International Trade and the Export of Emissions

This week the Centre for International Climate and Environmental Research in Oslo released a new report on how international trade skews the emissions levels reported by developed countries. Unsurprisingly, China is the largest exporter of emissions and accounts for 75 percent of the developed world’s outsourced emissions. The report also finds that while some developed countries report lower emissions levels, their overall carbon footprints are increasing when emission exports are accounted for.
