Carbon and Materials Embodied in the International Trade of Emerging Economies (2012, background): “More recently, a number of studies have also analyzed direct and indirect materials embodied in international trade (Dittrich et al. 2011; Russi et al. 2008; Schandl and West 2010; Steger and Bleischwitz 2011; Steinberger et al. 2010; Weisz and Schandl 2008).”
Material Footprint Assessment in a Global Input‐Output Framework (2015, background): “Also, several studies provide comparative assessments of DMC across all countries world-wide (Dittrich et al. 2012; Steinberger et al. 2010; Krausmann et al. 2008; Steinberger et al. 2013; Giljum et al. 2014).”
Material Flow Accounting: Measuring Global Material Use for Sustainable Development (2017, background): “The significance of these factors, however, varies by world region, development phase, and also by material type (47, 92, 100, 111).”
Solid Waste and the Circular Economy: A Global Analysis of Waste Treatment and Waste Footprints (2017, background): “Wealth, well-being, and human development are linked to material consumption (Tukker et al. 2014; Wiedmann et al. 2013; Bruckner et al. 2012; Steinberger et al. 2010).”
Sand, gravel, and UN Sustainable Development Goals: Conflicts, synergies, and pathways forward (2021, positive): “17,18 While current global aggregate consumption of 32–50 billion tonnes per year 19,20 is dominated by high (per capita) production in North America and China (Figure 1A), the greatest relative increase in production is projected to occur in LMICs.”
Methodology and Indicators of Economy‐wide Material Flow Accounting (2011, background): “…to link them to other environmental information, such as land use, energy, and environmental impacts (e.g., Wagner 2002; Bringezu et al. 2004; Haberl et al. 2004; Van der Voet et al. 2005; Weisz et al. 2006; Russi et al. 2008; Bringezu et al. 2009; Schandl and West 2010; Steinberger et al. 2010).”
Trade-offs between social and environmental Sustainable Development Goals (2018, methodology): “Like in previous studies where Gini indices have already been applied to environmental inequality, especially carbon footprints (Steinberger et al., 2010; Teixidó-Figueras et al., 2016; Teng et al., 2011; Wiedenhofer et al., 2017), we follow Teng and colleagues (Teng et al.”
Energy requirements of consumption: Urban form, climatic and socio-economic factors, rebounds and their policy implications (2013, methodology): “To further investigate urban/suburban/rural differences, arearesource (AR) Gini coefficients are calculated in order to quantify levels of inequality between districts (Druckman and Jackson, 2008a; Steinberger et al., 2010).”
