This case study describes a project to assess the carbon and water footprints of the capital cities of Bolivia, Ecuador, and Peru to support urban planning and climate compatible development.

This case study describes the first phase of the 'Carbon and water footprinting in three Andean Cities' project, which assessed the carbon and water footprints of La Paz, Quito, and Lima to support municipal climate change mitigation and adaptation. The project provided the first greenhouse gas inventories for La Paz and Lima and the first city-level customized analysis for Quito, leading to the development of action plans and small-scale pilot projects to reduce environmental footprints.

This research paper, produced by the Stockholm Environment Institute for the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (Naturvårdsverket), examines policy instruments and interventions to reduce the negative impacts of Swedish consumption on health and the environment in other countries. It focuses on the international dimension of Sweden's 'generational goal' (generationsmålet), identifying key 'hotspots' such as electronics from China and soy from Brazil, and proposing a mix of economic, administrative, informative, and collaborative measures to drive systemic change toward sustainable consumption.

This case study examines the implementation of the "Huellas de Carbono e Hídrica en tres ciudades andinas: La Paz, Quito, Lima" project in La Paz, Bolivia. It details the first-ever measurement of the city's carbon and water footprints for the base year 2012, the identification of critical emission and consumption points, and the subsequent integration of reduction measures into municipal policy and budgeting.

This research paper describes a cost-effective community engagement model implemented in York, UK, which used a targeted social marketing approach to reduce carbon footprints through neighborhood-level initiatives.

This guide provides a comprehensive checklist and business case for public-sector procurers and policy-makers to implement sustainable public procurement (SPP). It emphasizes shifting the procurement mindset from 'best value for money' at the point of purchase to 'best value across the project/product life cycle,' utilizing life-cycle costing (LCC) to justify the higher upfront costs of green assets through long-term efficiency gains and reduced environmental externalities.

The York Green Neighbourhood Challenge was a community engagement project conducted from May 2009 to September 2010 in the City of York. Funded by the Without Walls Partnership Local Area Agreement (LAA) Delivery Fund, the initiative aimed to reduce household carbon emissions, raise awareness of low-carbon lifestyles, and foster community cohesion using a targeted social marketing approach.

This research paper demonstrates methods for estimating standard deviations for carbon multipliers within a multi-regional input-output (MRIO) framework, specifically applying these techniques to the UK's carbon footprint.

This research paper describes the development and results of a multi-region input-output (MRIO) model used to calculate the UK's national carbon footprints from 1992 to 2004, highlighting a growing gap between producer and consumer emissions.

This 2010 research paper by the Stockholm Environment Institute estimates the carbon footprint of smallholder diesel and electric irrigation pumps in five Sub-Saharan African countries. The study finds that emissions from these pumps are currently a negligible fraction of national agricultural emissions and are unlikely to become significant even under high-adoption scenarios, though local water resource stress may pose a more immediate environmental risk.

This working paper introduces the Resources and Energy Analysis Programme (REAP), an input-output-based software tool developed by the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) to calculate environmental pressures associated with consumption activities, primarily within the United Kingdom.

This 2009 report by Edmundo Claro for the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) analyzes the integration of sustainable development—specifically environmental and labor standards—into Chile's trade and investment policies. While Chile has actively included these themes in many of its free trade agreements (FTAs), the report identifies significant gaps in its foreign direct investment (FDI) framework and its approach to climate change.

This research paper examines the role of product standards, energy labelling, and processes and production methods (PPMs) in addressing climate change and their interactions with international trade law and the World Trade Organization (WTO).

This briefing, published by the Socialist Group in the European Parliament, examines the complex relationship between international trade and climate change. It presents diverse perspectives on whether trade is a solution or a driver of the climate crisis, discussing the role of the European Union (EU), the World Trade Organization (WTO), and the impact of trade policies on developing nations.

This report, published by the Socialist Group in the European Parliament and featuring contributions from the Center for International Environmental Law and Friends of the Earth, examines the tensions and potential synergies between international trade policies and climate change mitigation. It argues that while the current trade regime often promotes unsustainable consumption and production, trade can be leveraged to support climate goals through the liberalization of environmental goods, the implementation of high energy-efficiency standards, and the alignment of WTO rules with international climate agreements.

This research paper, published by the Stockholm Environment Institute in 2008, provides an environmental scoping study of five key economic sectors in the South West region of England. Using the Triple Bottom Line (BL3) software tool, the study estimates the carbon and ecological footprints of these sectors, benchmarking their resource productivity against UK national averages to inform regional debates on environmental limits.

This fact sheet describes the Resources and Energy Analysis Programme (REAP), a software tool developed by the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) to analyze the environmental impacts of economic activity and policy. REAP focuses on consumption-based accounting, tracking resource use and emissions through supply chains to generate ecological, carbon, and greenhouse gas footprints for various spatial scales, primarily within the UK.

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.

The Tees Valley Footprint Report finds that the region's Ecological Footprint (5.12 gha/cap) is over twice the world average, while its Carbon Footprint (10.85 t/cap) is lower than the UK average, partly due to lower disposable income. The report warns that 'Business as Usual' trends will likely increase per capita emissions from housing (5.5%) and transport (8.7%) over 20 years. While food consumption is a significant driver of the Ecological Footprint, the report suggests that targeted housing retrofits and ambitious, systemic transport shifts—rather than small-scale initiatives—are necessary to meet 2050 carbon reduction targets.

This report analyzes the carbon footprints and attitudes toward climate change of individuals aged 50 and over in the UK, dividing them into baby boomers (50-64), seniors (65-74), and elders (75+). It finds that baby boomers have the highest overall carbon footprint due to high spending on travel and consumption, while elders have the highest climate impact per pound spent due to carbon-intensive home heating. While the over 50s generally express fear and motivation regarding climate change, they report frustration with barriers to low-carbon living and believe the UK government and businesses must provide stronger leadership.
