Carbon Labelling and Low-Income Country Exports: A Review of the Development Issues

This article discusses the carbon accounting and carbon-labelling schemes being developed to address growing concerns over climate change. Its particular concern is their impact on small stakeholders, especially low-income countries. The popular belief that trade is by definition problematic is not...

The popular belief that trade is by definition problematic is not true; carbon efficiencies elsewhere in the supply chain may more than offset emissions from transportation.

However, their effective inclusion in labelling schemes will require innovative solutions to provide low-cost data collection and certification. 2012-03-30T07:32:54Z 2012-03-30T07:32:54Z 2009 Journal Article Development Policy Review 09506764 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/5452 EN http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/igo World Bank Journal Article
