CLIMATE POLICY 8 (2008) 577–587 Growing international trade has been one of the most important drivers for China’s recent economic growth. This growth has fed rapid increases in energy demand and carbon emissions since 2000. China is now the world’s largest emitter of carbon dioxide. There is mounting pressure from some in the international community for China to take specific actions to mitigate its emissions as part of a post-2012 climate regime. However, emissions embodied in internationally traded goods have not been given enough attention in this debate. This article discusses the results of research to quantify the emissions stemming from goods that are exported from China to other countries. It finds that these emissions accounted for 23% of China’s national total in 2004. The article sets out how this result has been obtained and compares it to the results of several other pieces of research to demonstrate the importance of this issue. Some pointers for international climate policy are then discussed, including the advantages and difficulties of moving to consumption-based emissions accounting, and implications for international trade rules.

متن کاملCertain subclasses of bi-univalent functions associated with the Aghalary-Ebadian-Wang operator
In this paper, we introduce and investigate two new subclasses of the functions class $ Sigma $ of bi-univalent functions defined in the open unit disk, which are associated with the Aghalary-Ebadian-Wang operator. We estimate the coefficients $|a_{2} |$ and $|a_{3} |$ for functions in these new subclasses. Several consequences of the result are also pointed out.
متن کاملLocalization Boyan algorithm to detect forest fires from MODIS sensor images
Of phenomena which much damage and irreparable import to forests and natural resources is the fire that each year, more than 100 fires occur in Iran and thousands of hectares of trees and plants eliminates. Given that fire risk is high in most parts of the world, full and continuous monitoring on this natural phenomenon, is essential. Use remote sensing is a way to identify and manage fire. Ahe...
