The accounting of indirect material requirements in material flow-based indicators
Rodrigues, J. & Giljum, S. (2005)
One important question in the field of Material Flow Accounting (MFA) is the accounting of indirect material flows, via an appropriate indicator and computation methodology. Several indicators and computation methodologies are currently in use, which complicates the articulation and comparison between different empirical studies. In this paper we present [...]
North-South trade and the distribution of environmental goods and burdens – A biophysical perspective
Giljum, S. & Eisenmenger, N. (2003)
The implications of North-South trade for economic development and the distribution of economic benefits through international trade have been a long-standing discussion in economics. In the last 20 years, environmental distribution issues gained increasing attention in the international debate, in particular since the recognition of sustainable development as the [...]
Ecological economic policy for sustainable development – Potentials and domains for intervention for delinking approaches

Due to the increasing environmental problems, conventional environmental policy will not suffice to secure a development path that can be sustainable on a global scale. The greenhouse effect, holes in the ozone layer and losses in biodiversity are only some of the most striking damages that have [...]
