Annual greenhouse gas and carbon dioxide emissions relating to UK and England consumption.
Documents
Details
This publication looks at the carbon footprint for the UK and England.
The carbon footprint refers to greenhouse gas emissions associated with the consumption spending of UK or England’s residents on goods and services, wherever in the world these emissions arise along the supply chain. It also includes emissions which are directly generated by UK or England’s households from the use of fossil fuels for private motoring and to heat homes. These emissions are often referred to as ‘consumption emissions’ to distinguish them from estimates relating to the emissions ‘produced’ within a country’s territory or economic sphere.
