Environmental Impacts of Capital Formation (2018, background): “In terms of the carbon footprints (CFs) of nations, capital investments constitute a substantial share of the final demand of goods and services: Hertwich and Peters (2009) assign 18% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to capital investments.”
The role of trade in the greenhouse gas footprints of EU diets (2018, background): “The general trend in increasing embodied emissions in exports has also been studied with fossil fuel emissions (e.g. Peters and Hertwich, 2008; Hertwich and Peters, 2009) and with embodied water, land use, or deforestation in trade (e.”
Quantifying the potential for climate change mitigation of consumption options (2020, background): “port and housing as they are highly relevant in terms of consumption-based GHG emissions [3, 46], energy [47] and other resource use [3] with some of the highest potential for consumption intervention [30, 48].”
A review of recent multi-region input–output models used for consumption-based emission and resource accounting (2009, methodology): “16 Peters and Hertwich (2008a) determine the CO2 emissions embodied in international trade (EEBT) among 87 countries for the year 2001 by using GTAP 6 but not employing a MRIO analysis (see also the authors' analysis of national carbon footprints, Hertwich and Peters, 2009).”
Growth in emission transfers via international trade from 1990 to 2008 (2011, methodology): “As for the EEBT method, we repeat our earlier MRIO analysis using 2001 data (17) to additionally cover 1997 and 2004 using different releases of the GTAP databases (42).”
Pathways of human development and carbon emissions embodied in trade (2012, background): “Recently, the relative decarbonization of wealthy nations’ economies has been questioned, because these countries may be benefiting not only from the carbon emitted within their national territory (which are recorded in national and international statistics), but also from the carbon emissions embod”
Would shorter working time reduce greenhouse gas emissions? An analysis of time use and consumption in Swedish households (2015, result): “Cross-country estimates of the elasticities of CO2 emissions with respect to expenditures have been estimated to be around 0.8% (Hertwich and Peters, 2009), which is more in line with our microlevel results.”
Low carbon lifestyles: A framework to structure consumption strategies and options to reduce carbon footprints (2016, background): “Those focusing on climate impact all indicate that food, mobility and housing are the categories that consistently make up the largest shares of GHG emissions (for example, EEA, 2013a; Hertwich and Peters, 2009).”
Delving into the carbon footprints of Singapore--comparing direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions of a small and open economic system (2010, background): “Authors identified the potential problems of ‘‘carbon leaking’’ into regulated markets (Peters and Hertwich, 2008a, b, c; Hertwich and Peters, 2009) as major obstacle towards international GHG reduction policies and pointed at the unfair market conditions if certain producers (e.g. non participants…”
