  • Slow and unequal reduction in Austrian household GHG footprints between 2000 and 2020

    Open AccessChristian Dorninger, Gingrich et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2025

    Understanding the trends and distribution of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions embodied in household consumption is pivotal to developing climate‐change mitigation strategies that are just and effective. While household GHG footprints inequality is increasingly investigated, less is known about its temporal dynamics across product groups. For the case of Austria, we (1) develop a database for household GHG footprints from 2000 to 2020 by combining m…

  • Geographical evolutionary political economy

    Open AccessJürgen Essletzbichler, Manuel Scholz-Wäckerle et al.ARTICLECambridge Journal of Regions…2023Cited by: 5References: 45

    This contribution argues that evolutionary economic geography needs to widen its conceptual apparatus in order to engage with the grand challenges of our times. Instead of understanding evolution as a gradual, path-dependent and geographically localized process, the current challenges result from various global political-economic transformations requiring an understanding of evolution as a outcome of variational and transformational change, the i…

  • Imperialist appropriation in the world economy

    Open AccessJason Hickel, Christian Dorninger et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2022Cited by: 116References: 12

    Unequal exchange theory posits that economic growth in the “advanced economies” of the global North relies on a large net appropriation of resources and labour from the global South, extracted through price differentials in international trade. Past attempts to estimate the scale and value of this drain have faced a number of conceptual and empirical limitations, and have been unable to capture the upstream resources and labour embodied in traded…

  • Reconnecting with nature for sustainability

    Open AccessChristopher D Ives, David J Abson et al.ARTICLESustainability Science2018Cited by: 38References: 10

    Calls for humanity to 'reconnect to nature' have grown increasingly louder from both scholars and civil society. Yet, there is relatively little coherence about what reconnecting to nature means, why it should happen and how it can be achieved. We present a conceptual framework to organise existing literature and direct future research on human-nature connections. Five types of connections to nature are identified: material, experiential, cogniti…

  • Assessing sustainable biophysical human–nature connectedness at regional scales

    Open AccessChristian Dorninger, David J Abson et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    Humans are biophysically connected to the biosphere through the flows of materials and energy appropriated from ecosystems. While this connection is fundamental for human well-being, many modern societies have-for better or worse-disconnected themselves from the natural productivity of their immediate regional environment. In this paper, we conceptualize the biophysical human-nature connectedness of land use systems at regional scales. We disting…

  • South America's biophysical involvement in international trade

    Open AccessChristian Dorninger, Stanislav ShmelevARTICLEJournal of Political Ecology2016Cited by: 1

    International trade is becoming increasingly important in the strategies of industrialized economies ('core' countries) to meet their physical needs and maintain their social metabolism. Less industrialized ('non-core') countries, in particular those with low population densities such as countries in South America, provide a large share of the natural resources currently being used by the 'core' countries. This article analyzes the relations of b…
