Examining drivers of the emissions embodied in trade
PLOS ONE, 2017 Emissions embodied in provincial trade (EEPT) have important effects on provinces' responsibilities for carbon emission reductions. Based on a multi-regional input-output model, we calculated EEPT for China's 30 provinces in 2002, 2007 and 2010, and we attempted to determine the drivers of EEPT. The results showed that, during this period, the ratio of

Embodied CO2 emissions of equity portfolios for Chinese asset managers
Scientific DataAbstractThe 2015 Paris Agreement has set out the climate change target of limiting global warming to 1.5 °C, which poses a serious challenge to countries to reduce emissions. As the world’s largest carbon emitter, promoting the realization of the “dual-carbon” goal is the key to realizing China’s green transformation and high-quality development ...

Embodied Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Diets
PLoS ONE, 2013 Changing food consumption patterns and associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have been a matter of scientific debate for decades. The agricultural sector is one of the major GHG emitters and thus holds a large potential for climate change mitigation through optimal management and dietary changes.

An empirical investigation of the balance of embodied emission in trade: Industry structure and emission abatement [PDF]
Economic Modelling, 2020 Abstract By constructing the world panel dataset for the pollution emission embedded in international trade of 132 countries for the period between 1988 and 2008, we investigate whether the balance of embodied emission in trade (BEET) is consistent with the implication of pollution haven hypothesis (PHH). By using two differently constructed datasets,

Spatial and Temporal Variations of Embodied Carbon Emissions in China’s Infrastructure [PDF]
, 2019 The swift evolution of urbanization in China has led to a rapid increase in the demand for infrastructure. Infrastructure consumes significant amounts of construction materials. The production, packaging, transportation and use of these materials require

Embodied carbon emissions of buildings and how to tame them
, 2023 Building construction and operations are pivotal in climate mitigation efforts. While emissions from building operations can be easily reduced through renewable energy adoption and improved energy efficiency, the so-called “embodied” greenhouse gas (GHG)
