>“消费排放反映了消费和生活方式>选择一个国家的公民。”Via this article https://ourworldindata.org/consumption-based-co2 I see that Belgium's **consumption-based CO2 emissions per capita** in 2018 is still above the level of 1990. [![enter image description here][1]][1] I wonder why? Why are Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Austria, Norway still above their CO2 consumption levels, while many other neighbouring countries such as the Netherlands, France, Germany, Italy, Denmark, Poland, Sweden, Ireland, ... did manage to get their levels down? Further more, I am wondering how they can correctly estimate the CO2 of all consumption? I believe this is not known for all brands/products? P.S.: In 'Sources' we can read: > Consumption-based emissions are national or regional emissions which > have been adjusted for trade (i.e. territorial/production emissions > minus emissions embedded in exports, plus emissions embedded in > imports). If a country's consumption-based emissions are higher than > its production emissions it is a net importer of carbon dioxide. > > The underlying source is an updated version of the paper by "Peters et > al.
