“…At present, many databases have been used to construct multi-region input-output tables, as shown in Table 1. Among these, EXIOBASE (Hu et al 2019;Schmidt et al 2019) and WIOD (Chen et al 2019;Román, Cansino, and Rueda-Cantuche 2016;Zhang et al 2019b) cover about 40 countries or regions, and are applicable to regional emissions studies. For example, EXIOBASE covers 28 EU countries and several other countries, and thus is well suited for studies of EU consumption-based emissions.…”

Introduction: The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is an important cooperative framework that increasingly affects the global economy, trade, and emission patterns. However, most existing studies pay insufficient attention to consumption-based emissions, embodied emissions, and non-CO2 greenhouse gases (GHGs). This study constructs a GHG emissions database to study the trends and variations in production-based, consumption-based, and embodied emissions associated with BRI countries. Outcome: We find that the per capita GHG emissions of BRI countries are lower than the global average but show significant variation within this group. We also find that trade-embodied emissions between BRI countries and China are growing. As a group, BRI countries are anet exporter of GHGs, with a global share of net export emissions of about 20%. In 2011, nearly 80% of GHG export emissions from BRI countries flowed to non-BRI countries, and nearly 15% flowed to China; about 57% of GHG import emissions were from non-BRI countries, and about 38% were from China. Conclusion: Therefore, this study concludes that the BRI should be used to coordinate climate governance to accelerate and strengthen the dissemination and deployment of low-emissions technologies, strategies, and policies within the BRI so as to avoid a carbon-intensive lock-in effect.

“…Environmental pollution has become an urgent problem, and China bears high levels of environmental pollution for other countries in international trade. In recent years, an increasing number of studies have found that developed countries typically transfer their carbon emissions [ 16 ], biodiversity threats [ 17 ], ozone precursors [ 18 ] and land utilization [ 19 ] to developing countries through foreign trade. Huang et al [ 20 ] determined that the United States (US), the EU and Japan transfer their domestic pollution to China through bilateral trade, making China a ‘pollution paradise’ for developed countries.…”

Substantial Nitrogen Oxide Pollution Is Embodied in the Bilateral Trade between China and the European Union

Against the backdrop of globalization and trade facilitation, the products consumed by a country are more and more relying on the importation of those products from other countries. Therefore, the pollutant emissions of products associated are transferred from consuming countries to exporting countries, which significantly changes the spatial distribution of global pollutant emissions. The objective of this research is to analyse the embodied nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions in the trading process between China and the European Union (EU) and to further trace the interindustry and intercountry transfer paths. This study constructs a multiregional input–output (MRIO) model based on the latest EORA global supply chain database. The MRIO model quantitatively analyses the total NOx emissions from the production and consumption ends of China and the EU from 1995 to 2014. Important findings are derived from the empirical results as follows. (1) In 2014, China’s production end emissions were 1824.38 kilotons higher than those of the consumption end. By contrast, the situation in the EU was the opposite, i.e., production end emissions were 1711.97 kilotons lower than those of the consumption end. (2) In the trade between China and the EU, the EU is a net importer of embodied NOx, and China is a net exporter of embodied NOx. In 2014, 2.55% of China’s domestic NOx emissions were transferred to the EU in China-EU trade, accounting for 2.75% of China’s domestic consumption demand. (3) In 2014, Electricity, Gas and Water (397.75 kilotons), Transport (343.55 kilotons), Petroleum, Chemical and non-metallic Products (95.9 kilotons), Metal Products (49.88 kilotons), Textiles and Apparel (26.19 kilotons), are among the industries with the most embodied NOx emissions from China’s net exports during its two-way trade with the EU. (4) In the bilateral trade between the EU and China, many countries are in the state of embodied NOx net import. The top three net importers in 2014 were Germany (169.24 kilotons), Britain (128.11 kilotons), France (103.21 kilotons).

“…Previous research has examined the ecologically unequal exchange embodied in international trade (Jorgenson, ). In recent years, a growing body of scientific literature concluded that the developed countries generally outsourced the undesired environmental burden such as carbon emissions (Zhang, Zhao, et al, ), biodiversity threats (Lenzen, Moran, et al, ), air emissions (Xu et al, ), aerosols (Lin et al, ), ozone precursors (Román et al, ), land use (Steen‐Olsen et al, ), and water resources (Yang et al, ) to undeveloped countries through international trade. Although suffering from ecological deficits, undeveloped regions can also economically benefit from international trade.…”

China's Trade‐Off Between Economic Benefits and Sulfur Dioxide Emissions in Changing Global Trade

China has been suffering from air quality degradation since its ascension into the World Trade Organization in 2001. The unequal exchange that occurs with international trade—that is, developed countries obtaining larger shares of trade‐related value added relative to the shares of trade‐related air pollution incurred locally—may obstruct the greening of global supply chains. In this study, we conduct a multi‐regional input‐output analysis to examine the change in the distribution of economic benefits and sulfur dioxide emissions underlying China's international trade from 2002 to 2015. The results show that both net trade‐related economic benefits and SO2 emissions in China rapidly increased from 2002 to 2007 and then decelerated after 2007 due to changes in China's green development strategy. In the past 13 years, China has suffered from economic‐environmental inequality due to trade with most developed countries, for example, the United States, the European Union, East Asia, and Canada. East Asia, particularly Japan and South Korea, became both an economic and environmental winner while trading with China in 2015. China has also outsourced emissions to less developed regions, such as Sub‐Saharan Africa. We propose policy implications to further reduce the economic‐environmental inequality underlying China's international trade.
