Abstract: Abstract For the last three decades, global warming and climate change and their implications have been a focal point for researchers, regulators, and politicians. The earth temperature and the GHG emissions have reached alarming levels fearing the irreversibility point, that’s why the sustainability transition has become on global agendas. Increasing earth population, economic growth, and industrialization are said to contribute to climate change. In this regard, commodities are in the heart of these factors; commodities feed economic growth, and they satisfy individuals’ needs. Therefore, in this chapter, I present the climate-related issues in commodity production, mobility, and consumption, and the global efforts and policies to minimize the negative externalities from commodities.
