International trade can lead to a redistribution of GHG emissions between producer and consumer countries. For example, an economy can externalize its emissions by importing goods produced in countries with lower environmental standards. <font color="#00008B"><strong>Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions embodied in international trade</strong></font> are those generated during the production, transportation, and delivery of internationally traded goods and services (i.e. the lifecycle of products). These estimates can be significant as they reflect the full carbon footprint of traded products. They can provide useful orientations for effective climate policy and environmental regulations.<br/><br/>• Methodology: <a href="https://www.oecd.org/en/publications/measuring-greenhouse-gas-footprints-in-global-production-networks_fc426ab9-en.html">Measuring Greenhouse Gas Footprints in Global Production Networks</a><br/> • Note: <a href="https://webfs-sti.oecd.org/files/STI-PIE/GHG/2025/GHGFP%202025%20edition%20supplementary%20notes.pdf">Additional information on GHG FP indicators 2025 edition</a><br/> • Contact: <a href="mailto:icio-tiva.contact@oecd.org">icio-tiva.contact@oecd.org</a>.<br/><br/><strong><em>Access to other editions</em></strong><br/>• <font color="#00008B"><a href="https://data-explorer.oecd.org/?tm=DF_ICIO_GHG_MAIN_2023">GHGFP editions</a></font>
