A look behind trend data in industrialization
TLDR
In this article, the authors examine the processes that occur within industrialization and reveal aspects that are obscured by trend data, in particular, the involvement of transnational corporations (TNCs) in industrialisation and environmental impacts.Abstract:
Trend data show the overall, aggregate picture of industrial development; they do not provide explanations nor show processes underlying trends in global industrialization. Examination of processes that occur within industrialization reveals aspects that are obscured by trend data, in particular, the Involvement of transnational corporations (TNCs) in industrialization and environmental impacts. Knowledge of processes occurring behind development practices may help to formulate policies addressing problems that are associated with industrialization, such as greenhouse gas emissions and national accountability. A greater understanding of the processes of industrialization may help to identify problems and find solutions that have both global and regional effects.read more

Double exposure: assessing the impacts of climate change within the context of economic globalization
Karen O'Brien,Robin Leichenko +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce the concept of double exposure as a framework for examining the simultaneous impacts of climate change and globalization, which refers to the fact that certain regions, sectors, ecosystems and social groups will be confronted both by climate change, and by the consequences of globalization.

Transnational linkages and the Spillover of Environment-Efficiency into Developing Countries
Richard Perkins,Eric Neumayer +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors empirically tested whether developing countries' linkages with more CO2 and SO2-efficient economies contribute to domestic improvements in CO 2 and SO 2-efficiency.

The Influence of Agricultural Trade and Livestock Production on the Global Phosphorus Cycle
TL;DR: In this article, the relative contributions of food crop, feed crop, and livestock product trade to P flows through agricultural soils for 12 countries from 1961 to 2007 were analyzed, showing that countries that are primarily agricultural exporters carried increased risks for water pollution or, for Argentina, reduced soil fertility due to soil P mining to support exports.

Transnational linkages and the spillover of environment-efficiency into developing countries
Richard Perkins,Eric Neumayer +1 more
TL;DR: The authors empirically tested whether developing countries' linkages with more CO2-and SO2-efficient economies contribute to domestic improvements in CO2 and SO2 efficiency. But neither transnational linkages via exports, inward foreign direct investment (FDI), nor telephone calls appear to have any influence on domestic pollution-efficiency.

How financial inclusion affects the collaborative reduction of pollutant and carbon emissions: The case of China
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors analyzed the impact of financial inclusion on the collaborative reduction of pollutant and carbon emissions using a sample of 30 Chinese provinces from 2011 to 2017, and showed that financial inclusion achieves the collaborative reductions of carbon emissions.

International Investment and International Trade in the Product Cycle
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on international investment and international trade in the product cycle and argue that it is a mistake to assume that equal access to scientific principles in all the advanced countries means equal probability of the application of these principles in the generation of new products.

Climate change : the IPCC scientific assessment
TL;DR: A review of the intergovernmental panel on climate change report on global warming and the greenhouse effect can be found in this paper, where the authors present chemistry of greenhouse gases and mathematical modelling of the climate system.
Global warming in an unequal world
Anil Agarwal,Sunita Narain +1 more
TL;DR: The authors argued that developing countries like India were being burdened unfairly with the responsibility of addressing climate change and argued for a fair allocation of natural sinks as an important part of any use of the global commons.
