The circular economyprovides a solution.

Our carbon and material footprint are two side of the came coin.

Paulik (2014), G.P Peters (2008), UNEP IRP. This estimate varies between different sources. According to S. Paulik (2014) “emissions embodied in international trade change the footprint of many countries by 30% or more”. According to G.P.Peters (2008) “22% of global CO2 emissions are embodied in international trade”
21% of the 84 Gt of resources which we extract are the fossil fuels which contribute to climate change.
67% of global greenhouse gas emissions are related to material management.
20% to 30% of a nation’s carbon footprint typically lies in the embedded emissions of the products and materials which crosses its borders.

We need to incentivise the mitigation potential of Scope 3 emissions.
EU territorial emissions are on track for a 20% reduction by 2020, but consumption-based emissions increased with 11%.

Finding systematic mitigation options requires mapping the full metabolism of a jurisdiction, industry or industrial cluster.

After mapping out resource flows, and growth ambitions we identify with stakeholders where material value is lost, and assets are underused.

From there, we identify promising circular economy opportunities like closing the loop in agriculture to reduce emissions from fertiliser production and organic waste.

From To
The circular economy creates new opportunities for the design of the Paris Agreement and for countries to
increase mitigation ambition.
Include options like substituting carbon-intensive materials, optimising resource and asset use
Article 6 to facilitate international cooperation and develop low-carbon value chains
Consumption-based accounting and metabolic approaches to identify mitigation opportunities
Territorial IPCC carbon accounting to determine our global carbon footprint
Focus on energy efficiency, renewable and deforestation
Article 6 inspired by CDM and offsetting

Efficient production of products Optimised use of products
Focus on value chains (scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions)
Focus on a company, city or country(scope 1 and 2 emissions)
