Carbon Footprint of Nations: A Global, Trade-Linked Analysis

The concept of a carbon footprint captures the interest of businesses, consumers, and policy makers alike. This study confirms the conclusions of earlier studies on the importance of consumption categories for the overall household environmental impact. Indirect impacts in the supply chain are more important than direct impacts in the household. Although international climate agreements may still be based around the standard IPCC emission inventory methods, the design of mitigation policy must consider the underlying drivers for emissions. Ultimately, our daily consumption and production decisions drive global emissions.
