Content
• Adapt National Footprint Accounts to make it more relevant to SCP
• Make this relevant to Devolved Countries and Local Authorities
– Eco-Budget Project
– Scotland’s Global Footprint Project
– Resources and Energy Analysis Programme
www.regionalsustainability.org
UK Policy
• One Planet Economy (Chapter 3 of SDS)
• Scottish Sustainable Development Strategy
• Sustainable Consumption and Production Framework
• Decoupling Economy from Environment
• Concern related imports of goods and services
www.regionalsustainability.org
Relevant to Devolved Countries and Local Authorities
• How can Scotland contribute to a “One Planet Economy”
• What understanding do we have of the consumption in Scotland?
• How effective might be different policies be?
• Transport, Housing, Energy Efficiency, Procurement, Waste
• Closer or further away from our goal?
www.regionalsustainability.org
UK Accounts to Local Level
• Robust approach to move from National to Local
• Used in Scottish LAs
• Using Input-Output Tables to understand indirect flows
• Allocating the Carbon Dioxide Emissions and EF to expenditure
• Employing Local Data to Calculate the EF of all local authority areas
www.regionalsustainability.org
The Result
• Detailed understanding of the impact of consumption patterns by 70 categories
• Carbon Dioxide Emissions and EF of every devolved country, regional and local authority area in the UK
• Breakdown of Carbon Dioxide Emissions and EF by 54 socio-demographic groups
• Model that has a significant number of applications at devolved country and local level (policy and communication)
• Under Eco-Budget Project, Scot – Material Flow Accounts for UK, Scotland, Wales and regions
