<p>The global service industry, commonly perceived as low-carbon, is in fact a significant driver of emissions growth. Yet, traditional emission-accounting-based assessments have overlooked the transmission pathways industry across regions, thereby making it difficult to uncover its dynamic and complex spatial industrial interconnections. This study addresses this gap by using multi-regional input-output (MRIO) analysis structural path decomposition (SPD) examine consumption-based (CBE) sector multiple countries from 1995 2021, offering new insights for targeted mitigation strategies. Results reveal steady 63% increase CBE services, primarily driven expansion public, health, financial services. While developed are net importers embodied developing nations largely serve exporters, with transportation—especially air water transport—contributing significantly carbon intensity. China, United States, Japan emerge top service-sector emitters, highlighting critical role both direct intermediate inputs driving emissions. The underscores need efficiency improvements green technological investments, particularly transport high-impact sectors, mitigate while supporting These findings offer policymakers on prioritizing sector-specific cross-border strategies achieve sustainable development industry.</p>
