Meng, J., Huo, J., Zhang, Z. et al. The narrowing gap in developed and developing country emission intensities reduces global trade’s carbon leakage. Nat Commun

Objective:

  • Estimate the effects of the global trade on global carbon emissions from 2004 to 2017

Case:

  • Global countries

Methodology:

  • Leontief matrix
  • Decomposition

Data Source

  • MRIO
  • Carbon emission

Findings:

  • South-north trade contributed to the increase in global emissions
  • Global trade lowers total carbon emissions
  • The biggest contributors to net emissions of trade were China and India
