A Note on the Magnitude of the Feedback Effect in Environmentally Extended Multi-Region Input-Output Tables
Moran, Daniel; Wood, Richard; Rodriguez, João F. D. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Global multiregion input‐output (MRIO) tables have been developed to capture international spillover effects due to demand in one country and production in other countries. International spillovers have been growing and ... -
A novel maximum entropy approach to hybrid monetary-physical supply-chain modelling and its application to biodiversity impacts of palm oil embodied in consumption
Többen, Johannes Reinhard; Wiebe, Kirsten Svenja; Verones, Francesca; Wood, Richard; Moran, Daniel (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The environmental and social consequences of clearing tropical forests for palm oil and soybean monoculture have been analyzed in a number of studies and are widely recognized.

To accurately account for pressures and impacts that are highly concentrated ... -
Ageing society in developed countries challenges carbon mitigation
Zheng, Heran; Long, Yin; Wood, Richard; Moran, Daniel; Zhang, Zhengkai; Meng, Jing; Feng, Kuishuang; Hertwich, Edgar G.; Guan, Dabo (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)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 citizens have played a leading role in driving ... -
Agricultural and forestry trade drives large share of tropical deforestation emissions
Pendrill, Florence; Persson, U. Martin; godar, javier; Kastner, Thomas; Moran, Daniel; Schmidt, Sarah; Wood, Richard (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Deforestation, the second largest source of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, is largely driven by expanding forestry and agriculture. However, despite agricultural expansion being increasingly driven by foreign ... -
Assessment of Gender Inequality in Global Supply Chains
Vélez, Ana Maria Arbeláez (Master thesis, 2018)Gender inequality affects women all around the world in several aspects of the social and economic domain. Such as employment, education, participation in the governments, amongst others. The gender inequality in employment ... -
Beyond peak emission transfers: historical impacts of globalization and future impacts of climate policies on international emission transfers
Wood, Richard; Grubb, Michael; Anger-Kraavi, Annela; Pollitt, Hector; Rizzo, Ben; Alexandri, Eva; Stadler, Konstantin; Moran, Daniel; Hertwich, Edgar; Tukker, Arnold (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Globalization of supply chains has resulted in rapid increases in emission transfers from the developing to the developed world. As outsourcing has risen, developed countries have been able to decarbonize domestically, at ... -
Beyond the borders – burdens of Swedish food consumption due to agrochemicals, greenhouse gases and land-use change
Cederberg, Christel; Persson, U. Martin; Schmidt, Sarah; Hedenus, Fredrik; Wood, Richard (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Sweden's environmental policy aims to solve domestic environmental problems without increasing environmental and health impacts overseas. Realizing this aim requires an indicator system with a consumption-based (or ... -
The capital load of global material footprints
Södersten, Carl-Johan Hugo; Wood, Richard; Wiedmann, Thomas O (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Despite calls for large-scale reductions in material use and efforts to initiate a “circular economy” that promotes recycling and reuse, a limited decoupling between overall resource extraction and economic growth has been ... -
