“…The exported CO 2 emissions come from a number of industrial sectors including electricity, transportation, and cement. Each of these industries represents an energy-intensive sector of the Chinese economy, which have a strong backward and forward linkage (Huang et al, 2018).…”

“…In this paper, we investigate the changes of SO 2 emissions and biodiversity impacts due to the terrestrial acidification over time between 2007, 2010, and 2012. The responsibility sharing approach, the time series, the inclusion of biodiversity impacts, and the Gini coefficient analysis differentiate this work from the few earlier studies on SO 2 emissions and interprovincial trade (Huang et al, 2018;Zhang et al, 2018aZhang et al, , 2018b.…”

Recent years have witnessed a growing volume in Chinese interregional trade, along with the increasing disparities in environmental pressures. This has prompted an increased attention on where the responsibilities for environmental impacts should be placed. In this paper, we quantify the environmental responsibility of SO 2 emissions and biodiversity impacts due to terrestrial acidification at the provincial level for the first time. We examine the environmental responsibility from the perspectives of production, consumption, and income generation by employing a Multi-Regional Input-Output (MRIO) model for 2007, 2010, and 2012. The results indicate that ~40% of SO 2 emissions were driven by the consumption in provinces other than where the emissions discharged. In particular, those developed provinces were net importers of SO 2 emissions and mainly outsourced their emissions to nearby developing provinces. Over the period of analysis, environmental inequality among 30 provinces was larger than GDP inequality. Furthermore, environmental inequality continued to increase while GDP inequality decreased over the time period. The results of a shared income-and consumption-based responsibility approach suggest that the environmental responsibility of SO 2 emissions and biodiversity impacts for developed provinces can reach up to ~4-to 93-fold the environmental pressure occurred within those provinces. This indicates that under these accounting principles the developed northern provinces in China would bear a much larger share of the environmental responsibility. Capsule: We calculate the shared responsibilities for SO 2 emissions in China and find them to differ significantly from the production-based reduction targets set by governments.

“…On the other hand, the anticorrelation observed for the pair NMVOC-CO 2 , probably reflects ozone formation in the troposphere (Matthes et al 2007). The anticorrelation observed for the pair SOx-CO 2 may be related to the vehicle and industrial production technology (Huang et al 2018). Regarding the pair of CO-CO 2 , the anticorrelation observed does not come as a surprise, as CO is a product of inefficient combustion that has often been used as a tracer of CO 2 from combustion (Turnbull et al 2006).…”

Emissions of atmospheric pollutants are well-known for their adverse effects on air quality and public health. Additionally, GHG emissions are responsible for the so called “Radiating Forcing” leading to climate change and degradation of ecosystem services. In this work, we analyze the annual emission trends of various air pollutants, including GHGs, from all 4 sectors of transport (roads, aviation, navigation, and railway) in Greece during the 28-year period between 1990 and 2017, in order to examine the confounding dynamics among external forces, such as the major fiscal recession of 2008, and the GHG/pollutant emissions in the country. The analysis is performed with a suite of statistical tools consisting of bivariate correlation analysis, Mann–Kendall test, Sen’s slope estimation, and Joinpoint regression analysis, in order to thoroughly study the trends of emissions. It is found that all transport sectors (except for the railway) show a significant increase in their emissions, despite the fiscal recession of 2008 that temporarily decelerated all aspects of economic activity in the country. Given the major share of transport in GHG emissions (37%) and air pollution in urban centers, it is essential that the road sector adapts to the new challenges, by means of switching to low-emission technologies and electromobilization. The same applies for the navigation and aviation sectors, which are known pillars of the tourist industry in the country.
