Abstract: Abstract This paper introduces a novel approach to simultaneously estimate total (direct and indirect) GHG emissions linkages and leakages by integrating both the Leontief demand-driven and Ghosh supply-driven I–O models. Using Greece as a case study, this research contributes to the field of environmental interindustry linkage analysis by assessing the impact of international trade on the national carbon footprint. The analysis identifies industries with significant emissions linkages and leakages, emphasizing the role of domestic input substitution as a means to reduce GHG emissions. The proposed approach offers valuable insights for the formulation of targeted mitigation policies, contributing to the pursuit of sustainable development goals.
