Trade is a key building block of the EU, fostering job opportunities, economic growth, and enhanced welfare. At the same time, unsustainable trade and consumption patterns are one of the primary drivers behind the sustained high levels of greenhouse gas emissions at the global level. This report sheds light on the intricate relationship between consumption, trade, and emissions in the EU and underscores the critical role of the EU in leading the global fight against climate change. The EU has long prioritized mitigating territorial greenhouse gas emissions and most member states have clear ambitions and targets in place. Consumption-based emissions (CBEs) are a significant challenge to the EU’s efforts to combat climate change and a significant contributor to the region’s overall carbon footprint. However, by addressing CBEs, the EU can emerge as a global leader in climate action and set an example for other nations to follow. This study delves into the complexities of CBEs within the EU, focusing on the environmental impact of EU consumption. Through analysing the current state of CBEs and trade within and beyond the EU, assessing existing policy frameworks, and in-depth case studies of three member states, this report offers valuable insights and recommendations to enhance the EU’s efforts to mitigate its CBEs.
