Project
Socio-Spatial Carbon Collaborative
Daniel Cohen | May 21, 2018
This project will establish a third-generation, household-based, neighborhood-level carbon footprint database for the United States. It aims to clarify how carbon moves spatially through the economy, built environment, and everyday life; how these processes intersect with a range of social and spatial inequalities that also shape well-being; and how exposure to potential carbon-pricing would impact different communities.
Grant Result
Typically, we measure emissions that occur within a geographic boundary. But consumption-based accounting tells a different story: that affluent communities depend heavily on polluting activity that occurs elsewhere.
