A global analysis of CO2 and non-CO2 GHG emissions embodied in trade with Belt and Road Initiative countries

Introduction: The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is an important cooperative framework that increasingly affects the global economy, trade, and emission patterns. However, most existing studies pay insufficient attention to consumption-based emissions, embodied emissions, and non-CO2 greenhouse gase...
