Test drive the EUREAPA tool
publication date: Jul 12, 2011
The EUREAPA tool has been developed as a result of an extensive process of engagement. It is reaching its final stages of development and has two principal functions; viewing data and creating scenarios. The viewing data function allows users to analyse the wealth of data held within the Footprint Family extended Multi-Regional Input-Output model(FF-MRIO) from a range of perspectives helping them to understand the causes ofenvironmental pressure and identify priorities for policy intervention. Users can compare the results of their country of interest to 44 other countries and regions, including the EU-27 countries, the US,China, Brazil, India and South Africa. Results can be viewed for the three footprint indicators,carbon, ecological and water footprint. Users can also see the contribution of the different parts of these footprints – individual greenhouse gases, six ecological footprint land types and blue green and grey water footprints. The tool’s scenario function allows users to make changes to production and consumption and explore the effect of these changes on the footprint family to investigate the potential impact of policy intervention. An online working demo of the EUREAPA tool and is now available here. |
