Metadados da publicação
The study describes and tests an analytical framework to anticipate the impacts of Circular Economy (CE) measures on the mitigation of, and on adaptation to, climate change. The analytical framework combines the description of the CE measure at the scale of a single functional unit in a Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) compliant Life-Cycle Analysis with the scaling up of that measure to the level of the economic sector, in an Environmentally-Extended Input-Output Model of Computed General Equilibrium. The impacts in terms of Greenhouse Gases (GHG) emissions and of water and land use are compared over the years 2020-2050 to a baseline scenario in which decarbonisation of the economy is implemented. The analytical framework is provided as a separate spreadsheet file. CE measures are classified according to their macro-economic impact. The analytical framework is described both theoretically and in practice. The test scenarios maximise the diversity of CE measures and of sectors. The test results are provided for mitigation of and adaptation to climate change. Abatement costs are computed. The analytical framework is suitable for mitigation policies but requires results at finer level of geographic location to be fully suitable for adaptation.
