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...
Abstract Despite China’s emissions having plateaued in 2013, it is still the world’s leading energy consumer and CO 2 emitter, accounting for approximately 30% of global emissions. Detailed emission inventories by sector have great significance to carbon policies as well achieving climate change mitigation targets. This study constructs most up-to-date China its 30 provinces, their years 2016 2017. The newly compiled provide key updates supplements our previous dataset 1997–2015. Emissions...
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
The considerable cessation of human activities during the COVID-19 pandemic has affected global energy use and CO2 emissions. Here we show unprecedented decrease in fossil emissions from January to April 2020 was 7.8% (938 Mt with a +6.8% 2-{\sigma} uncertainty) when compared period last year. In addition other emerging estimates COVID impacts based on monthly supply or estimated parameters, this study contributes another step that constructed near-real-time daily emission inventories...
Recent studies have shown that the high standard of living enjoyed by people in richest countries often comes at expense CO2 emissions produced with technologies low efficiency less affluent, developing countries. Less apparent is this relationship between developed and can exist within a single country's borders, rich regions consuming exporting high-value goods services depend upon production low-cost emission-intensive from poorer same country. As world's largest emitter CO2, China...
China's rapidly growing economy and energy consumption are creating serious environmental problems on both local global scales. Understanding the key drivers behind associated CO2 emissions is critical for development of climate policies provides insight into how other emerging economies may develop a low future. Using recently released Chinese economic input-output data structural decomposition analysis we analyze changes in technology, structure, urbanization, lifestyles affect emissions....
This article provides an overview of how generalised multi-regional input–output models can be used for carbon footprint applications. We focus on the relevance and suitability such evidence to inform decision making. Such is currently missing. Drawing UK results, we cover applications in seven areas: national emissions inventories trade, emission drivers, economic sectors, supply chains, organisations, household consumption lifestyles as well sub-national inventories. The highlights...
Significance Freshwater resources are unevenly distributed in China. This situation drives a significant amount of water flow both physically and virtually across Here, we report on our quantification China’s physical virtual flows associated stress at the provincial level. In 2007, interprovincial amounted to only small part total supply, but over one-third supply. We found that exacerbated for main water-exporting provinces. The results highlight need more emphasis be placed demand...
China is the world's largest energy consumer and CO2 emitter. Cities contribute 85% of total emissions in thus are considered as key areas for implementing policies designed climate change adaption emission mitigation. However, inventory construction Chinese cities has not been well researched, mainly owing to lack systematic statistics poor data quality. Focusing on this research gap, we developed a set methods constructing inventories based balance table. The newly constructed compiled...
Significance International trade affects global air pollution and transport by redistributing emissions related to production of goods services potentially altering the total amount emissions. Here we analyze influences combining an economic-emission analysis on China’s bilateral atmospheric chemical modeling. Our focused US quality shows that Chinese for exports contributes, at a maximum daily basis, 12–24% sulfate over western United States. The outsourcing manufacturing China might have...
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...
China's economy has been growing at an accelerated rate from 2002 to 2005 and with it carbon emissions. It is easier understand the growth in emissions by considering which consumption activities ‐ households government, capital investments, international trade drive Chinese production hence This paper adopts structural decomposition analysis, a macro‐economic approach using data national statistical offices, investigate drivers of recent CO 2 surge. The speed efficiency gains sectors cannot...
