Terrestrial biodiversity impacts of replacing beef with alternative-protein burger patties across ten European Union Countries
Alternative-protein patties are increasingly promoted for their lower environmental footprint, yet their impacts on terrestrial biodiversity remain poorly understood. This study compares conventional beef patties with four alternatives — pea, soy, insect, and mycoprotein across ten selected countries. By integrating input–output models with GLAM Life Cycle Impact Assessment with increased impact pathway coverage, this study quantified terrestrial…
Spatiotemporal patterns of surface temperature response to forest harvesting in Europe
European forests have been intensively managed for the provision of renewable materials and are a valuable asset for climate change mitigation, adaptation, and biodiversity conservation. Forest harvesting fundamentally alters the physical structure and composition of forests, with consequences for climate regulation services. It can impact the land surface temperature (LST) both diurnally and seasonally, but the net LST impact of historical fores…
Assessing the social and environmental impacts of critical mineral supply chains for the energy transition in Europe
Advanced technologies are inherently dependent on critical minerals and their related metals. The mining extraction of these critical minerals leads to significant social and environmental impacts that extend beyond the regions where those advanced technologies are ultimately used. This study explores the global socio-environmental challenges arising from the European Climate Law's aim for net-zero greenhouse emissions by 2050, focusing on the EU…
Toward global and national toxicity footprints
Estimating comprehensive toxicity footprints, encompassing potential impacts of toxic releases from consumption on human health and ecosystems, remains challenging due to the absence of complete emission inventories and disaggregation in global economic sectors. This study proposes an integrative approach to evaluate the global toxicity footprint by combining multiple databases, inventorying methods gap‐filling/extrapolation techniques, and envir…
Shared mobility and lifestyles as mechanisms to reduce environmental impacts from passenger transportation
Despite the deployment of low- or zero-emission technologies, achieving emissions reductions in the passenger transportation sector remains challenging. Demand-side mechanisms can be instrumental in reducing environmental impacts of transportation and reconfiguring transportation systems in a way that shifts users away from private car ownership. In this article we look at the Netherlands, Sweden, and the United States to quantify the environment…
Shifting economic activity to services has limited potential to reduce global environmental impacts due to the household consumption of labour
The tertiary (or ‘service’) sector is commonly identified as a relatively clean part of the economy. Accordingly, sustainable development policy routinely invokes ‘tertiarization’—a shift from primary and secondary sectors to the tertiary sector—as a means of decoupling economic growth from environmental damages. However, this argument does not account for environmental impacts related to the household consumption of tertiary sector employees. He…
Increasing impacts of land use on biodiversity and carbon sequestration driven by population and economic growth
Happier with less? Members of European environmental grassroots initiatives reconcile lower carbon footprints with higher life satisfaction and income increases
The Environmental Impact of Green Consumption and Sufficiency Lifestyles Scenarios in Europe
Exiobase 3
Environmentally extended multiregional input‐output (EE MRIO) tables have emerged as a key framework to provide a comprehensive description of the global economy and analyze its effects on the environment. Of the available EE MRIO databases, EXIOBASE stands out as a database compatible with the System of Environmental‐Economic Accounting (SEEA) with a high sectorial detail matched with multiple social and environmental satellite accounts. In this…
Nullius in Verba1
With the growth of the field of industrial ecology (IE), research and results have increased significantly leading to a desire for better utilization of the accumulated data in more sophisticated analyses. This implies the need for greater transparency, accessibility, and reusability of IE data, paralleling the considerable momentum throughout the sciences. The Data Transparency Task Force (DTTF) was convened by the governing council of the Inter…
Growth in Environmental Footprints and Environmental Impacts Embodied in Trade
Most countries show a relative decoupling of economic growth from domestic resource use, implying increased resource efficiency. However, international trade facilitates the exchange of products between regions with disparate resource productivity. Hence, for an understanding of resource efficiency from a consumption perspective that takes into account the impacts in the upstream supply chains, there is a need to assess the environmental pressure…
Headline Environmental Indicators Revisited with the Global Multi‐Regional Input‐Output Database Exiobase
Environmentally extended multiregion input‐output (EEMRIO) databases are used to quantify numerous environmental pressures and impacts from a consumption perspective. However, for targeted communication with decision makers, large sets of impact indicators are unfavorable. Small sets of headline indicators have been proposed to guide environmental policy, but these may not cover all relevant aspects of environmental impact. The aim of our study w…
Prioritizing Consumption‐Based Carbon Policy Based on the Evaluation of Mitigation Potential Using Input‐Output Methods
Carbon footprints aim to engage consumers in contributing to climate‐change mitigation. Consumption‐oriented policy measures attempt to cause voluntary or incentivized interventions that reduce environmental impact through the supply chain by utilizing demand drivers. A large body of life cycle assessment studies describe how specific actions can reduce the environmental footprint of an individual or household. However, these assessments are ofte…
Towards Robust, Authoritative Assessments of Environmental Impacts Embodied in Trade
Global multiregional input‐output databases (GMRIOs) became the standard tool for tracking environmental impacts through global supply chains. To date, several GMRIOs are available, but the numerical results differ. This paper considers how GMRIOs can be made more robust and authoritative. We show that GMRIOs need detail in environmentally relevant sectors. On the basis of a review of earlier work, we conclude that the highest uncertainty in foot…
Connecting global emissions to fundamental human needs and their satisfaction
While quality of life (QOL)is the result of satisfying human needs, our current provision strategies result in global environmental degradation. To ensure sustainable QOL, we need to understand the environmental impact of human needs satisfaction. In this paper we deconstruct QOL, and apply the fundamental human needs framework developed by Max-Neef et al to calculate the carbon and energy foot prints of subsistence,protection,creation, freedom, …
Trade and the role of non-food commodities for global eutrophication
Mapping the carbon footprint of EU regions
While the EU Commission has encouraged Member States to combine national and international climate change mitigation measures with subnational environmental policies, there has been little harmonized effort towards the quantification of embodied greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from household consumption across European regions. This study develops an inventory of carbon footprints associated with household consumption for 177 regions in 27 EU coun…
Environmental Impact Assessment of Household Consumption
We analyze the environmental impact of household consumption in terms of the material, water, and land‐use requirements, as well as greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, associated with the production and use of products and services consumed by these households. Using the new EXIOBASE 2.2 multiregional input‐output database, which describes the world economy at the detail of 43 countries, five rest‐of‐the‐world regions, and 200 product sectors, we are…
Environmental and resource footprints in a global context
Lifting Industrial Ecology Modeling to a New Level of Quality and Transparency
Industrial ecology (IE) is a maturing scientific discipline. The field is becoming more data and computation intensive, which requires IE researchers to develop scientific software to tackle novel research questions. We review the current state of software programming and use in our field and find challenges regarding transparency, reproducibility, reusability, and ease of collaboration. Our response to that problem is fourfold: First, we propose…
Effect of aggregation and disaggregation on embodied material use of products in input–output analysis
Global Sustainability Accounting—Developing Exiobase for Multi-Regional Footprint Analysis
Measuring progress towards sustainable development requires appropriate frameworks and databases. The System of Environmental-Economic Accounts (SEEA) is undergoing continuous refinement with these objectives in mind. In SEEA, there is a need for databases to encompass the global dimension of societal metabolism. In this paper, we focus on the latest effort to construct a global multi-regional input−output database (EXIOBASE) with a focus on envi…
