Consumption Compass 2.0: a summary of methods and data used

The Consumption Compass 2.0 uses a hybrid scaling approach to downscale national consumption-based emissions data to Demographic Statistical Areas (DeSO) in Sweden. It integrates diverse datasets, including Mosaic lifestyle profiles, household budget surveys, and energy consumption data, to provide local-level insights. The tool also includes a scenario function for municipalities to model the impact of consumption shifts in transport, energy, food, and goods through 2050, accounting for rebound emissions.

• The Consumption Compass 2.0 employs a hybrid scaling approach to estimate emissions at the local level, combining bottom-up data collection with top-down validation to ensure local sums align with national totals. This process utilizes Demographic Statistical Areas (DeSO), which divide Sweden into 5,984 geographical areas.
