The European Commission has developed a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)-based framework to monitor the evolution of the overall environmental footprint of EU production and consumption and compare the footprint against planetary boundaries. The Domestic Footprint and Consumption Footprint indicators respond to key challenges posed by the need of a systemic and holistic assessment of transition towards sustainability and represent a key set of indicators to support the ambitions of the European Green Deal, such as circular economy (Circular Economy Action Plan), zero pollution (Zero Pollution Action Plan), sustainable food production (Farm to Fork Strategy) and biodiversity conservation (EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030). The Domestic Footprint aims at calculating the impacts due to resource extraction, and emissions in the EU-27 territory in order to monitor the efforts of EU Member States to decouple economic growth and environmental impacts. The Consumption Footprint is a set of 16 LCA-based indicators, aimed at quantifying the environmental impacts of an average EU citizen, based on the consumption of goods in 5 areas (food, mobility, housing, household goods, and appliances).
