www.regionalsustainability.org 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
4
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?
5
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
6
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
