A systematic review of the evidence on decoupling of GDP, resource use and GHG emissions, part I: bibliometric and conceptual mapping (2020, methodology): “Material and energy flow analysis has been adopted into standardized statistical reporting only in the last ~15 years (Fischer-Kowalski et al 2011, Schandl et al 2017) and recently UNEP started hosting a global database (UNEP-IRP 2019).”
The Material Stock–Flow–Service Nexus: A New Approach for Tackling the Decoupling Conundrum (2017, background): “relating resource use or emissions to economic indicators such as GDP [72], the Social Progress Index [147], or the Human Development Index (HDI) [17,90,148] by providing indicators for the services derived from specific stock-flow constellations.”
Global patterns of ecologically unequal exchange: Implications for sustainability in the 21st century (2021, background): “…to poorer regions and ecological distribution conflicts (Martinez-Alier et al., 2010; Warlenius et al., 2015), and the out-sourcing of resource-intensive production rather than curbing resource use in the high-income nations (Jiborn et al., 2018; Schandl et al., 2018; Wiedmann et al., 2015).”
