Carbon budgets and climate footprints
This study develops a novel, national-accounts-consistent framework that couples monetary and physical supply-use with input–output tables and multiregional input–output analysis to track biogenic carbon and fossil GHGs in Sweden’s forest-based economy. It yields integrated production- and consumption-based balances that reconcile forest carbon stock change with wood-based products stocks and supply-chain fossil GHG emissions. Sweden’s forest-bas…

Implications of demographic policies on China’s food-related environmental footprints amid population ageing
Older adults (> 60 years) would dominate food-related environmental footprints after 2040. • Nationwide land use is projected to rise, whereas GHG emissions, eutrophication and water footprints would decline. • China’s demographic policies might increase total environmental footprints by 3–18% by 2050. • Land use is the most policy-sensitive footprint, with its peak delayed by at least a decade under strong fertility policies. • Adopting plant-ri…
Psychoanalytic Reflections on Vladimir Putin
"Psychoanalytic Reflections on Vladimir Putin: The Cost of Malignant Leadership attempts to explore the core psychodynamics that appear to characterize Vladimir Putin's presidency. Its contributors examine the nature of the leader-follower relationship, the costs of malignant leadership, and the larger historical context in which Putin's presidency is unfolding. The sobering threat of nuclear war is considered. Finally, the viability and ethics o…
Exiobase energy accounts
As environmentally extended input–output tables are increasingly used for footprint and supply chain analysis, there has been a growing demand for precise, reliable, and intertemporally consistent environmental accounts. Energy accounts are particularly relevant. As well as providing insights into embodied energy, in the case of the multi‐regional input–output (MRIO) database EXIOBASE, they are the basis of the air emissions from fuel combustion.…

Toward global and national toxicity footprints
Estimating comprehensive toxicity footprints, encompassing potential impacts of toxic releases from consumption on human health and ecosystems, remains challenging due to the absence of complete emission inventories and disaggregation in global economic sectors. This study proposes an integrative approach to evaluate the global toxicity footprint by combining multiple databases, inventorying methods gap‐filling/extrapolation techniques, and envir…
Rising carbon inequality and its driving factors from 2005 to 2015
Carbon inequality is the gap in carbon footprints between the rich and the poor, reflecting an uneven distribution of wealth and mitigation responsibility. Whilst much is known about the level of inequality surrounding responsibility for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, little is known about the evolution in carbon inequality and how the carbon footprints of socio-economic groups have developed over time. Inequality can be reduced either by improv…

Assessing the impact of parametric uncertainty on tipping points of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation
Various elements of the Earth system have the potential to undergo critical transitions to a radically different state, under sustained changes to climate forcing. The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) is of particular importance for North Atlantic heat transport and is thought to be potentially at risk of passing such a tipping point (TP). In climate models, the location and likelihood of such TPs depends on model parameters tha…
Material efficiency for climate change mitigation
Trends in national biodiversity footprints of land use
Rising incomes (and associated expenditures) have been shown to be a major driver of environmental problems. Lately, several studies have pointed to a break between the income driver and biodiversity loss on a per-capita level. The increase in land-use efficiency is pointed to as a key factor in this decoupling. However, a lot of the previous work on biodiversity footprints has been cross-sectional and there is limited analysis with a temporal pe…
The unequal distribution of household carbon footprints in Europe and its link to sustainability
Non-technical summary The distribution of household carbon footprints is largely unequal within and across countries. Here, we explore household-level consumption data to illustrate the distribution of carbon footprints and consumption within 26 European Union countries, regions and social groups. The analysis further sheds light on the relationships between carbon footprints and socially desirable outcomes such as income, equality, education, nu…
Hybridization of complete PLCA and MRIO databases for a comprehensive product system coverage
Process‐based Life Cycle Assessments (PLCA) rely on detailed descriptions of extensive value chains and their associated exchanges with the environment, but major data gaps limit the completeness of these system descriptions and lead to truncations in inventories and underestimations of impacts. Hybrid Life Cycle Assessments (HLCA) aim to combine the strength of PLCA and Environmentally Extended Input Output (EEIO) analysis to obtain more specifi…

Consequences of long-term infrastructure decisions—the case of self-healing roads and their CO 2 emissions
What could be the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions if the conventional way of maintaining roads is changed? Emissions of greenhouse gases must be reduced if global warming is to be avoided, and urgent political and technological decisions should be taken. However, there is a lock-in in built infrastructures that is limiting the rate at which emissions can be reduced. Self-healing asphalt is a new type of technology that will reduce the need …

Agricultural and forestry trade drives large share of tropical deforestation emissions
Deforestation, the second largest source of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, is largely driven by expanding forestry and agriculture. However, despite agricultural expansion being increasingly driven by foreign demand, the links between deforestation and foreign demand for agricultural commodities have only been partially mapped. Here we present a pan-tropical quantification of carbon emissions from deforestation associated with the expans…

The English loanwords in Papiamentu
Papiamentu, the vernacular of the islands of Curacao, Aruba and Bonaire, Netherlands Antilles, is an Afro-Iberian Creole. It appears to be descended from a Spanish-based Creole once widely used in the circum-Caribbean area, itself showing an Afro-Portuguese substrate, whose existence has recently been posited. * Another closely related Afro-Hispanic Creole, Palenquero, is in use in a village in northern Colombia, and there are relics of similar C…

