SUMMARY:The structural nature of global supply chain emissions and the pot
 ential influence of regions\, industries and enterprises - Andrew Skelton\

DESCRIPTION:The reattribution of global GHG emissions from conventional pr
 oduction-based accounts (showing where emissions are released) to consumpt
 ion-based accounts (showing the emissions ‘embodied’ in consumed goods
  and services) reveals how national roles shift when the responsibility fo
 r emissions is taken from producers and given to end-consumers\, suggestin
 g the need for policies aimed at tackling final consumption needs and want
 s and driving emissions reductions from the supply chains that serve them.
  However\, the intermediate consumption activity of industries and individ
 ual enterprises also play a role in driving upstream emissions and provide
  an alternative leverage-point for consumption-oriented policy interventio
 n. Building on the current momentum for voluntary corporate reporting and 
 management of supply chain emissions\, the work presented is concerned wit
 h assessing the potential influence of collective corporate action (at the
  scale of regions\, industries and groups of enterprises) to reduce global
  supply chain emissions.  Specifically\, the presentation will cover three
  areas of research: (a) a system for mapping the accumulation of emissions
  along supply chains\; (b) an analysis into the potential influence of EU 
 industry over non-EU supply chain emissions\; and\, (c) a method for measu
 ring the potential influence of groups of interdependent enterprises over 
 their collective supply chain emissions that explicitly tackles double-cou
 nting issues.\n\nAndrew holds a Masters in Engineering from Durham Univers
 ity and began his career in product design before completing an MPhil in E
 ngineering for Sustainable Development at the University of Cambridge. He 
 has recently submitted his PhD thesis on the structural nature of global s
 upply chain emissions through 4CMR.\n
