• Consumption‐based carbon accounting: does it have a future? (2017, background): “Whilst companies currently are not mandated to calculate their offsite supply chain emissions, monitoring them would provide them with a better understanding of the potential risk of resource and carbon price fluctuations on their business/service provision activities, both related to their upstream”
• Metrics for optimising the multi-dimensional value of resources recovered from waste in a circular economy: A critical review (2017, methodology): “In this protocol carbon emissions include only the Kyoto Protocol GHGs (i.e. CO2, N2O, CH4, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6)) (Lee, 2011; Matthews et al., 2008; Peters, 2010; WRI/ WBCSD, 2011).”
• A synthesis of carbon in international trade (2012, methodology): “Understanding embodied flows is also useful for the assessment of border taxes (Atkinson et al., 2011) and competitiveness concerns more broadly (Peters, 2010b).”
• The Employment Footprints of Nations (2014, methodology): “The international literature already features a number of global footprint studies using MRIO analysis, for example, on carbon emissions (Peters 2010; Hertwich and Peters 2009), water (Feng et al. 2011), materials (Wiedmann et al. 2013), net primary production (Haberl et al. 2007), and biodiversity…”
• Growth in emission transfers via international trade from 1990 to 2008 (2011, methodology): “The data and methods have existed for decades (8, 9, 22, 26, 40) and are the foundation of the System of National Accounts compiled by most countries.”
• Carbon footprint: current methods of estimation (2011, background): “Emissions embodied in traded goods, if consumed out of the country should be shared based on appropriate assumptions (Peters 2010).”
• Theoretical exploration for the combination of the ecological, energy, carbon, and water footprints: Overview of a footprint family (2014, background): “It is widely accepted that the life ycle assessment (LCA) is a useful tool for calculating the carbon ootprint, especially at the product level (Wiedmann and Minx, 008).”
• Global Research on Carbon Emissions: A Scientometric Review (2019, background): “that considers all relevant emission sources, sinks and storage in both consumption and production within the specified spatial and temporal system boundary [31].”
