Carbon Footprint of Housing in the Leeds City Region – A Best Practice Scenario Analysis
This 2008 report by the Stockholm Environment Institute, commissioned by the Environment Agency, analyzes the carbon footprint of the housing sector in the Leeds City Region (LCR). It evaluates the feasibility of meeting a target of an 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, specifically identifying the measures needed to reduce CO2e emissions by 38 million tonnes between 2010 and 2026.

POLICY BRIEF
This policy brief by the Stockholm Environment Institute examines the difference between territorial and consumer-based greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Scotland between 1992 and 2004. It argues that while territorial emissions have decreased, Scotland's carbon footprint has grown due to an increased reliance on imported goods produced abroad, suggesting that current accounting methods mask the true scale of Scotland's climate impact.
