“…Thus, domestic trade-embodied emissions and their associated energy consumption are also considered a key research topic . Recent research has identified that China’s western regions are net domestic exporters of embodied CO 2 emissions to coastal eastern regions due to the differences in China’s domestic economic structure and development. − Some lately published research accounts for the CO 2 CBA of China’s provinces in 2017. , However, none of the referenced studies emphasize the intensifying domestic inequalities in consumption-based CO 2 emissions among China’s regions, as well as the possibility of their further development. Since China entered the so-called economic “new normal” in 2012, the economic and CO 2 emission structures may have undergone alterations.…”

CO 2 emissions are unevenly distributed both globally and regionally within nation-states. Given China’s entrance into the new stage of economic development, an updated study on the largest CO 2 emitter’s domestic emission distribution is needed for effective and coordinated global CO 2 mitigation planning. We discovered that domestic CO 2 emissions in China are increasingly polarized for the 2007–2017 period. Specifically, the domestically exported CO 2 emissions from the less developed and more polluting northwest region to the rest of China has drastically increased from 165 Mt in 2007 to 230 Mt in 2017. We attribute the polarizing trend to the simultaneous industrial upgrading of all regions and the persistent disparity in the development and emission decoupling of China’s regions. We also noted that CO 2 emissions exported from China to the rest of the world has decreased by 41% from 2007 to 2017, with other developing countries filling up the vacancy. As this trend is set to intensify, we intend to send an alarm message to policy makers to devise and initiate actions and avoid the continuation of pollution migration.

“…Given the importance of identifying priority fields of action with major environmental relevance to consumers, assessing the environmental footprint of final household consumption and estimating its social costs are necessary. This kind of analysis is particularly valuable for developing countries with their catching up and rapid adoption of lifestyles of developed countries, taking into account that the majority of research on assessing the environmental impact of household consumption are conducted for either developed economies (e.g., Tukker & Jansen, 2006;Ivanova et al, 2016;Mach et al, 2018;Steinegger, 2019;Castellani et al, 2019;Moran et al, 2020;He et al, 2020;Feng et al, 2021;Zsuzsa Levay et al, 2021;Hassan et al, 2022) or China (e.g., Lei et al, 2022;Liu et al, 2021;Mi et al, 2020;Sun et al, 2021).…”

Household consumption accounts for the largest share of the global anthropogenic greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions. The literature assessing the environmental impacts of household consumption is mostly focused on developed economies, thus, leaving a critical gap when it comes to assessing the impacts of household consumption and of related environmental policies in developing countries. Therefore, in order to fill this gap, this study analyzes household consumption-based emissions for high income, upper middle income, lower middle income, and low-income countries from six different geographical regions. It assesses the sector-wise CO2, CH4 and N2O-footprints and evaluates their social costs. The study methodology employs an environmentally extended multiregional input–output model from the EORA26 database which uses a common 26-sector classification for all countries. The findings show that household consumption accounts for 48–85% of the national CO2-footprints. (The values are similar for CH4 and N2O.) Developing economies have lower CO2-footprints of household final consumption than developed economies, but exert a higher pressure on the environment with respect to CH4- and N2O-footprints per capita. That highlights the necessity to focus environmental policies in developing countries on tackling CH4 and N2O on a first-priority basis. The study also identifies those sectors where the social costs of aggregated CO2, CH4 and N2O emissions make up a substantial share of the industries’ output, thus, indicating the level of technological efficiency of the respective economies and the industries where more stringent environmental regulation should be implemented.

Аннотация. Проблемы в становлении и развитии устойчивой экономики, составной частью которой является устойчивая энергетика, является объектом многих зарубежных и отечественных исследователей. Несмотря на это, отдельные аспекты реализации принципов устойчивой энергетики подлежат более глубокому изучению. В данной работе рассмотрены некоторые методологические аспекты исследования места и роли домашним хозяйств в обеспечении развитии устойчивой энергетики. В систематизированной форме предложены направления участия домашних хозяйств в развитии устойчивой энергетики, среди них участие домашних хозяйств в генерации энергии, первичное и вторичное (повторное) потребление энергии и т.д. Каждое направление участия домашних хозяйств в устойчивой энергетике зависит от множества факторов, которых можно разделить на внешние (главные и второстепенны) и внутренние (основные и вспомогательные) факторы. Отдельно выделены методы измерения (объем генерированной энергии в домашнем хозяйстве, объем вторичного (повторного) потребления генерированной энергии, показатели энергоэффективности и декарбонизациижилого здания (домов); системы вентиляции и т.д.) вкладов участия домашних хозяйств в развитии устойчивой энергетики. Обращено внимание на роль и значение технологической инфраструктуры, в которой особую роль играет использование природоподобных технологий или формирование рынка низкоуглеродных товаров народного потребления. Природоподобные технологии незначительно влияют на окружающую природную среду, что очень важно в современных условиях решения проблем в экологической сфере. По мнению автора, в государственной политике обязательно должен учитываться потенциал домашних хозяйств в реализации принципов устойчивой энергетики. В то же время переход к устойчивой энергетике, а также решение проблем, стоящих на его пути, должны осуществляться с учетом потребностей и возможностей домашних хозяйств. Ключевые слова: устойчивая энергетика, домашние хозяйства, внешние факторы, внутренние факторы, энергосбережение, природоподобные технологии. CITISE http://ma123.ru ЦИТИСЭ №2 (36) 2023
