Developing countries’ responsibilities for CO2 emissions in value chains are larger and growing faster than those of developed countries
Carbon emissions associated with international trade are significant. The emergence of complex global value chains (GVCs) in recent decades, in which a country can operate as both a consumer and producer simultaneously, has led to a further rise in emissions. The complexity of these GVCs makes it in...

This allows both value-added and emissions to be systematically traced at the country, sector, and bilateral levels through various routes in global value chains. By...
