Significance Our quantification of energy and material flows for the world’s 27 megacities is a major undertaking, not previously achieved. The sheer magnitude these (e.g., 9% global electricity, 10% gasoline; 13% solid waste) shows importance in addressing environmental challenges. In aggregate resource through are consistent with scaling laws cities. Statistical relations established electricity use, heating/industrial fuels, ground transportation, water consumption, waste generation,...
Cities are considered major contributors to global warming, where carbon emissions highly embedded in the overall urban metabolism. To examine metabolic processes and emission trajectories we developed a flux model based on Network Environ Analysis (NEA). The mutual interactions control situation within ecosystem of Vienna were examined, system-level properties city's metabolism assessed. Regulatory strategies minimize identified through tracking possible pathways that affect these...
China has enacted a number of ambitious pollution control policies to mitigate air in urban areas. Unintended side effects these other environmental policy arenas and regions have largely been ignored. To bridge this gap, we use multiregional input-output model combination with an atmospheric chemical transport simulate clean scenarios evaluate their impacts on primary PM2.5 secondary precursor emissions, as well CO2 emissions water consumption, the target region spillover regions. Our...
The virtual water strategy which advocates importing intensive products and exporting with low intensity is gradually accepted as one of the options for solving crisis in severely scarce regions. However, if we count embodied imported saved a region, might overestimate saving by including that later re-exported association proceeded made from originally products. This problem can be avoided accounting through calculating footprint (WF) domestic final consumptive In this paper, an...
China's water scarcity problems have become more severe because of the unprecedented economic development and population explosion. Considering agriculture's large share consumption, obtaining a clear understanding Chinese agricultural consumptive use plays key role in addressing resource stress providing appropriate mitigation policies. We account for footprint from 1990 to 2009 based on bottom up approach. Then, underlying driving forces are decomposed into diet structure effect,...
The notions of virtual water flows provide important indicators to manifest the consumption and allocation between different sectors via product transactions. However, configuration network (VWN) still needs further investigation identify interdependency among as well efficiency stability in a socio-economic system. Ecological analysis is chosen useful tool examine structure function VWN interactions its sectors. A balance redundancy also conducted describe robustness (RVWN) VWN. Then,...
The "stove-pipe" way of thinking has been mostly used in mitigating carbon emissions and managing socioeconomics because its convenience implementation. However, systems-oriented approaches become imperative pursuit an efficient regulation from systems as complicated urban systems. aim this paper is to establish a dynamic network approach that capable assessing the effectiveness mitigation more holistic way. A metabolic constructed by modeling flows between economic sectors environment. With...
Abstract Urban activities have profound and lasting effects on the global carbon balance. Here we develop a consistent metabolic approach that combines two complementary accounts, physical balance fossil fuel-derived gaseous footprint, to track coming into, being added urban stocks, eventually leaving city. We find over 88% of in 16 cities is imported from outside their boundaries, this outsourcing notably amplified by virtual emissions upstream contribute 33–68% total inflows. While 13–33%...
