Streamlined column-based disaggregation method for carbon footprint quantification for multi-regional input–output (MRIO) models
Multi-regional input–output (MRIO) models are a valuable source of data for environmental assessments. They encompass all products in an economy and capture the full inter-relationships of global supply chains. This provides a comprehensive set of environmental coefficients (e.g., kgCO 2 e) that are complete and free from truncation. However, the environmental coefficients in these models are highly aggregated, meaning all products within a secto…
Completing the SME carbon profile
Despite growing recognition of significance, a business’s Scope 3 emissions remain rarely measured and as a result are poorly understood. This situation is particularly common amongst small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which face additional obstacles to emission measurement. With this paper, we present a transaction-based approach to facilitate SME Scope 3 engagement. Using financial transaction data for 150,000 + UK SMEs, we produce spen…
Bridging the SME reporting gap
We present a novel statistical model for predicting Scope 1 and 2 emissions for small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs). Trained on financial transaction data from over 100,000 UK SMEs, the model targets a business segment excluded from formal emissions reporting and often under‐engaged in sustainability efforts. By leveraging scalable, objective data, our approach offers an accessible alternative to existing methods that rely on either coarse …
How could it be our responsibility?” The equity of Local Authority climate action in England
The majority of English Local Authorities (LAs) have set targets to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 or sooner, despite having no formal responsibilities to do so. However, it is questionable whether LAs are able to deliver these plans and targets whilst they are subject to significant operational pressures. This analysis applies the international “equity” framework of Common But Differentiated Responsibility and Respective Capab…
Is all inequality reduction equal? Understanding motivations and mechanisms for socio-economic inequality reduction in economic narratives of climate change mitigation
In descriptions of a just transition to a sustainable future, ensuring a decent quality of life whilst remaining within planetary boundaries are often dual central aims. However, at present no country is moving in the right direction at the necessary speed to achieve this. In response, the need to reduce socio-economic inequality is increasingly highlighted in climate mitigation proposals, spanning a broad range of economic narratives of climate …
Global energy consumption of the mineral mining industry
The mining industry globally is responsible for significant energy consumption, and is an important source of greenhouse gas emissions. Considering that future mineral demand is likely to increase and that the final energy consumption per unit mass of mineral extracted (energy intensities of mining) is also forecast to increase as a result of a decrease in mineral resource deposit qualities, the mining industry’s final energy consumption will inc…
A “spatially just” transition? A critical review of regional equity in decarbonisation pathways
Spatial justice is a theoretical framework that is increasingly used to examine questions of equity in the low carbon transition (LCT) from a geographical perspective. We conducted a semi-systematic review to define a ‘spatially just’ low carbon transition, considering how spatial dimensions are explicitly or implicitly presented in assessments of the LCT, and the policy and governance approaches that could embed spatial justice. A sample of 75 a…
Comparing High and Low Residential Density
This study provides an empirical assessment of energy use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with high and low residential development. Three major elements of urban development are considered: construction materials for infrastructure (including residential dwellings, utilities, and roads), building operations, and transportation (private automobiles and public transit). Two case studies from the City of Toronto are analyzed. An econo…
