A socio-economically disaggregated approach to accounting for the resource use and emissions attributable to UK households from the consumption perspective

The starting assumption in this thesis is that all resource use and associated emissions are ultimately driven by consumption, and that fundamental changes in the way society consumes are necessary. Policies aimed at shifting consumer behaviour must be based on a robust evidence-base, and the Surrey Environmental Lifestyle MApping (SELMA) framework has been developed to contribute to this. SELMA takes the consumption perspective, and at its core is an Environmental Input-Output model which attributes all resource use and associated emissions that arise along supply chains to final consumers.
