In recent years, the restructuring of global value chains (GVCs) has led to significant transformations in production activities and the associated carbon emissions in both developed countries (referred to as Northern countries) and developing countries (referred to as Southern countries). This study calculates and compares the value-added and carbon emissions transfer of North-South trade from 2004 to 2017 based on a multiregional input-output table. Before the restructuring of GVCs, the value-added in North-South trade increased rapidly. Accordingly, the carbon emissions intensity of Southern countries' exports decreased significantly, and the inequity of value-added and carbon emissions in North-South trade improved. After 2011, with the restructuring of GVCs, the carbon emissions intensity of exports in the Southern regions, except for East and South Asia, has increased, and the inequity of North-South trade has not decreased further. According to the results of the structural decomposition analysis, this is mainly due to the gradual reduction in the positive driving effect of domestic carbon emissions intensity. It is noteworthy that in recent years, the trade-related effects of intermediate products closely related to GVCs have begun playing a positive role in the decline of the carbon emissions intensity of exports; however, considerable room remains for their improvement.
