Abstract: Quality of life improves with economic growth and hence requires increasing greenhouse-gas emissions. Little is known, however, about the role of international trade. Now research shows that most socio-economic benefits are actually accruing to carbon-importing countries. It also finds that high life expectancy is compatible with low carbon emissions, but high incomes are not.
