Profile

This project aims to estimate consumption-based greenhouse gas emissions across the UK at neighbourhood level longitudinally. Emissions are estimated from expenditure estimates using an environmentally extended multi-regional input-output analysis. Thereafter, spatial and temporal emission patterns can be investigated. This enables an assessment of the impacts of the 2007/08 economic recession, sustainability behaviour change policy, and local infrastructure developments on household carbon emissions. Moreover, relationships between geodemographic factors and greenhouse gas emissions in the UK can be evaluated.

Funding

ESRC 2+2 MSc and PhD via the Centre for Data Analytics and Society
