Scope-3 emissions and Nature impact throughout the value chain
This study applies and extends input–output (IO) analysis to new environmental reporting frameworks for integrated and standardised analysis that is comprehensive, while incorporating process-based data where practicable. This hybrid IO-LCA (life cycle analysis) research is the first to describe the application of spend-based- with income-based IO analysis across scope-3 Greenhouse Gas Protocol categories for an organisation; using the same under…
Attributing global impacts of local extremes to climate change for improving loss and damage estimates
The historic agreement to establish a Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage ('the Fund') at the 27th United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Conference of the Parties (COP) in 2022 introduced a new financial mechanism to assist countries that are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change in responding to loss and damage. The momentum on the Fund continued in 2023 at COP28 in Dubai, where the Fund's o…
Global supply chain drivers of scarce water caused by grain production in China
Impacts of global trade on cropland soil-phosphorus depletion and food security
Polarizing and equalizing trends in international trade and Sustainable Development Goals
The influence of international trade on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals is multi-faceted. International trade can either promote or hinder progress, thus directly impacting people, economies and livelihoods. Here we explore the relevance of consumption-based proxies, which capture global demand for goods and services, to assess progress towards Sustainable Development Goals. We link these proxies to environmental and social issue…
Outsourcing carbon emissions of the expanding affluent groups in China
From mines to consumption via global supply chains
Globalisation has narrowed the gap between producers and consumers, with complex global supply chain networks forming the basis of many of the products we consume today. Modern slavery risk is known to be an ‘invisible’ problem, as modern slavery impacts are embodied in products consumed in geographically distant regions. In this viewpoint, we highlight that modern slavery and disease risk interactions have not been explored in global supply chai…
Nutritional, environmental and economic impacts of ultra-processed food consumption in Australia
Objective: To quantify the full life cycle impacts of ultra-processed foods (UPF) for key environmental, economic and nutritional indicators to identify trade-offs between UPF contribution to broad-scope sustainability. Design: Using 24-h dietary recalls along with an input–output database for the Australian economy, dietary environmental and economic impacts were quantified in this national representative cross-sectional analysis. Food items wer…
Creating multi‐scale nested MRIO tables for linking localized impacts to global consumption drivers
Industrial Ecology Virtual Laboratories (IELabs) enable the construction of national‐to‐local‐scale multi‐regional input–output (MRIO) models. These IELabs have been proven to be especially important for analyzing research questions that warrant sub‐national spatial detail. The field of industrial ecology has clearly progressed from the time of national‐only input–output tables. Here, we present a newly developed tool called NLab—“nested IELab”—t…
Carbon Emissions of the Tourism Telecoupling System
The flows of people and material attributed to international tourism exert a major impact on the global environment. Tourism carbon emissions is the main indicator in this context. However, previous studies focused on estimating the emissions of destinations, ignoring the embodied emissions in tourists' origins and other areas. This study provides a comprehensive framework of a tourism telecoupling system. Taking China's international tourism as …
Tourism, job vulnerability and income inequality during the Covid-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated the vulnerability of tourism workers, but no detailed job loss figures are available that links tourism vulnerability with income inequality. This study evaluates how reduced international tourism consumption affects tourism employment and their income loss potential for 132 countries. This analysis shows that higher proportions of female (9.6%) and youth (10.1%) experienced unemployment whilst they were paid si…
Skills and ethnics wage inequalities within the global value chain
International fragmentation phenomenon has dramatically changed the pattern of international trade. Instead of exchange of finished goods, the so-called global value chain (GVC) involves multi-stages production process across geographical borders, probing for its impact of gain from trade. Using recently developed multi-regional input–output (MRIO) tables, this paper examines and compares wage inequality effects of trading with Transpacific Partn…

Reducing the health effects of hot weather and heat extremes
Modern slavery footprints in global supply chains
Slavery is more prevalent today than at any point in human history. Society's heightened scrutiny and new government policy is forcing businesses and nations to act in lieu of reputational, financial, and legal repercussions. However, slavery hides within complex supply chains, making it difficult to identify instances of human exploitation. This study takes a consumption perspective by investigating the potential of footprinting in exposing mode…
Drivers of global nitrogen emissions
Nitrogen is crucial for sustaining life. However, excessive reactive nitrogen (Nr) in the form of ammonia, nitrates, nitrogen oxides or nitrous oxides affects the quality of water, air and soil, resulting in human health risks. This study aims to assess the drivers of Nr emissions by analysing six determinants: nitrogen efficiency (Nr emissions per unit of production), production recipe (inter-sectoral dependencies), final demand composition (con…

The environmental footprint of health care
BACKGROUND: Health-care services are necessary for sustaining and improving human wellbeing, yet they have an environmental footprint that contributes to environment-related threats to human health. Previous studies have quantified the carbon emissions resulting from health care at a global level. We aimed to provide a global assessment of the wide-ranging environmental impacts of this sector. METHODS: In this multiregional input-output analysis,…
Advancements in Input‐Output Models and Indicators for Consumption‐Based Accounting
The use of global, multiregional input‐output (MRIO) analysis for consumption‐based (footprint) accounting has expanded significantly over the last decade. Most of the global studies on environmental and social impacts associated with consumption or embodied in international trade would have been impossible without the rapid development of extended MRIO databases. We present an overview of the developments in the field of MRIO analysis, in partic…
The Corruption Footprints of Nations
In this study, we innovatively apply multiregional input‐output analysis to calculate corruption footprints of nations and show the details of commodities that use the most employment affected by corruption (EAC), as they flow between countries. Every country's corruption footprint includes its domestic corruption and the corruption imported by global supply chains to meet final demand. Our results show that, generally, the net corruption exporte…
