Challenges and opportunities for carbon neutrality in China
China is currently the world's largest emitter of carbon dioxide (CO2). China therefore has a
key role in global climate change mitigation. Policies and commitments are required to …

[HTML][HTML] Quantifying the potential for climate change mitigation of consumption options
Background. Around two-thirds of global GHG emissions are directly and indirectly linked to
household consumption, with a global average of about 6 tCO 2 eq/cap. The average per …

Global patterns of ecologically unequal exchange: Implications for sustainability in the 21st century
Ecologically unequal exchange theory posits asymmetric net flows of biophysical resources
from poorer to richer countries. To date, empirical evidence to support this theoretical notion …

Ageing society in developed countries challenges carbon mitigation
Populations in developed countries are ageing. However, the impact of senior citizens'
consumption on global carbon mitigation is poorly understood. Here we find that senior …

Reducing climate change impacts from the global food system through diet shifts
How much and what we eat and where it is produced can create huge differences in GHG
emissions. On the basis of detailed household-expenditure data, we evaluate the unequal …
