Analysis of the Gravity Movement and Decoupling State of China’s CO₂ Emission Embodied in Fixed Capital Formation

Energies, 2020
Investment is an essential engine of economic growth and a major source of China’s CO2 emission. It is therefore crucial to explore the gravity movement and decoupling state of China’s CO2 emission embodied in fixed capital formation (FCF).

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.

Embodied carbon emissions in China-US trade [PDF]

Science China Earth Sciences, 2020
China-US trade holds great significance for the world’s political and economic landscape. Since 2018, the US government has imposed additional tariffs on Chinese exports on the grounds of the US trade deficit with China. However, the transfer of pollutants embodied in trade and the differences in environmental costs between China and the US have not ...
