Global virtual water trade and the hydrological cycle: patterns, drivers, and socio-environmental impacts (2019, background): “…with CO2 emissions (Deng et al 2016b, Vora et al 2017,Meng et al 2018), however, the study of environmental and social footprints of international trade (Wiedmann and Lenzen 2018) and associated spillovers (Liu et al 2015) has often failed to explicitly account for the impacts on water resources.”
Assessing water ecosystem services for water resource management (2016, background): “Integrative frameworks such as the ecosystem service approach allow incorporation of natural components in the system analysis (Liu et al., 2015).”

Evaluating process-based integrated assessment models of climate change mitigation (2017, background): “IAMs are designed to capture interdependencies, feedbacks, trade-offs, and the systemic consequences of climate policy at a global scale over the long-term (21).”
Leverage points for sustainability transformation (2017, background): “Systems thinking has led to ‘‘fundamental discoveries and sustainability actions that are not possible by using conventional disciplinary, reductionist, and compartmentalized approaches’’ (Liu et al. 2015, p. 963).”
The vulnerabilities of agricultural land and food production to future water scarcity (2019, background): “Currently agricultural production in Canada threatens supplies of freshwater to its boreal forests, which in turn cover 60% of its land mass (Liu et al., 2015).”
Levers and leverage points for pathways to sustainability (2020, background): “Achieving global sustainability goals will require a targeted focus to elucidate and internalize the distant effects of local actions (i.e. telecouplings), such as housing booms triggering distant deforestation via demand for wood products (Liu et al., 2013, 2015; Marques et al., 2019).”
