Using OECD input-output data, this study estimates embodied carbon emissions in maritime transport across BRICS (1995–2018) under producer, consumer, and shared responsibility frameworks. China and South Africa show export-driven emissions,…

Sanjith Gopalakrishnan

This paper examines the rationale and mechanisms for allocating responsibility for greenhouse gas emissions across supply chains. It addresses how Scope 3 accounting and reporting practices, along with policy implications, should assign acc…
