Calculating footprints• You know final consumption expenditure per

product

• Since you have all economic relations, youcan calculate added value by sector

• 10 Euro of coffee =

• 5 Euro for Starbucks

• 3 Euro for the roaster

• 1 Euro for transport

• 0,50 Euro for the farmer in Costa Rica

• 0,50 Euro inputs to the farm

• You also know emissions / Euro / sector =>simple multiplication gives you emissions +resource use in the chain

From there you can build all indicators needed

How to realise• Environmental data per economic sector

• Resource extraction (FAO, USGS, IEA)

• Land use, water use (Corinair, FAO)

• Emissions => better allocated by sector

• => harmonization via UNEP IPR, IPCC,EEA, EUROSTAT desirable

• Economic Input-output data by country linkedvia trade

• Europe (EUROSTAT):

• Supply and use tables provided;maybe more detail in future

• ‘Valuation layers’ Use table missing,best mandatory transfer

• World: support for UN Statistical division

• At some point physical input-output = ultimateresource efficiency per sector

Target setting based onconsumption-based indicators

Material: Different scenarios for EU’s resource productivity measured in

GDP/RMC (EC 2014)

Water: Quantifying the EU’s contribution to global water stress

Land: Suggestion of zero net imports of embodied land

GHG emissions: Target discussions mainly for the territorial level

Conclusions

In order to detect trade-offs and design sound policies, resourceuse and efficiency have to be measured and the for main categoriesof natural resources taken into account.

Only including indirect flows provides the complete picture andensures robustness of European (resource) policies.

Methodologies are at hand or in development to be applied on thenational as well as global level for the four main categories.

Currently, the topic of resource efficiency is at risk of being skippedcompletely by the EC. But instead further developments have to besupported to improve data availability and applicability.

The EP should actively push the further development of theresource efficiency agenda.

Roadmap to a resource efficient Europe• Three time lines

• long term 2050 vision• milestones for 2020• actions to be taken now

• Three action lines• Shifting to a green, circular economy• Safeguarding natural capital• Tackling key sectors: food, buildings, mobility

• A shared responsibility of the EU and MS level• Governance and monitoring under Europe 2020

Gaps – both in assessment and policy

• Strategic focus (critical materials from an environmental angle)

• Bio-mass and impact on natural environment

• Impacts on human well-being

• Systems approach (food, water, energy, housing)
