Methodology:: Methodology for original data not known – contact Enerdata 1) 'Total car km travelled' is calculated by multiplying 'Annual distance travelled by cars' and 'Stock of cars' 2) 'Total CO2 emissions of cars' is calculated by multiplying 'CO2 emissions of cars per km' with 'Total car km travelled' 3) For all dataset included in the graph Index 1992 = 1 is constructed by dividing the values for each year by the value for the year 1992

Consumption and the environment - SOER 2010 thematic assessment The consumption of goods and services in EEA member countries is a major driver of global resource use and associated environmental impacts. Growth in global trade is resulting in an increasing share of environmental pressures and impacts from European consumption taking place beyond Europe. Food and drink, housing, mobility and tourism are responsible for a large part of the pressures and impacts caused by consumption in the EU. Achieving significant reductions in environmental pressures and impacts will require changing private and public consumption patterns, to supplement gains achieved through better technology and improved production processes.
