OECD WPNA December 2nd, 2010 Assessing environmental sustainability: building « carbon footprint » accounts › Dual labelling at macro level for every aggregate of SUT –Which productive activities emit CO 2 in France and in what proportion? –What quantities of CO 2 emitted abroad via our imports? –What quantities of CO 2 emissions for final consumption, investment, exports? –Is carbon footprint of final consumption evenly distributed among the French population? wealthy/poor, young/old…
