A Consumption Approach for Emissions Accounting- the REAP Tool and REAP Data for 2006

TThis document has been prepared to support users of the Stockholm Environment Institute's REAP tool. It has been developed to respond to some of the common queries relating to the methodology and the application of the REAP tool. The document groups queries into common themes allowing tool users to find information relevant to their query.

Meeting the UK climate change challenge: The contribution of resource efficiency

This study provides a detailed assessment of the reduction in Greenhouse Gases that could be achieved by implementing a range of resource efficiency strategies in the UK. It demonstrates that resource efficiency has an important role to play and offers a number of "Quick Win" opportunities to achieve emissions reductions.

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.
