This work is a result of the European Commission under Horizon Europe project TWIN SEEDS (Towards a World Integrated and Socio-economically Balanced European Economic Development Scenario), grant number 101056793 (<a href=\"https:\/\/doi\/\">https:\/\/doi<\/a>. org\/10.3030\/101056793).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This paper aims to measure the magnitude of those relocation patterns and their impact on carbon emissions, focusing on the European Union (EU). For this purpose, we use an environmentally extended multiregional input-output model to calculate global emissions&#8217; trends from 1995 to 2018 and to identify different trade-relocation patterns, quantifying their carbon content. We also perform a structural decomposition analysis to divide the changes in the EU&#8217;s carbon footprint according to different drivers. Our results show a change in global emissions evolution from 2008 onwards, with emerging trends of global value chains reconfiguration showing a more vital role of environmental concerns. We also find that reshoring and reoffshoring are less emission-intensive than offshoring. In the EU&#8217;s context, its footprint has been reduced since the 2008 crisis, mainly due to lower emissions intensities and technical changes towards cleaner ways of production. In contrast, the geographical shift of suppliers contributes to the growth of emissions in the whole period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find the full text here:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.ecolecon.2025.108828\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.ecolecon.2025.108828<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"826\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uclm.es\/grupogear\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/204\/2026\/04\/Captura-de-pantalla-2025-10-15-131632-1024x826.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uclm.es\/grupogear\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/204\/2026\/04\/Captura-de-pantalla-2025-10-15-131632-1024x826.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.uclm.es\/grupogear\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/204\/2026\/04\/Captura-de-pantalla-2025-10-15-131632-300x242.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.uclm.es\/grupogear\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/204\/2026\/04\/Captura-de-pantalla-2025-10-15-131632-768x619.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.uclm.es\/grupogear\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/204\/2026\/04\/Captura-de-pantalla-2025-10-15-131632-624x503.png 624w, https:\/\/blog.uclm.es\/grupogear\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/204\/2026\/04\/Captura-de-pantalla-2025-10-15-131632.png 1208w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New publication from the Twin Seeds Project!
