POLICY BRIEF:
Local emission inventories for consumption-based impacts as a base for just and sustainable climate neutral Nordic municipalities

To be able to reduce global emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) effectively and justly the consumption patterns that maintain the high global emission levels need to be recognised. Actions that address consumption are important to ensure a sustainable and just transition to a low-carbon economy. Inventories of consumption-based emissions support such actions, but municipalities need more data and experience to develop and use such inventories in their climate action.
