This paper points out major problems associated with conventional accounting method of ecological footprint and provides a regional approach for ecological footprint calculation using the multi-regional input-output model and regional land use data. By accounting for the ecological footprints of China’s eight regions, this paper draws two...

Current national GHG inventory which is based on producer responsibility does not consider emissions embodied in international trade. According to the Kyoto Protocol, industrialised countries have committed to collectively reduce their GHG emissions to an average of 5% against 1990 levels over the period 2008-2012.
