Overall resource flows and impacts of the region
Summary
Warming the world
Total 'consumption' CO2 emissions (i.e. generated from the supply chains involved in all types of consumption) are 11.5 tonnes/cap, slightly lower than the UK average.
This is higher than the 'territorial' emissions of the NW of 10.8 tonnes/cap (i.e. emissions within the NW boundary).
Notably, domestic energy consumption in the NW is responsible for the emission of 1.7 tonnes CO2 per capita, the third highest of all UK regions. This is due to the relative inefficiency of the housing stock.
