Reductions in impacts inside and outside the EU, from implementing circular economy interventions

Reduction in the climate change, air pollution, and biodiversity footprint of EU-27 (combining core and broad interventions at high ambition level in the current economic system), disaggregated into geographical region of impacts' savings. Note: Footprint approach for climate change (greenhouse gas emissions, in million tonnes of CO2 equivalent), air pollution (particulate matter, in thousand disease inc.), and biodiversity loss (land-use related biodiversity loss, in (10-3) global pdf). The impacts' savings originating within the EU-27 are compared to the impacts' savings originating outside the EU-27. The modelling of the location of impacts of all interventions in the current economic system should be interpreted as a what-if scenario in which a set of interventions is fully implemented (at high ambition level). The percentage change is presented on the Y-axis and the absolute difference is included in the bar labels, always compared to the baseline scenario (current economy).
