=== Increased Emissions === Globalization is criticized for its role in increasing carbon dioxide emissions. The increased volume of international trade increases energy consumption as seen in a 2001 study revealing a relationship between economic globalization and trade openness leads to energy consumption and {{CO2}} emissions.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Kalaycı |first1=Cemalettin |last2=Hayaloğlu |first2=Pınar |date=2019-01-01 |title=The Impact of Economic Globalization on {{CO2}} Emissions: The Case of NAFTA Countries |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/330074673 |journal=International Journal of Energy Economics and Policy |volume=9 |issue=1 |pages=356–360 |doi=10.32479/ijeep.7233|s2cid=230493875 |doi-access=free }}</ref> International trade relies on various means of transportation including trains, trucks, planes, boats, and ships, each emitting a large quantity of emissions. The development of the transportation sector has greatly contributed to the rise of greenhouse gas; the transportation sector in the United States alone emits 1.9 billion tons of {{CO2}} annually.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Transportation Replaces Power in U.S. as Top Source of {{CO2}} Emissions |url=https://e360.yale.edu/digest/transportation-replaces-power-in-u-s-as-top-source-of-co2-emissions |access-date=2022-03-01 |website=Yale E360 |language=en-US}}</ref> The farther a good travels, the more fuel is burned, releasing {{CO2}}. These emissions contribute to climate change, ocean acidification, and decreased biodiversity. Moreover, the good being traded is created using electricity and intermediate goods, which are oftentimes products from international trading. In 2018, countries under the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (China, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, and ten countries of ASEAN) accounted for 39.1% of global {{CO2}} emissions.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Tian |first1=Kailan |last2=Zhang |first2=Yu |last3=Li |first3=Yuze |last4=Ming |first4=Xi |last5=Jiang |first5=Shangrong |last6=Duan |first6=Hongbo |last7=Yang |first7=Cuihong |last8=Wang |first8=Shouyang |date=2022-01-20 |title=Regional trade agreement burdens global carbon emissions mitigation |journal=Nature Communications |language=en |volume=13 |issue=1 |pages=408 |doi=10.1038/s41467-022-28004-5 |pmid=35058436 |pmc=8776788 |bibcode=2022NatCo..13..408T |issn=2041-1723}}</ref> Through globalization, trade partnerships have been created to facilitate easy international trade for intermediate goods. This ease allows for more goods to be traded internationally for a cheaper export price, encouraging foreign countries to continue transporting goods, and thus increasing {{CO2}} emissions.
