Green product development: What does the country product space imply? (2018, background): “In this regard, the high consumption of natural resources can cause huge damages to the ecosystem, such as global climate change, landscape change, and loss of biodiversity (e.g., Donohoe, 2003; Weber et al., 2008).”
Sharing the burden of financing adaptation to climate change (2009, background): “For instance, a large proportion of Chinese emissions are related to the production of goods consumed in OECD countries (Wang and Watson, 2008; Peters et al., 2007; Weber et al., 2008).”
Greenhouse gas emissions in China 2007: Inventory and input-output analysis (2010, methodology): “Weber et al. (2008) first presented a systematic study on the contribution of exports to China’s CO2 emissions during 1987–2005.”
A CARBON FOOTPRINT TIME SERIES OF THE UK – RESULTS FROM A MULTI-REGION INPUT–OUTPUT MODEL (2010, background): “on the change in global and trade-related emission levels resulting from a relocation of production between countries (Weber et al, 2008 ; Guan et al, 2009 ).”
Carbon footprints and embodied carbon at multiple scales (2010, result): “Parallel studies on China confirm this [56 ,57 ] and assuming consistent results across more countries as indicated in static studies [48 ] as much as one-half of the emissions growth in poor countries could be the result of consumption in rich counties [58].”
Analysis of Regional Differences and Influencing Factors on China’s Carbon Emission Efficiency in 2005–2015 (2019, background): “A growing body of literature has investigated the relationship between carbon emission efficiency and foreign trade level [11,72,73].”
THE LIFE CYCLE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF CONSUMPTION (2011, background): “This work is confirmed by studies of exporting economies, which show that exports are an important cause of emissions (Weber et al., 2008).”
Tracing Primary PM2.5 emissions via Chinese supply chains (2015, methodology): “We follow the approach applied in previous studies (i.e., Weber et al 2008) and assume that each economic sector and domestic demand category utilize sectoral imports in the same proportions (Weber et al 2008, Guan et al 2009, Guan and Barker 2012, Guan et al 2014, Huo et al 2014, Lin, et al 2014).”
International trade undermines national emission reduction targets: New evidence from air pollution (2014, background): “All rights reserved. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.gloenvcha.2013.09.008 emissions were linked to production for export (Feng et al., 2013; Weber et al., 2008).”
Growth in emission transfers via international trade from 1990 to 2008 (2011, background): “The United States has shown rapid growth in imported emissions, largely because of China and other developing nations (14).”
China's foreign trade and climate change: A case study of CO2 emissions (2010, background): “Weber et al. (2008) found that in 2005, around one-third of Chinese emissions were due to the production of exports, and this proportion increased from 12% in 1987 to 21% as recently as in 2002.”
INPUT–OUTPUT ANALYSIS AND CARBON FOOTPRINTING: AN OVERVIEW OF APPLICATIONS (2009, unknown): “The increased export of emissions from countries without binding emission targets to industrialised countries drives up global GHG emissions under the current UNFCCC agreement and undermines its effectiveness (Peters and Hertwich, 2008a; Peters, 2008b; Weber et al., 2008; Guan et al., 2009).”
