Spatial disaggregation of biodiversity footprints - A focus on urban vs rural consumption patterns
Koslowski, Maximilian (Master thesis, 2018)Biodiversity is threatened by diverse pressures. Deforestation, climate change, water stress and other factors contribute to its gradual degradation. Apart from negligible natural sources, main drivers of this development ... -
Structural production layer decomposition: a new method to measure differences between MRIO databases for footprint assessments
Wieland, Hanspeter; Giljum, Stefan; Bruckner, Martin; Owen, Anne; Wood, Richard (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Recent empirical assessments revealed that footprint indicators calculated with various multi-regional input–output (MRIO) databases deliver deviating results. In this paper, we propose a new method, called structural ... -
The structure, drivers and policy implications of the European carbon footprint
Wood, Richard; Neuhoff, Karsten; Moran, Daniel; Silva Simas, Moana; Grubb, Michael; Stadler, Konstantin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Policy to reduce the European Union’s (EU) carbon footprint needs to be grounded in an understanding of the structure and drivers of both the domestic and internationally traded components. Here we analyse consumption-based ... -
Technological change in the steel industry and its effects on environmental footprints of downstream products
Karlsen, Birgit Furseth (Master thesis, 2018)The CO$_2$-emissions from the steel industry is at present 2.5 Gt, which represents 9\% of the worlds total carbon emissions in 2010. To keep the temperature change under 2.4\degree C compared to the pre-industrial time, ... -
The Environmental Impact of Green Consumption and Sufficiency Lifestyles Scenarios in Europe: Connecting Local Sustainability Visions to Global Consequences
Vita, Gibran; Lundström, Johan R.; Hertwich, Edgar G.; Quist, Jaco; Ivanova, Diana; Stadler, Konstantin; Wood, Richard (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The sustainability transformation calls for policies that consider the global consequences of local lifestyles.

Vita, Gibran (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2018:374, Doctoral thesis, 2018)Industrial ecology tools have a role in informing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. However, a more socially meaningful industrial ecology would have a stronger impact. Identifying the most feasible options ... -
The growing importance of scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions from industry
Hertwich, Edgar G.; Wood, Richard (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Carbon reporting is increasingly focussing on indirect emissions that occur in the supply chain of establishments. The GHG protocol, a corporate standard, distinguishes scope 2 (emissions associated with electricity ... -
The Rebound Effect of a Shift to a Green Lifestyle
Bjelle, Eivind Lekve (Master thesis, 2016)Reaching the 2°C target of global warming, requires a 40-70% reduction in anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. Norwegian policy makers have implemented a term called The Green Shift that involves a transition into ... -
The social and environmental dimensions of global value chains
Simas, Moana Silva (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2018:341, Doctoral thesis, 2018)As the economy has become more globalized, labour and environmental impacts have been redistributed throughout the globe. Today, the complexity and fragmentation of global value chains mean that the distance between ... -
