health care: a global assessment.
Manfred Lenzen,Arunima Malik,Mengyu Li,Jacob Fry,Helga Weisz,Helga Weisz,Peter-Paul Pichler,Leonardo Suveges Moreira Chaves,Leonardo Suveges Moreira Chaves,Anthony Capon,Anthony Capon,David Pencheon +11 more
TL;DR: This multiregional input-output analysis evaluated the contribution of health-care sectors in driving environmental damage that in turn puts human health at risk and quantified the direct and indirect supply-chain environmental damage driven by the demand for health care.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: New, city-level estimates of CO2 emissions for 182 Chinese cities are presented and sector-based analysis of each city suggests that technological improvements could be a practical and effective means of reducing emissions while maintaining growth and the current economic structure and energy system.
