Welcome to our Website
The Resources and Energy Analysis Programme (REAP) is research area of the Stockholm Environment Institute and was set up to focus on Sustainable Consumption and Production.
We specialise in carbon and ecological footprinting tools. Visit the REAP Software Pages to find out more.
Our aim is to help local governments, agencies and other organisations understand the footprints of residents in their areas and look at ways to reduce them. Our tools can help to identify and model policies and strategies for reduction.
As SEI is a non-for-profit organisation we aim to provide information, tools and support at minimal costs.
All of our footprint data and reports are made available for free and can be downloaded from the Footprint Data page.
The use of REAP in Scotland has been reviewed by the EPSRC ISSUES Project who look at urban sustainability.
"The Sustainable Urban Environments Programme is an EPSRC funded portfolio of research looking at ways of improving sustainability in the urban environment." (taken from www.urbansustainabilityexchange.org.uk, July 2010)
The full report titled "The Process of Knowledge Transfer from Researcher and Policy Maker to End-User" provides an analysis of the footprinting work done in Scotland and the use of REAP by Scottish Local Authorities. It is available here.

SEI have just released a policy brief on Scotland's Footprint.
Our study has shown that Scotland's carbon footprint has grown by 11 per cent since 1992.
The figure includes greenhouse gases released overseas during the production of goods later consumed in Scotland and so is the most accurate gauge of the country's emissions to date.
While emissions generated in Scotland fell by 13 percent between 1995 and 2004, when trade is taken account, greenhouse gases rose by 11 per cent over the same period.
The full policy brief can be found on SEI's website.
An article has also be published in the Sunday Herald and can be found here.
