TL;DR: The results from a project aimed at creating an MRIO account that represents all countries at a detailed sectoral level, allows continuous updating, provides information on data reliability, contains table sheets expressed in basic prices as well as all margins and taxes, and contains a historical time series are described.

TL;DR: It is shown that a significant number of species are threatened as a result of international trade along complex routes, and that, in particular, consumers in developed countries cause threats to species through their demand of commodities that are ultimately produced in developing countries.

TL;DR: A new series of environmentally extended multi-region input-output (MRIO) tables with applications in carbon, water, and ecological footprinting, and Life-Cycle Assessment, as well as trend and key driver analyses, significantly advances the previous state of art.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantify tourism-related global carbon flows between 160 countries, and their carbon footprints under origin and destination accounting perspectives, and find that, between 2009 and 2013, tourism's global carbon footprint has increased from 3.9 to 4.5 CO2e, four times more than previously estimated, accounting for about 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the potential for decoupling between natural resource use and carbon emissions was assessed for 13 world regions and globally. And the authors showed that decarbonization and dematerialization are possible with well-designed policy settings and would not contradict efforts to raise human wellbeing and standards of living.
