| Short description: |
Defra has commissioned this study to assess recent developments in ecological
footprinting methodologies and to provide a focus on the practical use of ecological
footprinting. This is the Final Report of the study.
The study objectives are:
• to identify, discuss and analyse key developments in ecological footprinting
methodologies since November 2004;
• to consider international ecological footprinting studies, where these can inform
UK policy-makers on developments in ecological footprinting methodologies and
their use in practice;
• to understand how and why ecological footprinting methods have been used in
practice (by governmental, non-governmental organisations and companies), with
a particular focus on their relevance for UK policy-making; and
• to identify how recent and ongoing methodological developments may affect the
use of ecological footprinting for UK policy-making in the future.
