Paris pledges have yet to translate into effective climate policy as global warming approaches 1.5°C. A major political obstacle to the green transition is the “job-killing” argument, which persists due to public concerns about job losses and the inevitable decline of some sectors. To examine how this challenge varies across sectors, we analyse the...

Extending multi‐regional input–output (MRIO) models with spatially explicit life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) models allows practitioners to quantify biodiversity impacts at every step of global supply chains. Inconsistencies may be introduced, however, when high‐resolution characterization factors (CFs) are aggregated so as to match the low spat...

In industrial ecology, approaches have been developed to analyze the contribution of specific sectors to environmental impacts within supply chains. In economics, a range of methods addresses the forward linkage (use of output) and backward linkage (dependency on inputs) of sectors, and the analysis of key sectors. This article offers a formal inve...

In industrial ecology, approaches have been developed to analyse the contribution of specific sectors to environmental impacts within supply chains. In economics, the analysis of key sectors has been undertaken through hypothetical extraction, in which the role of sectors is assessed as the effect of their removal on the solution of the input-outpu...

Invasive species are the second most important reason for species extinction since 1500 ad . In addition, these invasive species can cause vast economic loss. In marine ecoregions, alien species introductions are increasing, and those that become invasive have caused profound changes in many marine ecoregions. We compiled a database consisting of i...

Sustainable development and digital transformation profoundly re-shape industrial societies but have been studied largely independently. In light of pressing global environmental and social challenges, both transformations need to be well aligned with each other to achieve multiple objectives such as listed under the UN Sustainable Development goal...

Biodiversity footprinting links consumers to the biodiversity pressure their consumption induces, thereby informing choices and enabling participation in remediation measures. In order for countries, cities and households to reduce their impacts it is useful to know more precisely what the various drivers of their footprints are. Here we ask: do ur...
