The case study details France's commitment to integrating circular economy practices into its logistics and postal sectors as part of its broader sustainability goals.
These case studies demonstrate how corporate buyers have effectively embedded sustainability in their procurement processes to improve resource efficiency and reduce GHG emissions.
In an effort to better understand the interactions between economic activity and the environment, this report computes the CO2 emissions caused by French domestic demand in 2005, taking into account both the national productive system as well as any activities abroad, such as imports. The aggregate figure calculated amounts to just over 550 million tonnes (9 tonnes per year per inhabitant). This number is then broken down to show that 75 percent of these emissions are produced by household consumption expenditure, mainly on housing, transport, and food; 10 percent are produced by general government consumer expenditure; and 15 percent by investment.
This case study contributes to the incorporation of the concept of ecosystem services on the ground in concrete operational decision-making contexts. It does so by testing the use of open-source data and free tools as well as the adoption of a short-term participatory process, in the context of a project in the urban metropolitan area of Bordeaux, France.
This case study analyses multiple ecosystem services provided by the landscape of the Urban Community of Bordeaux, France, between 1990 and 2006 as a result of land use and cover change (LUCC).
This case study summarizes the results of a review of the policy-related users and uses of the environmental accounts compiled in a select group of developed countries.
