Tsinghua University's He Kebin-Liu Huan Team Publishes Multi-Scale Mapping of CO₂ Emissions from Global Trade-Related Transpor...
When a product is shipped from East Asia to Europe, it can typically be tracked via a waybill, allowing the carbon emissions from its transport to be estimated. However, when the scope expands from a single trade flow to all products across all global trade pairs, the problem becomes far more complex: Do identical products adopt different transport modes across countries? How much variation exi...
