Description
Greenhouse gas footprint indicators are designed to provide policymakers with new insights into the environmental impacts of global production networks and to support policy decisions related to the decarbonisation of manufacturing processes, transitions towards renewable energy sources and cross-border trade adjustments for high-carbon content products.
This session will highlight how the OECD’s Inter-Country Input-Output (ICIO) tables, which account for international production networks, can be used to develop pertinent emissions-related indicators, focusing on the measurement of:
• Downstream Scope 3 emissions
• GHG footprints related to tourism
• GHG footprints of the health sector
The latest set of GHG footprint indicators published by the OECD will also be introduced. Covering the period from 1995 to 2022, this database provides consistent estimates of GHG emissions by industry for 80 economies, based on production, final demand, net exports and imports.
