2. Global Effect of the EU Food Carbon Tax on Food Industries and Products: Case Study of Brazil
University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för nationalekonomiAbstract : Several researchers suggest an introduction of a food carbon tax in EU to reduce food emissions following the European Green Deal, but taking into account food international trade, such action in EU could raise global food prices and results in possible decline in food production in some regions, thus reduce people's welfare, which is not in line with the global Sustainable Development Goals. Given that existing studies mainly focus on the local environmental, social, and economic effects of a carbon tax, our paper takes a further step by studying the possible global effect of the EU food carbon tax on food industries and products with Brazil as a case.

Nonetheless, these works have largely ignored the impact of consumption by sectors in generating greenhouse gas emissions, which remained estimated under a production-based system. READ MORE

5. Dematerialization: good, but not good enough
University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknikAbstract : Global raw material extraction has accelerated since the 1950s, causing resource depletion, ecosystem degra- dation, pollution, and climate change. To reduce such impacts, the economic drivers of material use must be addressed. Although economic growth often drives material use to increase, this increase can be counter- acted by dematerialization. READ MORE
