A Framework for Reducing Global Manufacturing Emissions by
The journal of environment & development, 2016-06-01, Vol.25 (2), p.159-190
This article establishes outsourcing as a cause of increase in global emissions, presents an original framework to account for greenhouse gas emissions from outsourcing, and recommends a carbon tax on differential emissions between importing and exporting countries. The impact of the carbon tax is shown through examples illustrating the potential financial implications for nations (i.e., the United States, Germany, and China) and an organization heavily engaged in sourcing from energy inefficient nations (i.e., Walmart). The framework provides a basis for developing government policy and assisting corporations in choosing environmentally friendly destinations. The motivation for the research is that current emissions accounting practices are based on places of generation, which provides an incomplete accounting of a nation's emissions inventories and does not provide organizations with insight into the environmental impacts of their offshore operations. The proposed model is transparent, scalable, and relatively simple to implement. The model can provide a basis for improved national policies that will encourage corporations to choose energy-efficient destinations for offshore outsourcing and to help reduce global greenhouse gas emissions.
The Global Food-Energy-Water Nexus by
Water availability is a major factor constraining humanity's ability to meet the future food and energy needs of a growing and increasingly affluent human population. Water plays an important role in the production of energy, including renewable energy sources and the extraction of unconventional fossil fuels that are expected to become important players in future energy security. The emergent competition for water between the food and energy systems is increasingly recognized in the concept of the “food-energy-water nexus.” The nexus between food and water is made even more complex by the globalization of agriculture and rapid growth in food trade, which results in a massive virtual transfer of water among regions and plays an important role in the food and water security of some regions. This review explores multiple components of the food-energy-water nexus and highlights possible approaches that could be used to meet food and energy security with the limited renewable water resources of the planet. Despite clear tensions inherent in meeting the growing and changing demand for food and energy in the 21st century, the inherent linkages among food, water, and energy systems can offer an opportunity for synergistic strategies aimed at resilient food, water, and energy security, such as the circular economy.

The global economy by
This book gives readers an in-depth yet reader-friendly look at one of the most important aspects of modern economics. The global economy represents the combined economic output of all countries on Earth and is currently estimated at around $80 trillion. While globalization has made it possible for greater economic interaction between nations and rapid growth on a worldwide scale, many have argued that it has also helped to widen the gap between the richest and poorest nations. The movement of goods and services between countries also has major impacts on national politics and international diplomacy, as well as significant implications for human rights and welfare.
Making Sustainability Work: Best Practices in Managing and Measuring Corporate Social, Environmental, and Economic Impacts by
The best practices in corporate sustainability performance are no longer the exclusive domain of companies like Ben & Jerry's or The Body Shop, as they were a decade ago; now, large, multinational companies like G.E. and Wal-Mart are leading the way with significant financial and organizational commitments to social and environmental issues. However, good intentions aren't enough. Whether motivated by concern for society and the environment, government regulation, stakeholder pressures, or economic profit, managers and strategists need to continue making significant changes to more effectively manage their social, economic, and environmental impacts—and to remain competitive
The Social Consequences of Income Distribution—Are Increasing Company Profits a Threat to Economic and Social Stability? by
The aim of this text is to show that unusually high levels of company profit should not be treated as a sign of a healthy economic situation but rather of a growing socio-economic imbalance. Huge profits are caused by the structure of many global markets—multinational companies often dominate markets and depress local competitors. The decline in household revenues and public budgets has led to ever larger public and private debts. At the same time, economic policy, which is determined by current politics, has contributed to a growth in income inequalities and social imbalances. The tax system has become ever less progressive and the structure of the financial market has become highly procyclical. The data analyzed in this text comes mainly from advanced economies, but it is clear that income distribution is one of the most important challenges facing the entire global economy.
The retreat of the global company; Multinationals by
IT WAS as though the world had a new appetite. A Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) outlet opened near Tiananmen Square in 1987. In 1990 a McDonald's sprang up in Pushkin Square, flipping burgers for 30,000 Muscovites on its first day. Later that year Ronald McDonald rolled into Shenzhen, China, too. Between 1990 and 2005 the two companies' combined foreign sales soared by 400%.
