ABSTRACT Greenhouse gas emissions, especially carbon dioxide, are the primary drivers of modern climate change. The hospitality industry, with its significant footprint, is expected to continue contributing substantially global emissions. While direct emissions from have been extensively studied, sector's indirect through international trade networks remain underexplored. This research addresses this gap by assessing embodied for 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2020. Our findings systematically characterize temporal spatial distribution tourism carbon. reveal that Asia Americas contribute most hospitality's carbon, while Africa Oceania least. Major contributors include United States, China, Japan, South Korea, strong correlations between national economies Key sectors involved in transmission electricity heat production, supply, transportation. Identifying these hotspot countries essential developing effective policies reduce footprint.

Abstract Water is a crucial raw material in economic production activities. Research indicates that water scarcity can lead to significant output losses (water risk, WSR), affecting not only the local area (referred as LWSR) but also causing other regions through trade networks virtual VWSR). With climate change exacerbating this challenge, understanding risk under changing climatic conditions essential. However, few studies have addressed issue comprehensively. To fill gap, we developed comprehensive model incorporating environmental flow requirements, withdrawal, supply, output, and assess LWSR VWSR among China's provinces change. Our analysis reveals growth WSR from $4.6 trillion 2020 $5 2030. Specifically, both (LWSR) (VWSR) amounted $0.9 $3.7 trillion, respectively, 2020, increasing $1.0 $4.0 by We identified hot‐spot sectors with high proposed relevant policy implications. findings contribute mitigation efforts, particularly formulating strategies address risk. Practitioner points Spatial heterogeneity‐based requirement considered. The of Chinese agricultural sector 2017 $1.1 trillion. are 0.3 0.8 $trillion, respectively. Hotspot identified.

Abstract Urban transformation plays a decisive role in China's achievement of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. However, comprehensive and authoritative sustainable development goal (SDG) indicator framework is currently lacking at city level. To address this gap, we first developed an integrated comprising 357 indicators 297 Chinese cities through literature review. Nevertheless, sheer number reviewed presents significant challenges data collection. The study then used principal component analysis multiple regression to identify small set SDG (principal indicators) with consideration collection difficulty. Finally, tested their effectiveness up 2030. key findings our are as follows: 1) 187 identified explain 90% variance all lowest difficulty, providing coverage SDGs achieving efficient information aggregation; 2) these demonstrated good availability vast majority (284 out 297), highlighting priority areas future infrastructure development; 3) continued applicability validated. This offers insights guide investments supporting urban development.
