Consumption-based accounting of CO2 emissions.
CO(2) emissions from the burning of fossil fuels are the primary cause of global warming. Much attention has been focused on the CO(2) directly emitted by each country, but relatively little attention has been paid to the amount of emissions associated with the consumption of goods and services in each country. Consumption-based accounting of CO(2) emissions differs from traditional, production...
متن کاملUCurrent consumption-based emissions estimates
Several studies have connected emissions of greenhouse gases to economic and trade data to quantify the causal chain from consumption to emissions and climate change. These studies usually combine data and models originating from different sources, making it difficult to estimate uncertainties in the end results. We estimate uncertain-5 ties in economic data, multi-pollutant emission statistics...

متن کاملGreenhouse Gas Emissions Accounting of Urban Residential Consumption: A Household Survey Based Approach
Devising policies for a low carbon city requires a careful understanding of the characteristics of urban residential lifestyle and consumption. The production-based accounting approach based on top-down statistical data has a limited ability to reflect the total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from residential consumption. In this paper, we present a survey-based GHG emissions accounting methodo...

The Kyoto protocol has defined the accounting framework for industrial GHG emissions on production-based accounting. Since then, international negotiations of Climate Change did not make significant progress on new GHG emissions ceiling. For numerous non-Annex 1 countries, an accounting framework based on consumption would be advantageous and could help in international negotiations. Similarly,...
