"The global impact of national environmental commitments" by Watkins, Alex, Justin Johnson, Brooke Williams, Brett Day, Laura Sonter and Jonathan Rhodes Abstract There is a global push for nations to improve domestic environmental outcomes through policy change. Many of these policy initiatives are likely to result in reductions in domestic production in favour of imported goods and services. This has the potential to dramatically increase environmental impacts outside of the country implementing policy change and change where the environmental impacts of production are felt. Yet, little is known about how the displacement of environmental impacts from domestic policies to achieve environmental outcomes are felt globally. Here we assess how a policy aimed at reducing domestic production for every country propagates through the trade network to drive environmental impacts elsewhere. We identify the variation on impacts among countries and where these impacts may occur. We then identify how the structure of the trade network may explain potential impacts and what this means for policy development to meet global environmental targets. This has implications for coordination of environmental policies to achieve equitable environment outcomes. |
