This briefing describes 'Konsumtionskompassen' (Consumption Compass), an Excel-based tool developed by the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) to help Swedish municipalities analyze household climate footprints at the postal code level. The tool aims to identify 'hotspots' of consumption-based emissions to enable the creation of targeted local policy measures and incentives for sustainable consumption.

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 by the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI), commissioned by WWF, examines the climate impact of consumption within the Swedish public sector, specifically focusing on food and transport. Using case studies from Eskilstuna and Umeå municipalities, the report analyzes existing and potential policy instruments to drive quantitative, qualitative, and transformative changes in consumption patterns to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
