• Carbon and Materials Embodied in the International Trade of Emerging Economies (2012, background): “…the global economy used less than 40 billion tons of these materials.1 By 2008, this number had increased by more than 50%, to almost 70 billion tons (SERI 2011; see also Krausmann et al. 2009; 636 Journal of Industrial Ecology www.wileyonlinelibrary.com/journal/jie Fischer-Kowalski et al. 2011).”
• Economic valuation and the commodification of ecosystem services (2011, background): “…species and habitats, traditional conservation approaches have been powerless to reverse or stabilize the metabolic patterns of the global economy, characterized by ever-increasing demands on natural capital stocks, ecosystem services, and biodiversity (Guo et al., 2010; Krausmann et al., 2009).”
• How Circular is the Global Economy?: An Assessment of Material Flows, Waste Production, and Recycling in the European Union and the World in 2005 (2015, background): “Nonmetallic Minerals Nonmetallic minerals are the largest fraction of global material extraction and their consumption is growing at very high rates (Krausmann et al. 2009).”
• Appraising the influence of pro-environmental self-identity on sustainable consumption buying and curtailment in emerging markets: Evidence from China and Poland (2017, neutral): “Albeit the challenge of this role is huge because accelerated man-made climate change and resource depletion are having catastrophic consequences for the life chances of people and the planet (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, 2013; Krausmann et al., 2009).”
• Reducing energy and material flows in cities (2010, background): “At present humanity uses 500 ExaJoules of primary energy and extracts 60 billion tones of raw materials annually [1,2].”
• Social Metabolism, Ecological Distribution Conflicts, and Valuation Languages (2010, background): “…now it is placed in the context of the analysis of “socio-ecological transitions” as developed by the Social Ecology group in Vienna (Fischer-Kowalski and Haberl, 2007; Krausmann et al., 2008, 2009), of interest not only to ecological economics and political ecology but also to economic geography.”
• Sand, gravel, and UN Sustainable Development Goals: Conflicts, synergies, and pathways forward (2021, neutral): “Sand, gravel, and crushed stone (collectively referred to herein as aggregates) are the most in-demand materials on the planet in terms of volume.(1,2) Together, they are a central foundation of our economies and integral to sectors such as construction, infrastructure, electronics, cosmetics, and p”
• The material footprint of nations (2013, background): “A number of approaches have been applied in the literature to account for the indirect material requirements of modern economies (22, 23).”
