Home - Summary of Eco-Region NW

Overall resource flows and impacts of the region

State of the region

The Eco-Region NW research has focused on 3 main indicators of environmental performance in production and consumption:

  • CO2 emissions, as the largest cause of climate change
  • Material flow and mass balance
  • Eco-footprint, as the overall measure of impact

These are each calculated in the REAP system for the UK, and then allocated to regions by their profile of production and consumption.
