This chapter in a report by ISPI - Istituto per gli Studi di Politica Internazionale and McKinsey & Company discusses the possible contribution of deglobalisation to the decarbonisation of global supply chains.  As over 80% of international trade is transported by sea, the impact would be mainly on maritime emissions.  More localized sourcing is often advocated as a means of cutting global carbon emissions. In practice, the relationship between deglobalization, if it were to happen at scale, and decarbonisation would be much more complex than it is generally portrayed. I try to illustrate this by drawing evidence from a wide variety of sources.
