The figure shows the weighted impacts from the entire EU consumption over time, indexed to 2010. The EU consumption footprint is shown as a single indexed score (2010=100) and is broken down according to the impact categories of the Environmental Footprint (EF) method that make the most significant contribution to the consumption footprint - ‘climate change’, ‘resource use, fossil’ and ‘particulate matter’ - and other EF impact categories.
