abstract:One way of attributing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is to measure the embedded emissions of goods that are being consumed (also referred to as "embodied emissions"). This is different from the question of to what extent the policies of one country to reduce emissions affect emissions in other countries (the "spillover effect" and "carbon leakage" of an emissions reduction policy).
Carbon Tracker has been campaigning for regulators to force firms to disclose the potential CO2 emissionsembedded in their fossil fuel reserves, in order to inform potential investors.
