Assessing environmental sustainability: building « carbon footprint » accounts
› Dual labelling at macro level for every aggregate of SUT
– Which productive activities emit CO2 in France and in what proportion?
– What quantities of CO2 emitted abroad via our imports?
– What quantities of CO2 emissions for final consumption, investment, exports?
– Is carbon footprint of final consumption evenly distributed among the French population?

› HH account :
An indispensable account, built up directly at a macro level by way of « mirroring », thanks to the central NA framework…
…that says however nothing about the heterogeneity of individual situations
› Bridging micro and macro approaches, on the basis of HH surveys
First results (for France)› HH account by category - standard of living, household composition,
employment status, age of the head of household - in 2003 : income, final consumption expenditure, actual final consumption
› Bridging HH consumption expenditures by groups and carbon footprint calculations
Breaking down the households’ account by groups
