Greenhouse Gas Footprints (GHGFP): Emissions embodied in bilateral trade

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/>• Contact: <a href="mailto:icio-tiva.contact@oecd.org">icio-tiva.contact@oecd.org</a> mentioning GHG Footprint in the title of your message • Friendly-url: <a href="https://data-explorer.oecd.org/?tm=DF_ICIO_GHG_TRADE_2023">https://data-explorer.oecd.org/?tm=DF_ICIO_GHG_TRADE_2023</a><br/><br/><strong><em>Related datasets</em></strong><br/><br/>• <font color="#00008B"><a href="https://data-explorer.oecd.org/?tm=DF_ICIO_GHG_MAIN_2023">GHG emissions Principal footprint indicators</a></font><br/>• <font color="#00008B"><a href="https://data-explorer.oecd.org/?tm=DF_ICIO_GHG_ORGN_2023">Origin of GHG emissions embodied in final demand</a></font><br/>• <font color="#00008B"><a href="https://data-explorer.oecd.org/?tm=DF_ICIO_GHG_EXPD_2023">GHG emissions embodied in final demand expenditures</a></font><br/>• <font color="#00008B"><a href="https://data-explorer.oecd.org/?tm=DF_ICIO_GHG_SCOPE_2023">GHG emissions embodied in production by scope</a></font>
