**Environmental Impacts vignette**

[antaldaniel]

Review and extend the vignette Environmental Impacts in a way that it can be references in a scientific publication.

• Look for any published SIOT based environemntal or economic impact analysis.
• The current examples (in the other vignettes) are based on published but not peer-reviweed examples
• Though the Eurostat manual may have the authority of being peer-reviewed.

[antagomir]

Just to check: do you mean one or both of these:

1. an example from peer-reviewed literature should be identified, reproduced, and added to this vignette; and/or
2. the current material in the vignette should be generally polished so that it will work better as an example in a new manuscript

Anything else?

The project has three principal objectives:(a)to synthesize and further develop estimates of the external costs of key environmental impacts for Europe;(b)to develop an EE IO framework for the EU-27 in a global context, including as many of these estimates as possible, to allow for the estimation of environmental impacts (expressed as LCA themes, material requirement indicators, ecological footprints or external costs) of the activities of different economic sectors, final consumption activities and resource consumption;(c)to apply the results of the work to external costs and EE I–O for illustrative policy questions.}

keywords = {Input–output analysis, Life cycle assessment, Energy consumptions, Environmental impacts, Sustainable production and consumption},
abstract = {Promoting sustainable consumption and production patterns is a key challenge for the future, in order to use the Earth resources efficiently, to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions, and to decouple the economic growth from the environmental degradation. New or customized methods have to be applied to support decisions makers in the choice of environmental-friendly products, and to select policy priorities and sustainable strategies. A modified input–output model can aid to analyse the relationships among economic growth, energy consumptions and pollutants, in order to assess the energy and environmental impacts due to the actual production and consumption patterns. The following paper introduces an energy and environmental extended input–output model and combines it with the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology. The authors apply this model to the Italian context in order to assess the energy and environmental impacts related to the consumptions of the Italian households in the period 1999–2006 and to identify the economic sectors involving the highest impacts. The paper represents one of the first Italian studies aimed at identifying those national economic sectors and final goods and services to be assumed prior in the definition of sustainable production and consumption strategies. Results show that about the 70% of the total energy, needed to meet the household final demand of products, is consumed by the productive sectors. In particular tertiary, “electricity, gas and vapour”, road transports and “food and beverage” sectors are the most contributors, accounting for about 75%. Further, the environmental impact analysis associated to Italian households consumptions is carried out, starting from three different data sources The results point out that, to include emissions arising both from energy and non-energy sources, in the assessment of environmental impacts is of paramount importance to obtain reliable simulations of the link between households consumptions and energy and environmental performances.}

keywords = {Circular economy, Interventions, EEIOA, Software, Policy, Scenarios},
abstract = {A circular economy is an industrial system that is restorative or regenerative by intention or design. During the last decade, the circular economy became an attractive paradigm to increase global welfare while minimizing the environmental impacts of economic activities. Although several studies concerning the potential benefits and drawbacks of policies that implement the new paradigm have been performed, there is currently no standardized theoretical model or software to execute such assessment. In order to fill this gap, in the present paper we show how to perform these analyses using Environmentally Extended Input-Output Analysis. We also describe a python package (pycirk) for modeling Circular Economy scenarios in the context of the Environmentally Extended Multi-Regional Input-Output database EXIOBASE V3.3, for the year 2011. We exemplify the methods and software through a what-if zero-cost case study on two circular economy strategies (Resource Efficiency and Product Lifetime Extension), four environmental pressures and two socio-economic factors.}
