  • The greenhouse gas emissions of pharmaceutical consumption and production

    Open AccessRick Hagenaars, Rosalie H Hagenaars et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet Planetary Health2025

  • Lifestyle change modelling for climate change mitigation

    Open AccessLaura Scherer, Mariësse A E van Sluisveld et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2025References: 11

    Lifestyle changes are an essential, complementary measure for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and, therefore, also an important ingredient to climate policy. Computational models of lifestyle changes and their contribution to climate change mitigation can provide valuable insights in support of decision-making by individuals and policymaking. In this Perspective, we examine four modelling approaches with this in mind: input-output analysis, lif…

  • How do carbon footprints from LCA and Eeioa databases compare? A comparison of ecoinvent and Exiobase

    Open AccessBernhard Steubing, Arjan de Koning et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2022

    Life cycle assessment (LCA) and environmentally extended input output analysis (EEIOA) are two widely used approaches to assess the environmental impacts of products and services with the aim of providing decision support. Here, we compare carbon footprint (CF) results for products and services in the ecoinvent 3.4 cut-off and the hybrid version of EXIOBASE. While we find that there is good agreement for certain sectors, more than half of the mat…

  • Life cycle assessment‐based Absolute Environmental Sustainability Assessment is also relative

    Open AccessJeroen B Guinée, Arjan de Koning et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2022

    Over the past years, an increasing number of scholarly papers have used the planetary boundaries (PBs) within life cycle assessment (LCA) to determine if the life cycle impacts of a product system fit within those PBs and thereby establish the absolute sustainability of the product system. This type of LCA is nowadays coined as LCA‐based Absolute Environmental Sustainability Assessment (AESA). “Absolute” thereby refers to methods enabling the com…

  • Modeling the circular economy in environmentally extended input–output

    Open AccessFranco Donati, Sidney Niccolson et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2021

    Global environmental and resource problems ask for new ways of managing the production and consumption of resources. The implementation of new paradigms, such as the circular economy, requires decision‐makers at multiple levels to make complex decisions. For this, clear analyses and modeling of scenarios are of utmost importance. Meanwhile, as the sophistication of databases and models increases so does the need for user‐friendly tools to use the…

  • Exiobase 3

    Open AccessKonstantin Stadler, Richard Wood et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2018

    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…

  • Headline Environmental Indicators Revisited with the Global Multi‐Regional Input‐Output Database Exiobase

    Open AccessZoran J N Steinmann, Aafke M Schipper et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2018

    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…

  • Towards Robust, Authoritative Assessments of Environmental Impacts Embodied in Trade

    Open AccessArnold Tukker, Arjan de Koning et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2018

    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…

  • Trade-offs between social and environmental Sustainable Development Goals

    Open AccessLaura Scherer, Paul Behrens et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2018Cited by: 26References: 4

    The UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aim to improve the lives of people, increase prosperity, and protect the planet. Given the large number of goals, interactions are inevitable. We analyse the interaction between two social goals (related to SDG1 Poverty and SDG10 Inequality) and three environmental goals (related to SDG13 Carbon, SDG15 Land, and SDG6 Water). We use a trade-linked, consumption-based approach to assess interactions i…

  • Consumption-based material flow indicators — Comparing six ways of calculating the Austrian raw material consumption providing six results

  • Environmental and resource footprints in a global context

  • Global Sustainability Accounting—Developing Exiobase for Multi-Regional Footprint Analysis

    Open AccessRichard Wood, Konstantin Stadler et al.ARTICLESustainability2014

    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…

  • Environmental impacts of changes to healthier diets in Europe

    Open AccessArnold Tukker, R Alexandra Goldbohm et al.ARTICLEEcological Economics2011

  • Environmental Impacts of Consumption in the European Union

    Open AccessGjalt Huppes, Arjan de Koning et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2006

    For developing product policy, insight into the environmental effects of products is required. But available life‐cycle assessment studies (LCAs) are hardly comparable between different products and do not cover total consumption. Input‐output analysis with environmental extensions (EEIOA) of full consumption is not available for the European Union. Available country studies have a low sector resolution and a limited number of environmental exten…

  • Toward an Information Tool for Integrated Product Policy

    Open AccessReinout Heijungs, Arjan de Koning et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2006

    Integrated product policy, according to the European Union, requires reliable data on the impact of consumer products along their life cycles. We argue that this necessarily requires the development of an information tool for hybrid analysis, combining aspects of life‐cycle assessment and input‐output analysis. A number of requirements in the development of such a hybrid information tool are identified, mainly concerning data and computational st…
