“…In this regard, several researchers have made some contributions. For example, by applying China MRIO, Liu et al [47] investigated the CO 2 emissions contained in the value-added chains among eight main regions in China. Bo Meng et al attempted to combine the value-added chain with CBE by using the concept of GVCs to decompose embodied emissions in product-supply chains [48].…”

Abstract:In the era of globalization and international trade, the production-based CO 2 emissions accounting system, proposed by United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, can easily lead to a "carbon leakage" issue. Thus, the accounting of consumption-based carbon emissions and carbon emissions embodied in international trade has received considerable research attention. Nevertheless, researchers also indicated that the consumption-based principle has some weaknesses, for example, it leads the producers inert on reducing carbon emissions while gaining economic benefits. To share carbon emissions responsibilities between producers and consumers is widely recognized. So, setting an income-based emissions accounting method as to producer is a necessary complement for accounting national carbon emissions. This study promoted a model, called the value-added-based accounting of CO 2 emissions method, to account for anthropogenic CO 2 emissions within the context of the economic benefit principle. Based on the global multi-regional input-output table and national carbon emissions database, we calculated the national/regional carbon emissions based on the value-added accounting approach as well as the amount of global carbon emissions embodied in value-added chains. If the results are served as a supplement for calculating the amount of CO 2 emissions reduction that a country is responsible for, problems such as carbon leakage and resistance to improving the energy efficiency of exporting sector may be solved, because all the supply chains emissions associated with the economic growth of a country would be considered.

“…Some scholars studied embodied carbons in trade between several countries globally (Peters et al, 2011;Wiebe et al, 2012;Wu et al, 2016), some studied embodied carbons in one country or area, e.g. China (Su and Ang, 2013;Liu et al, 2015a;Liu et al, 2015b), Liaoning in China (Geng et al, 2013), European Union (Galli et al, 2013), Uruguay (Piaggio et al, 2015). Besides, scholars also studied influences of urbanization, industrial structure, outsourcing to carbon emission (Li et al, 2015;Chang, 2015;Gurtu et al, 2016).…”

a b s t r a c tThe purpose of this research is to identify the decision process Chinese subsidiaries of multinational enterprises follow to develop and deploy a climate change strategy. These foreign subsidiaries have to be responsive to local institutional and economic demands as well as to the directives from their headquarters. Our findings suggests that considering and developing climate change strategies is a multistage process that alternates between managerial cognition and capabilities and is most effective when locally embedded. The foreign subsidiary develops its own understanding of climate change and an adequate response rather than follows headquarter directives. This allows the subsidiary to be at the adaptation forefront and, potentially, influence the global network of the multinational enterprise. The process can be stopped when cognition, capabilities or both are not developed or realised.
