TL;DR: China’s carbon emissions are re-evaluated using updated and harmonized energy consumption and clinker production data and two new and comprehensive sets of measured emission factors for Chinese coal, finding that total energy consumption in China was 10 per cent higher in 2000–2012 than the value reported by China's national statistics, and that emission factors are on average 40 per cent lower than the default values recommended by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

TL;DR: It is found that 57% of China’s emissions are related to goods that are consumed outside of the province where they are produced, and consumption-based accounting of emissions can inform effective and equitable climate policy within China.

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.

TL;DR: In this article, a global multiregional input-output model with sectoral detail allows for the accounting of land use attributed to "unusual" sectors, including services, machinery and equipment, and construction.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared and discussed the advantages and limitations of the water footprint of nations based on two input-output top-down approaches (Water Embodied in Bilateral Trade (WEBT) and Multi-regional Input-Output Analysis (MRIO)) and of the existing national water footprint accounts from the literature based on the bottom-up approach.
