Abstract

The urgent need to sustainably manage emerging industries highlights the necessity of incorporating industrial chain perspectives within the absolute environmental sustainability assessment (AESA) framework. This study addresses a critical knowledge gap in evaluating inter-regional resource consumption and environmental impact dynamics associated with emerging industrial chains within the remaining safe operating space (SOS). We propose an AESA framework for emerging industrial chains, designed to: (1) holistically assess their environmental performance; (2) clarify the distribution of accountability and spatial characteristics of resource-environmental impacts along value chains; and (3) strengthen the integration of planetary boundaries (PBs), AESA, and regional policymaking. Building on a systematic synthesis of existing methodologies, this framework bridges industrial chain analysis with regional ecological boundaries, addressing both research and practical needs for multi-regional resource governance and industrial-environmental synergy. Through five structured steps, it systematically integrates policy instruments, theoretical foundations, hybrid modeling, and multi-source data to provide a holistic perspective for achieving SOS-compliant environmental sustainability in regional emerging industries, aligning with resource-efficient and eco-friendly development objectives. This study sets the stage for future empirical research and model integration, highlighting the critical contribution of incorporating an industrial chain perspective into the design of ASEA frameworks, ensuring Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are achieved within planetary boundaries.

全球边界内新兴产业链的绝对环境可持续性评价：系统文献综述

对新兴产业进行可持续管理的迫切需要凸显了将产业链观点纳入绝对环境可持续性评估（AESA）框架的必要性。本研究解决了在剩余安全运营空间（SOS）内评估与新兴产业链相关的区域间资源消耗和环境影响动态的关键知识缺口。我们提出了新兴产业链的AESA框架，旨在：(1)全面评估其环境绩效；(2)明确资源环境影响在价值链上的责任分布和空间特征；(3)加强行星边界（PBs）、AESA和区域决策的整合。在系统综合现有方法的基础上，该框架将产业链分析与区域生态边界联系起来，解决了多区域资源治理和产业环境协同的研究和实践需求。通过五个结构化步骤，系统整合政策工具、理论基础、混合模型和多源数据，为区域新兴产业实现符合sos标准的环境可持续性提供整体视角，与资源节约型和生态友好型发展目标相一致。本研究为未来的实证研究和模型整合奠定了基础，强调了将产业链视角纳入ASEA框架设计的关键贡献，确保在全球范围内实现可持续发展目标（sdg）。

期刊介绍： Sustainable production and consumption refers to the production and utilization of goods and services in a way that benefits society, is economically viable, and has minimal environmental impact throughout its entire lifespan. Our journal is dedicated to publishing top-notch interdisciplinary research and practical studies in this emerging field. We take a distinctive approach by examining the interplay between technology, consumption patterns, and policy to identify sustainable solutions for both production and consumption systems.
