T
he Antarctic affects global climate change and environmental safety greatly. With the human activities increasing, the
influence on ecological environment is proliferating and migrating between different levels. Carbon footprint (CF) is
nowadays one of the most widely used environmental indicators. Given the uniqueness of Antarctic, this work defines the
carbon footprint for human actives on Antarctic based on connotation presented by formers. The calculation methods of
carbon footprint were discussed according to the principles of life cycle assessments. The mixed life cycle analyses (MLCA)
were presented to calculate the carbon footprint accurately. The MLCA method combines the input-output analysis with
bottom –up analysis and employs the advantage of each one. The driving factors were discussed influencing the formation of
carbon footprint of human activities on Antarctic. The meta-analyses were used and nearly all studies about carbon footprint
for Antarctic were investigated. Lastly, this study put some efforts to establish benign mankind activities in the Antarctic by the
study of the behavior of mankind activities.
Biography
Li Wei is a Professor at School of Economics and Management at Taiyuan University of Technology; Director of China Natural Resources Society and Deputy
