Abstract
One norm in discussions of environmental equity is that all humans are equal, and the allowable amounts of resources consumption and environmental load per person must be equal.In reality, however, the per capita amounts of resources consumption and environmental load vary significantly. Furthermore, with economic globalization, every country in the world is strengthening the interdependency of resources consumption and environmental load and developed countries are transferring their environmental load to developing countries. In thisstudy, international interdependency of resources consumption and environmental load arising through trade for Asia-Pacific region was quantified from I-O table and also the degree of equitywas evaluated. The result indicated that resources consumption and environmental load of the region concentrated in the U.S. and China. A big discrepancy between the U.S. and other countries in terms of resources consumption and environmental load per capita was also revealed.
