Abstract

In this paper the effects of globalisation and related international transport on the global environment are studied. Globalisation refers to changing world outputs (scale effects), shifts in the composition and location of production and consumption activities (structural effects), innovation and diffusion of different technology paths (technology effects), and the production and consumption of different product mixes (product effects). In particular, the consequence of transport flows from and to the Netherlands for carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the 1987-1996 period are investigated. It is concluded that CO2 emissions caused by international transport from and to the Netherlands have fluctuated. Changes in transport volumes (scale effects) are the main cause for this. Countries of origin and destination are relatively constant and are therefore of less importance for changes in CO2 emissions. Changes in modal split contribute to a lowering of CO2 emissions. (A)
