The graph shows the share of direct and indirect environmental pressures (footprints) caused by EU-27 household consumption expenditure on different household consumption categories. The household consumption categories are developed from the Classification of Individual Consumption According to Purpose (COICOP) single digit categories. COICOP one-digit includes12 broad categories of consumption. 3 pairs of COICOP categories (CP01& CP02; CP06 & CP10; CP07 & CP08) have been merged to give 9 categories in total. Shares are shown for 6 different environmental pressure types: GHGs, acidifying air pollutant emissions, tropospheric ozone precursors, material use, land and water.

Note:
The raw data has been taken from a JRC report which has carried out environmentally extended input output analysis on the data included in the World Input Output Database looking at the direct and indirect global environmental pressures caused by household consumption expenditure. The shares are split into 9 consumption categories as defined by JRC (developed from COICOP 1 digit) for EU-27 as a block have been downloaded directly from JRC calculations. No further processing has been carried out on the data.
