  • Mapping human-nature archetypes to guide global biodiversity, food security, and land-use policy

    Open AccessDiana Sietz, Aidin Niamir et al.ARTICLEOne Earth2025

    Reconciling biodiversity conservation, food security, and sustainable agriculture at global scale requires a clear understanding of regional social-ecological opportunities and challenges. This understanding helps untap regional contributions to better achieve global policy targets, such as those framed in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). Yet previous global syntheses of social-ecological interlinkages remain limited in t…

  • Drivers of household carbon footprints across EU regions, from 2010 to 2015

    Open AccessJemyung Lee, Yosuke Shigetomi et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2023

    Urban regions are responsible for a significant proportion of carbon emissions. The carbon footprint (CF) is a practical measure to identify the responsibility of individuals, cities, or nations in climate change. Numerous CF studies have focused on national accounts, and a few combined consumer consumption and global supply chains to estimate additionally detailed spatial CF. However, the drivers of temporal change in detailed spatial CF are lar…

  • Differentiated responsibilities of US citizens in the country’s sustainable dietary transition

    Open AccessOliver Taherzadeh, Keiichiro KanemotoARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    If widely adopted, the ‘planetary health diet’ (PHD), proposed by the EAT-Lancet Commission, would help to meet ambitious sustainability goals currently jeopardised by excessive and resource intensive food demand. To date, convergence of nations to the PHD has been assessed using average food consumption patterns, overlooking the influence of different consumers within this context. Using self-reported dietary intake data from a snapshot survey o…

  • Negligible impacts of early Covid-19 confinement on household carbon footprints in Japan

  • Quantifying the carbon footprint reduction potential of lifestyle choices in Japan

    Open AccessYosuke Shigetomi, Keiichiro Kanemoto et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    Numerous studies have investigated the hotspots for reducing carbon emissions associated with household consumption, including reducing household carbon footprints (CFs) and greener lifestyle choices, such as living car-free, eating less meat, and having one less child. However, estimating the effect of each of these actions requires the simultaneous consideration of lifestyle choices and household characteristics that could also affect the house…

  • Spatial variation in household consumption-based carbon emission inventories for 1200 Japanese cities

    Open AccessKeiichiro Kanemoto, Yosuke Shigetomi et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Given that national pledges are likely insufficient to meet Paris greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets (Fawcett et al 2015 Science 350 ), increasingly actors at the city and state level are looking for options on how local government can contribute to reducing GHG emissions. For a typical city only one third to half of their carbon footprint (CF) is emitted within the jurisdiction, while the majority is embodied in goods and services flowing in…

  • The scale and drivers of carbon footprints in households, cities and regions across India

    Open AccessJemyung Lee, Oliver Taherzadeh et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2020Cited by: 6References: 3

    The carbon footprint (CF) has emerged as an important yardstick to understand the total contribution of countries, sectors and individuals to climate change. In contrast to conventional emissions accounting which captures only territorial or local production activities, the CF includes the emissions imposed by consumption across global supply chains for goods and services. Recent interest has grown in the application of CF assessment for municipa…

  • Meat Consumption Does Not Explain Differences in Household Food Carbon Footprints in Japan

    Open AccessKeiichiro Kanemoto, Daniel Moran et al.ARTICLEOne Earth2019

    Many studies, including the EAT-Lancet Commission report, have argued that changing diets—in particular, shifting away from beef in favor of white meat and vegetables—can substantially reduce household carbon footprints (CFs). This argument implies that households with high CFs consume more meat than low-CF households. An observation of diet and CF across 60,000 households in Japan, a nation whose diet and demographics are in many ways globally i…

  • Growth potential for CO 2 emissions transfer by tariff reduction

    Open AccessMoinul Islam, Keiichiro Kanemoto et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018

    A reduction in tariff barriers facilitates the relocation of factories to countries with less stringent environmental regulations. There has been rapid growth in the transfer of emissions from developing to developed countries through international trade over the last 30 years. However, almost all countries still maintain their tariff barriers, and these tariffs limit the potential to increase carbon dioxide (CO _2 ) emissions transfers. This pap…

  • Carbon footprints of 13 000 cities

    Open AccessDaniel Moran, Keiichiro Kanemoto et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018

    While it is understood that cities generate the majority of carbon emissions, for most cities, towns, and rural areas around the world no carbon footprint (CF) has been estimated. The Gridded Global Model of City Footprints (GGMCF) presented here downscales national CFs into a 250 m gridded model using data on population, purchasing power, and existing subnational CF studies from the US, China, EU, and Japan. Studies have shown that CFs are highl…

  • The Global MRIO Lab – charting the world economy

    Manfred Lenzen, Arne Geschke et al.ARTICLEEconomic Systems Research2017

    We describe the creation of the Global Multi-Region Input–Output (MRIO) Lab, which is a cloud-computing platform offering a collaborative research environment through which participants can use each other’s resources to assemble their own individual MRIO versions. The Global MRIO Lab’s main purpose is to harness and focus previously disparate resources aimed at compiling large-scale MRIO databases that provide comprehensive representations of int…

  • Impact of Trade Openness and Sector Trade on Embodied Greenhouse Gases Emissions and Air Pollutants

    Open AccessMoinul Islam, Keiichiro Kanemoto et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2016

    The production of goods and services generates greenhouse gases (GHGs) and air pollution both directly and through the activities of the supply chains on which they depend. The analysis of the latter—called embodied emissions—caused by internationally traded goods and services is the subject of this article. We find that trade openness increases embodied emissions in international trade (EET). We also examine the impact of sector trade on EET. By…

  • Tracing global supply chains to air pollution hotspots

    Open AccessDaniel Moran, Keiichiro KanemotoARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016

    While high-income countries have made significant strides since the 1970s in improving air quality, air pollution continues to rise in many developing countries and the world as a whole. A significant share of the pollution burden in developing countries can be attributed to production for export to consumers in high-income nations. However, it remains a challenge to quantify individual actors' share of responsibility for pollution, and to involv…

  • The material footprint of nations

    Open AccessThomas Wiedmann, Thomas O Wiedmann et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2015

    Metrics on resource productivity currently used by governments suggest that some developed countries have increased the use of natural resources at a slower rate than economic growth (relative decoupling) or have even managed to use fewer resources over time (absolute decoupling). Using the material footprint (MF), a consumption-based indicator of resource use, we find the contrary: Achievements in decoupling in advanced economies are smaller tha…

  • Global Supply Chains of Coltan

    Open AccessDaniel Moran, Darian McBain et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2015

    The spot price for tantalum, a metal used in high‐performance consumer electronics, spiked in 2000, triggering a boom in artisanal mining of surface deposits in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The profit from columbite‐tantalite ore, or coltan, is alleged to have funded militants during that country's civil war. One warlord famously claimed that in 2000, coltan delivered a million dollars per month. While coltan mining was neither a neces…

    Manfred Lenzen, Daniel Moran et al.ARTICLEEconomic Systems Research2013

    There are a number of initiatives aimed at compiling large-scale global multi-region input–output (MRIO) tables complemented with non-monetary information such as on resource flows and environmental burdens. Depending on purpose or application, MRIO construction and usage has been hampered by a lack of geographical and sectoral detail; at the time of writing, the most advanced initiatives opt for a breakdown into at most 129 regions and 120 secto…
