Carbon footprint

Apart from the emissions produced within a country (domestic GHG emissions), it is essential to also account for the sum of the GHG emissions produced along the supply chains of goods and services consumed in a country (also known as the “carbon footprint”). Climate change impact hotspots provides insights from different perspectives into a country’s  Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) performance regarding GHG emissions and related climate change impact.

You can access to the full set of data and reports through the SCP Hotspots Analysis Tool (SCP-HAT) which aims at identifying the hot spot areas of unsustainable production and consumption in order to support setting priorities in national SCP and climate policies.
