| Abstract | "As a result of globalization, goods and services consumed in one country are often produced in other countries and exchanged via international trade. This book describes how local consumption is increasingly met by global supply chains, often involving large geographical distances and leading to global environmental impacts, such as pollution, climate change, water scarcity, and deforestation and other land conversions. The authors provide an overview of key methods, including Multi-Regional Input-Output analysis and Life Cycle Assessment. Subsequent chapters connect local consumption to the global consequences of different environmental issues"-- Provided by publisher. |
