This report by the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) calculates the consumption-based climate footprint of residents in Umeå municipality based on a 2018 survey. It identifies key emission 'hotspots' and provides recommendations for local policy interventions to align with the goal of reducing emissions to approximately one ton of CO2e per person by 2050.

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.

The report 'The State of Sustainable Markets: Statistics and Emerging Trends 2015' provides a comprehensive data snapshot of Voluntary Sustainability Standards (VSS) across nine commodity sectors: bananas, cocoa, coffee, cotton, palm oil, soybeans, cane sugar, tea, and forestry. Produced by the International Trade Centre (ITC), the Research Institute of Organic Agriculture (FiBL), and the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), the document tracks growth in certified areas and production volumes, highlighting the rapid expansion of sustainable markets and the challenges of data consistency and multiple certification.

This fact sheet provides an overview of the software tools, online platforms, and research activities developed by the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) to support climate change mitigation and adaptation. The document details specific tools for energy planning (LEAP), water resources planning (WEAP), consumption-based environmental impact accounting (REAP), and knowledge sharing for adaptation (weADAPT), while outlining SEI's strategic focus on capacity-building and the integration of these tools to address sustainable development challenges.

This 2014 report by SEI Tallinn, funded by the Estonian Ministry of the Environment, provides the first detailed analysis of food waste and food loss in Estonian households and catering institutions. The study identifies households as the largest contributors to food waste and highlights significant potential for reduction in both domestic and professional food service settings.

This 2012 report by the Stockholm Environment Institute describes the Resources and Energy Analysis Programme (REAP), a tool designed to calculate and illustrate the global environmental impact of consumption at national, regional, and local levels in Sweden. The report emphasizes the difference between traditional territory-based emission accounting and consumption-based accounting, which includes emissions from imported goods. It provides a detailed explanation of REAP's methodology, its database and scenario functions, and presents case studies from various Swedish municipalities to demonstrate how the tool can support policy decisions for sustainable development.

This 2009 position paper by Friends of the Earth International defines and critiques 'destructive logging,' identifying it as a primary driver of forest destruction often carried out by transnational corporations. The document argues that flawed political frameworks, corruption, and unsustainable timber demand facilitate these practices, which undermine the rights of indigenous and local communities and cause severe environmental degradation.

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.

Minutes from the Green Economy Coalition (GEC) Steering Group meeting on October 12, 2017, detailing updates on European Commission (EC) policy, the development of 'Living principles' for a green economy, preparations for a global meeting in Trinidad, and a new partnership with WWF France.

This policy brief, published by the Stockholm Environment Institute, details the findings of the UNLOCK project regarding the role of Swedish municipalities in advancing sustainable consumption. It examines current practices, the use of data, and the barriers local governments face, concluding that while there is strong momentum, greater national coordination and financial support are required to amplify impacts.

This policy brief by the Stockholm Environment Institute details the volume and causes of food waste and food loss across Estonia's food supply chain, based on a study conducted between 2020 and 2021. It identifies households as the largest contributors to food waste and highlights a significant increase in waste within the retail sector compared to 2015.

This policy brief by the Stockholm Environment Institute examines the potential conflict between low-greenhouse-gas (GHG) consumption strategies in high-income countries and the economic development of lower-income countries. Using a scenario developed for the Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP), the authors find that while shifting consumption from goods to services can reduce emissions and benefit the domestic economy of a high-income country, it may cause significant GDP declines in Least Developed Countries (LDCs) due to reduced trade in manufactured goods, particularly clothing.

This report by the Stockholm Environment Institute examines consumption-based emissions (CBEs) within the European Union, highlighting that the EU is a net importer of CO2 emissions. It analyzes the environmental footprint of EU household consumption, evaluates current policy frameworks, and provides detailed case studies of Sweden, Denmark, and France to identify barriers and opportunities for mitigating CBEs.

This research synthesis briefing from the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) outlines the institute's work on sustainable consumption, production, and trade. It focuses on the development of consumption-based accounting tools to reveal the full environmental costs of goods and services, the role of government and business in driving sustainable behavior, and the vulnerabilities inherent in complex global supply chains.

This research paper by the Stockholm Environment Institute examines the economic trade-offs of low-greenhouse-gas (GHG) consumption strategies in high-income countries, specifically focusing on the potential negative impacts on lower-income countries and Least Developed Countries (LDCs). Using the United Kingdom as a primary example and a multi-regional input-output (MRIO) model, the authors find that shifting consumption from high-GHG goods to low-GHG services can reduce emissions but may disproportionately harm the GDP of poor exporting nations.

This document outlines 'Outcome 1' of the WWF South Africa Strategy 2025, which focuses on implementing sustainable, inclusive, and regenerative production and consumption value chains in priority economic sectors to address poverty, food insecurity, and environmental degradation.
