Multinational enterprises mitigate carbon inequality across Chinese cities
Open AccessKang Lin, Kailan Tian et al.ARTICLESustainable Production and…2026
Reducing carbon inequality has become a central challenge under the carbon-neutrality agenda. However, the increasing role of multinational enterprises (MNEs) in shaping regional inequality remains unclear. Using newly developed Inter-City Input–Output Tables that distinguish MNEs activities, this paper quantifies MNEs-induced carbon footprints and value added across Chinese cities, traces the interregional transfers they generate, and evaluates …

Assessing the unequal distribution between social benefits and costs across countries along global supply chains
Open AccessDanyang Zhang, Hui Wang et al.ARTICLEEcological Economics2026
Social sustainability is largely challenged by unequal exchange within global supply chains (GSCs). Unequal exchange, commonly understood as the net appropriation of value from the Global South to the Global North, arises from power asymmetries in the world economy. As a consequence of the power asymmetries, the distributions of social costs and benefits across countries along GSCs are largely imbalanced. This intensifies regional disparities and…

Cities are important actors in the global challenge of tackling climate change. They are not only responsible for the majority of emissions but also highly capable of taking action. An important precondition for effective climate mitigation is a city‐level greenhouse gas emission inventory to guide mitigation action. Yet, most cities in developing countries, in particular African cities, lack that crucial information. This study aims to assess th…
Global spillover effects of the European Green Deal and plausible mitigation options
Open AccessHonglin Zhong, Yanxian Li et al.ARTICLENature Sustainability2024Referências: 3
Achieving European Green Deal (EGD) targets for carbon removal and ecological restoration would reduce agricultural and forestry production within the European Union yet simultaneously extend ecosystem impacts elsewhere. Here we quantify such spillover impacts by coupling an extended multi-regional input–output analysis with an agro-ecological zones model. We find that EGD’s agricultural and forestry targets set for 2030 could result in a 23.9 Mh…
