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.
