Environmental impacts of production-consumption systems in Europe. This report provides another perspective on the green economy transition, addressing the global value chains that meet European demand for goods and services. In doing so, it goes beyond previous reports and analyses to address the global dimension of Europe's economic activities. This perspective is highly relevant because European production and consumption systems rely heavily on imported resources and goods.

Figures used

The overall picture of the energy system This Sankey diagram shows the composition of the primary energy entering the energy system of the EU-28 in 2013, and where this primary energy was used, either as losses or as consumption by specific sectors of the economy. The units are million tonnes of oil equivalent (Mtoe).
EU-27 trade of clothing with the rest of the world The graph shows the trade flows by weight of clothing between EU-27 and the rest of the world in 2012, showing the specific trade flows of these commodities between the different continents.
Imports and exports of electrical and electronic goods The graph shows the trade flows of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) products between EU-27 and 5 regions of the world in 2012, showing the specific trade flows of these commodities between the different regions.
Net trade flows in soya, meat and dairy products between EU-27 and the rest of the world, 2012 The figure shows the net trade flows of soya and meat and dairy products between EU-27 and the rest of the world in 2012, showing the specific trade flows of these commodities between the different continents.
Trade balance for food, clothing and electric and electronic goods by weight The graph shows the trade flows of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) products, food products and clothing between EU-27 and the rest of the world in 2012. Food trade includes live animals. Data for food refer to 2010.

Share of global environmental footprints caused by different household consumption categories The graph shows the share of direct and indirect environmental pressures (footprints) caused by EU-27 household consumption expenditure on different household consumption categories. The household consumption categories are developed from the Classification of Individual Consumption According to Purpose (COICOP) single digit categories. COICOP one-digit includes12 broad categories of consumption. 3 pairs of COICOP categories (CP01& CP02; CP06 & CP10; CP07 & CP08) have been merged to give 9 categories in total. Shares are shown for 6 different environmental pressure types: GHGs, acidifying air pollutant emissions, tropospheric ozone precursors, material use, land and water.

Resource efficiency Resource efficiency is essential if we want to decouple economic development from environmental degradation. Earth's resources are limited and their extraction generates environmental and climate impacts: using them more efficiently helps minimising these impacts. In that way, resource efficiency is one of the core elements necessary to create a more circular, greener economy in Europe as well as more sustainable production and consumption patterns.

Resource efficiency Resource efficiency is essential if we aim to produce more from less input, use resources in a sustainable way, and manage them more efficiently throughout their life cycle. Resource efficiency is one of the core elements necessary to create a green economy in Europe and further afield, alongside waste prevention and recycling efforts, and more sustainable production and consumption patterns.
