| Abstract: | The research and analysis presented in the special issue shows that the same limited number of consumption categories are consistently revealed to be responsible for the largest share of environmental impact. It appears that differences in impact per euro between the product groupings are relatively limited, so it is essential to reduce the life-cycle impacts of products as such, rather than to shift expenditures to less impact-intensive product groupings. Environmentally extended input-output (EEIO) tables probably form, in this field, the most appropriate information support tool for priority setting, prospective assessment of options, scenario analysis, and monitoring. |
