Drivers of GHG emissions from dietary transition patterns in China: Supply versus demand options
Diets have been changing drastically in China in the recent decades and this change has contributed considerably to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In determining effective mitigation strategies for future emissions, it is necessary to know how emissions related to diet vary over time in overall magnitude and due to compositional changes driven by socioeconomic dynamics. This study evaluates the change in dietary GHG emissions in China during the…
Global to local impacts on atmospheric CO 2 from the Covid-19 lockdown, biosphere and weather variabilities
The worldwide lockdown in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in year 2020 led to an economic slowdown and a large reduction in fossil fuel CO 2 emissions (Le Quéré 2020 Nat. Clim. Change 10 647–53, Liu 2020 Nat. Commun. 11 ); however, it is unclear how much it would slow the increasing trend of atmospheric CO 2 concentration, the main driver of climate change, and whether this impact can be observed considering the large biosphere and weather vari…
Reduced health burden and economic benefits of cleaner fuel usage from household energy consumption across rural and urban China
Energy consumption in the residential sector is increasing rapidly in China. This study applies an integrated assessment model to investigate the adverse impacts of household energy consumption by various fuel types across rural and urban areas on age- and sex-specific premature deaths associated with PM 2.5 pollution at provincial levels for 2015. We further estimate the economic and health co-benefits of a switch from solid fuels to electricity…

Near-real-time monitoring of global CO2 emissions reveals the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic is impacting human activities, and in turn energy use and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions. Here we present daily estimates of country-level CO 2 emissions for different sectors based on near-real-time activity data. The key result is an abrupt 8.8% decrease in global CO 2 emissions (−1551 Mt CO 2 ) in the first half of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. The magnitude of this decrease is larger than during previous ec…
How do weather and climate change impact the Covid-19 pandemic? Evidence from the Chinese mainland
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to expand, while the relationship between weather conditions and the spread of the virus remains largely debatable. In this paper, we attempt to examine this question by employing a flexible econometric model coupled with fine-scaled hourly temperature variations and a rich set of covariates for 291 cities in the Chinese mainland. More importantly, we combine the baseline estimates with climate-change projections f…

Global urban expansion offsets climate-driven increases in terrestrial net primary productivity
The global urbanization rate is accelerating; however, data limitations have far prevented robust estimations of either global urban expansion or its effects on terrestrial net primary productivity (NPP). Here, using a high resolution dataset of global land use/cover (GlobeLand30), we show that global urban areas expanded by an average of 5694 km 2 per year between 2000 and 2010. The rapid urban expansion in the past decade has in turn reduced gl…

The rise of South–South trade and its effect on global CO2 emissions
Economic globalization and concomitant growth in international trade since the late 1990s have profoundly reorganized global production activities and related CO 2 emissions. Here we show trade among developing nations (i.e., South–South trade) has more than doubled between 2004 and 2011, which reflects a new phase of globalization. Some production activities are relocating from China and India to other developing countries, particularly raw mate…

Outsourcing CO 2 within China
Recent studies have shown that the high standard of living enjoyed by people in the richest countries often comes at the expense of CO 2 emissions produced with technologies of low efficiency in less affluent, developing countries. Less apparent is that this relationship between developed and developing can exist within a single country’s borders, with rich regions consuming and exporting high-value goods and services that depend upon production …

Human capital externalities in cities: Evidence from Chinese manufacturing firms
We investigate whether increased geographic concentration of human capital generates positive externalities that benefit firms located in the area. Using a panel of Chinese manufacturing firms, we find a positive and statistically significant relationship between firm productivity and city-level human capital. This result is robust to alternative model specifications and estimation methods used and distinguishable from the effect of industry aggl…
The socioeconomic drivers of China’s primary PM 2.5 emissions
Primary PM2.5 emissions contributed significantly to poor air quality in China. We present an interdisciplinary study to measure the magnitudes of socioeconomic factors in driving primary PM2.5 emission changes in China between 1997–2010, by using a regional emission inventory as input into an environmentally extended input–output framework and applying structural decomposition analysis. Our results show that China's significant efficiency gains …

This study seeks to estimate the carbon implications of recent changes in China’s economic development patterns and role in global trade in the post-financial-crisis era. We utilised the latest socioeconomic datasets to compile China’s 2012 multiregional input-output (MRIO) table. Environmentally extended input-output analysis and structural decomposition analysis (SDA) were applied to investigate the driving forces behind changes in CO 2 emissio…
Methodology and applications of city level CO2 emission accounts in China
China is the world's largest energy consumer and CO2 emitter. Cities contribute 85% of the total CO2 emissions in China and thus are considered as the key areas for implementing policies designed for climate change adaption and CO2 emission mitigation. However, the emission inventory construction of Chinese cities has not been well researched, mainly owing to the lack of systematic statistics and poor data quality. Focusing on this research gap, …
Pattern changes in determinants of Chinese emissions
The Chinese economy has been recovering slowly from the global financial crisis, but it cannot achieve the same rapid development of the pre-recession period. Instead, the country has entered a new phase of economic development—a 'new normal'. We use a structural decomposition analysis and environmental input–output analysis to estimate the determinants of China's carbon emission changes during 2005–2012. China's imports are linked to a global mu…

City-level climate change mitigation in China
Technological advancement in industrializing cities is critical for reducing CO 2 emissions while maintaining economic growth.
China CO2 emission accounts 1997–2015
China is the world’s top energy consumer and CO 2 emitter, accounting for 30% of global emissions. Compiling an accurate accounting of China’s CO 2 emissions is the first step in implementing reduction policies. However, no annual, officially published emissions data exist for China. The current emissions estimated by academic institutes and scholars exhibit great discrepancies. The gap between the different emissions estimates is approximately e…
Global energy growth is outpacing decarbonization
Recent reports have highlighted the challenge of keeping global average temperatures below 2 C and -even more so-1.5 C (IPCC 2018). Fossil-fuel burning and cement production release 90% of all CO 2 emissions from human activities. After a three-year hiatus with stable global emissions (Jackson et al 2016; Le Qur C et al 2018a ; IEA 2018), CO 2 emissions grew by 1.6% in 2017 to 36.2 Gt (billion tonnes), and are expected to grow a further 2.7% in 2…
