Abstract

Wachstum und sektoraler Wandel allein haben in näherer Zukunft wahrscheinlich keinen dämpfenden Effekt auf die globalen Treibhausgasemissionen. Die vorliegende Untersuchung zeigt, dass Carbon Leakage ein Phänomen ist, welches auch im Kontext der Umwelt-Kuznets-Kurve relevant ist. Werden Emissionsexporte bzw. -importe berücksichtigt, so zeigt sich, dass der absteigende Ast der Umwelt-Kuznets-Kurve ein Trugschluss ist. Wollte man den ökologischen Fußabdruck eines Landes korrekt bestimmen, dann müssten die Emissionen bei der Herstellung aller konsumierten Güter unabhängig vom Emissionsstandort berücksichtigt werden. Hierbei wären eben auch die Emissionen von solchen Gütern miteinzubeziehen, die importiert und im Inland verbraucht bzw. veredelt und weiter exportiert werden.
