Abstract China is the world’s top energy consumer and CO 2 emitter, accounting for 30% of global emissions. Compiling an accurate China’s emissions first step in implementing reduction policies. However, no annual, officially published data exist China. The current estimated by academic institutes scholars exhibit great discrepancies. gap between different estimates approximately equal to total Russian Federation (the 4th highest emitter globally) 2011. In this study, we constructed...
This study seeks to estimate the carbon implications of recent changes in China's economic development patterns and role global trade post-financial-crisis era. We utilised latest socioeconomic datasets compile 2012 multiregional input-output (MRIO) table. Environmentally extended analysis structural decomposition (SDA) were applied investigate driving forces behind CO
Economic globalization and concomitant growth in international trade since the late 1990s have profoundly reorganized global production activities related CO2 emissions. Here we show among developing nations (i.e., South-South trade) has more than doubled between 2004 2011, which reflects a new phase of globalization. Some are relocating from China India to other countries, particularly raw materials intermediate goods energy-intensive sectors. In turn, emissions embodied Chinese exports...
Technological advancement in industrializing cities is critical for reducing CO 2 emissions while maintaining economic growth.
Abstract China has entered the economic transition in post-financial crisis era, with unprecedented new features that significantly lead to a decline its carbon emissions. However, regional disparity implies different trajectories decarbonisation. Here, we construct multi-regional input–output tables (MRIO) for 2012 and 2015 quantitatively evaluate decarbonisation driving forces during 2012–2015. We found China’s consumption-based emissions peaked 2013, largely driven by peak from developing...
The Chinese economy has been recovering slowly from the global financial crisis, but it cannot achieve same rapid development of pre-recession period. Instead, country entered a new phase economic development—a 'new normal'. We use structural decomposition analysis and environmental input–output to estimate determinants China's carbon emission changes during 2005–2012. imports are linked multi-regional model based on Global Trade Analysis Project database calculate embodied CO2 emissions in...
Abstract Mercury (Hg) exposure poses substantial risks to human health. Investigating a longer chain from economic activities health can reveal the sources and critical processes of Hg-related risks. Thus, we develop more comprehensive assessment method which is applied mainland China—the largest global Hg emitter. We present map in China estimate that 0.14 points per-foetus intelligence quotient (IQ) decrements 7,360 deaths fatal heart attacks are related intake methylmercury 2010. This...
Abstract Global production fragmentation generates indirect socioeconomic and environmental impacts throughout its expanded supply chains. The multi-regional input-output model (MRIO) is a tool commonly used to trace the chain understand spillover effects across regions, but often cannot be applied due data unavailability, especially at sub-national level. Here, we present MRIO tables for 2012, 2015, 2017 31 provinces of mainland China in 42 economic sectors. We employ hybrid methods...
The household energy mix has significant impacts on human health and climate, as it contributes greatly to many health- climate-relevant air pollutants. Compared the well-established urban statistical system, rural system is incomplete often associated with high biases. Via a nationwide investigation, this study revealed contributions supply from coal biomass fuels in sector, while electricity comprised ∼20%. Stacking (the use of multiple sources energy) significant, average number types was...
Achieving low-carbon development of the cement industry in developing countries is fundamental to global emissions abatement, considering local construction industry's rapid growth. However, there currently a lack systematic and accurate accounting projection countries, which are characterized with lower basic economic country condition. Here, we provide bottom-up quantifications from production reveal regional shift main contributors CO2 emissions. The study further explores over 2020-2050...
International trade affects CO2 emissions by redistributing production activities to places where the emission intensities are different from place of consumption. This study focuses on net change as result narrowing gap in between exporter and importer. Here we show that relocation global North (developed countries) South (developing early 2000s leads an increase due higher China India. The related about one-third total embodied South-North trade. However, changing patterns results...
Abstract Many economies set climate mitigation targets for 2020 at the 2009 15th Conference of Parties conference United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Copenhagen. Yet no retrospective review implementation and actual associated with these has materialized. Here we track national CO 2 emissions from both territory consumption (trade adjusted) perspectives to assess socioeconomic factors affecting changes emissions. Among 34 countries analysed, 12 failed meet their (among...
