‘Department for the Environment, Food, & Rural Affairs (DEFRA)’

We are responsible for improving and protecting the environment. We aim to grow a green economy and sustain thriving rural communities. We also support our world-leading food, farming and fishing industries.

This page collects articles/reports from this organization cited across the FRAW site, where possible providing an ‘open’ link to access it. The citation for each article/report also lists the content of the FRAW site which references that work, with links directly to the paragraph citing it. This listing uses the same format as the FRAW Subject Index – and a complete table of the abbreviations used in the listing can be found on the main index page. Note, paywalled links are shown in red, and ‘open’ links are shown in blue.

Development of an Embedded Carbon Emissions Indicator – Producing a Time Series of Input-Output Tables and Embedded Carbon Dioxide Emissions for the UK by Using a MRIO Data Optimisation System

In 2005, Defra commissioned the Stockholm Environment Institute to identify the most appropriate approach to constructing an indicator for emissions embedded in trade flows to and from the UK. One of the conclusions from that study was that, in order to derive reliable and robust estimates for embedded emissions, it is important to explicitly consider the production efficiency and emissions intensity of a number of trading countries and world regions in an international trade model, which is globally closed and sectorally deeply disaggregated.

UK Consumption Emissions by Sector and Origin

This report provides an analysis of where Greenhouse Gas emissions associated with UK consumption occur by both sector and country. To undertake this task a “Multi-Regional Environmentally extended input-output analysis” (MREEIOA) is employed to allocate environmental pressures (e.g. emissions of greenhouse gases) associated with production and supply chain processes to groups of finished products by means of inter-industry economic transactions. The majority of the data is derived from the “Global Trade Analysis Project” and forms part of the outputs from a European 7th Framework project entitled, “OPEN-EU”.
