由二氧化碳排放引起的氣候變化造成了全球氣候的持續(xù)威脅,重新點燃了全球倡導以盡可能堅定的態(tài)度應對二氧化碳排放負面影響的熱情。在污染物排放方面,二氧化碳排放量在新興經(jīng)濟體碳足跡中所占比例最高。大多數(shù)國家承諾支持1997年通過的《京都議定書》以應對全球變暖,新興經(jīng)濟體也不例外。新興經(jīng)濟體如巴西、俄羅斯、印度、中國和南非（金磚五國）等被認為是全球經(jīng)濟增長的主要支柱。這五個國家是全球碳排放最高的國家之一。盡管利益相關(guān)者通過執(zhí)行《京都議定書》、世界貿(mào)易組織與《聯(lián)合國氣候變化框架公約》之間的多邊貿(mào)易和環(huán)境談判做出了努力,但全球溫室氣體排放仍呈現(xiàn)出令人擔憂的趨勢。一些實證研究工作已經(jīng)探討了農(nóng)業(yè)生產(chǎn)、國際貿(mào)易和能源使用對發(fā)達國家和發(fā)展中國家環(huán)境的影響。大多數(shù)研究傾向于聚焦農(nóng)業(yè)生產(chǎn)、國際貿(mào)易和能源使用對環(huán)境的影響。很少有研究試圖捕獲在個體國家層面每個變量的分類組成部分對實際二氧化碳排放量的確切影響。因此,本研究著眼于農(nóng)業(yè)生產(chǎn)、國際貿(mào)易和能源消費這些不同組成部分對選定的新興經(jīng)濟體潛在碳排放的影響。這些變量的個體組成部分分別是農(nóng)作物生產(chǎn)（crop production,CRP）和牲畜生產(chǎn)（livestock ...