Counter‐punching on the Mudzi
Designed to harrass and weaken Ian Smith's principal enemy, Robert Mugabe, in his safe haven of Mozambique, Operation 'Mardon' involved co‐ordinated incursions over the Rhodesian border on a wide front. The secondary purpose was to persuade the African nationalist insurgents to abandon their incursion routes in the north‐east and south‐east in favour of those from the east where the mountainous terrain favoured their interception. Although other …

A Material History of Australia
This article presents an analysis of the material history of Australia in the period 1975–2005. The values of economy‐wide indicators of material flow roughly trebled since 1975, and we identify the drivers of this change through structural decomposition analysis. The purpose of this work is to delve beneath the top‐level trends in material flow growth to investigate the structural changes in the economy that have been driving this growth. The ma…
Aggregate Measures of Complex Economic Structure and Evolution
It is perhaps in the nature of complex systems that they call for aggregate measures that enable analysts to grasp their structure and evolution without being overwhelmed by their very complexity. Complex interindustry theory and models are a typical case, where the underlying database—an input−output table—routinely contains thousands of data points for a single year. Within input−output analysis, quantitative measures have been developed that d…

Uncertainty Analysis for Multi-Region Input–output Models – A Case Study of the Uk's Carbon Footprint
This paper reviews and demonstrates methods available for estimating standard deviations for carbon multipliers in a multi-regional input–output (MRIO) framework. We attempt to capture all possible variations of underlying data and calculation procedures in a global MRIO model constructed with particular focus on the UK. We consider these variations to be random, and determine the stochastic variation of the whole MRIO system using Monte Carlo te…
A Carbon Footprint Time Series of the Uk – Results From a Multi-Region Input–output Model
The framework and results of an international multi-region input–output (MRIO) model for the UK are presented. A time series of balanced input–output tables for the UK was constructed for the period 1992 to 2004 by using a matrix balancing procedure that is able to handle conflicting external data and inconsistent constraints. Detailed sectoral and country-specific trade data for the UK were compiled and reconciled with the UK input–output data, …

Global Sustainability Accounting—Developing Exiobase for Multi-Regional Footprint Analysis
Measuring progress towards sustainable development requires appropriate frameworks and databases. The System of Environmental-Economic Accounts (SEEA) is undergoing continuous refinement with these objectives in mind. In SEEA, there is a need for databases to encompass the global dimension of societal metabolism. In this paper, we focus on the latest effort to construct a global multi-regional input−output database (EXIOBASE) with a focus on envi…
Convergence Between the Eora, Wiod, Exiobase, and Openeu's Consumption-Based Carbon Accounts
In this paper, we take an overview of several of the biggest independently constructed global multi-regional input–output (MRIO) databases and ask how reliable and consonant these databases are. The key question is whether MRIO accounts are robust enough for setting environmental policies. This paper compares the results of four global MRIOs: Eora, WIOD, EXIOBASE, and the GTAP-based OpenEU databases, and investigates how much each diverges from t…
Unified Theory of Allocations and Constructs in Life Cycle Assessment and Input‐Output Analysis
The treatment of coproducts is one of the most persistent methodological challenges for both input‐output (IO) analysis and life cycle assessment (LCA). The two fields have developed distinct modeling traditions to artificially extract independent Leontief production functions (technological “recipes”) for products of multioutput activities; whereas IO operates in terms of system‐wide models named constructs , LCA practitioners usually use alloca…
Dynamic Models of Fixed Capital Stocks and Their Application in Industrial Ecology
Industrial assets or fixed capital stocks are at the core of the transition to a low‐carbon economy. They represent substantial accumulations of capital, bulk materials, and critical metals. Their lifetime determines the potential for material recycling and how fast they can be replaced by new, more efficient facilities. Their efficiency determines the coupling between useful output and energy and material throughput. A sound understanding of the…
Labor Embodied in Trade
Global production chains carry environmental and socioeconomic impacts embodied in each traded good and service. Even though labor and energy productivities tend to be higher for domestic production in high‐income countries than those in emerging economies, this difference is significantly reduced for consumption, when including imported products to satisfy national demand. The analysis of socioeconomic and environmental aspects embodied in consu…
Effect of aggregation and disaggregation on embodied material use of products in input–output analysis
When Do Allocations and Constructs Respect Material, Energy, Financial, and Production Balances in LCA and Eeio
Conservation of mass and energy are essential to physical accounting, just as price and market balances are essential to economic accounting. These principles guide data collection and inventory compilation in industrial ecology. The resulting balanced surveys, however, can rarely be used directly for life cycle assessment (LCA) or environmentally extended input‐output (EEIO) analysis; some modeling is necessary to recast coproductions by multifu…
The Carbon Footprint of Norwegian Household Consumption 1999–2012
Environmentally extended input‐output analysis is the prevailing method for national environmental footprint accounting; however, its practical usefulness for consumers and policy makers suffers from lack of detail. Several extensive global multiregional input‐output (MRIO) databases have recently been released. A standard framework for linking such databases with the highly detailed household expenditure surveys that are conducted regularly by n…
Environmental Impact Assessment of Household Consumption
We analyze the environmental impact of household consumption in terms of the material, water, and land‐use requirements, as well as greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, associated with the production and use of products and services consumed by these households. Using the new EXIOBASE 2.2 multiregional input‐output database, which describes the world economy at the detail of 43 countries, five rest‐of‐the‐world regions, and 200 product sectors, we are…
