TLDR
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.About:

Occupants have little influence on the overall energy consumption in district heated apartment buildings
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate how occupant behavior in a neutral environment influences the overall greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption of multi-family apartment buildings, and establish which activities associated with housing companies produce the most greenhouse gases emissions.

Narasimha D. Rao,Jihoon Min +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a wide range of income elasticities of emissions (0.7-1.0) and scenarios from the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP) with the highest and lowest between-country inequality were used to quantify the relationship between climate change and economic inequality.

Environmental Repercussions And The Economic Structure: An Input-Output Approach
TL;DR: In each of its many forms it is related in a measurable way to some particular consumption or production process: the quantity of carbon monoxide released in the air bears, for example, a definite relationship to the amount of fuel burned by various types of automotive engines; discharge of polluted water into our streams and lakes is linked directly to the level of output of the steel, the paper, the textile and all the other water-using industries and its amount depends, in each instance, on the technological characteristics of the particular industry as mentioned in this paper.

Examining the global environmental impact of regional consumption activities — Part 2: Review of input–output models for the assessment of environmental impacts embodied in trade
TL;DR: Turner et al. as mentioned in this paper presented a detailed review of single and multi-region input-output models used to assess environmental impacts of internationally traded goods and services, and identified six major models that employ multi-sector, multi-Region inputoutput analysis in order to calculate environmental impacts embodied in international trade.
