  1. Ecological Footprintsand SCPJohn BarrettStockholm Environment InstituteSustainable Consumption and Production Programme

  2. 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

  3. 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. 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. 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. 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

  7. Carbon Dioxide Analysis

  8. Breakdown of the Ecological Footprint of UK

  9. Transport Ecological Footprint

  10. Car Footprint by Purpose

  11. EF results for Selected Local Areas

  12. Transportation in Hertfordshire

Group Description Group Description 1 Wealthy Achievers, Suburban Areas 10 Skilled workers, home owning areas 2 Affluent Greys, Rural Communities 11 New Home Owners, Mature Communities 3 Prosperous Pensioners, Retirement Areas 12 White collar workers, better off multi-ethnic areas 4 Affluent Executives, Family Areas 13 Older people, less prosperous areas 5 Well-off workers, family areas 14 Council Estate Residents, Better-off homes 6 Affluent Urbanites, Town and City Areas 15 Council estate residents, high unemployment 7 Prosperous Professionals, Metropolitan areas 16 Council estate residents, greatest hardship 8 Better-off executive, inner city areas 17 Multi-Ethnic, low income areas 9 Comfortable middle agers, mature home owning areas Holidays Transport

  14. Sustainable Diets

  15. Transport In the Wales Ecological Footprint Project the following policies were analysed;1. Increasing car use2. ‘Intra-Wales Air Service’3. Demand Side Management

  16. Sustainable Living

  17. York EF Projections and Target York Target – Reduce the EF to 3.5 gha/capita by 2033

  18. Other Applications • Strategic Environmental Assessment • Community Regeneration • Sustainable Procurement • Behavioural Change

  19. Releasing Data • In January • EF of all Local Authority Areas • Carbon dioxide emissions of consumption for LAAs • Standardised report of all findings • PowerPoint presentation of findings • In March • Same for Scotland and UK regions • Complete mass balance of Scotland • Eco-Budget Report

  20. Resources and Energy Analysis ProgrammeDeveloped under “Eco-Budget UK” ProjectReleased around MarchBeing tested in Scotland
