Characterization of Spanish economic sectors from an economic and environmental perspective: Evolution and forecast of greenhouse gas emissions

Carmen Ramos Carvajal, Blanca Moreno

Abstract

The aim of the Kyoto Protocol is to reduce the growth of greenhouse gases emissions. In this context, it is very important to characterize the economic sectors according to environmental indicators to properly design environmental policies; Moreover, it could be advisable to analyze the emissions that directly and indirectly are generated by economic sectors to carry out their production and meet their demand. This paper conducts such environmental characterization and analysis for Spanish industries through an input-output analysis. In addition, we forecast the effects of an increase in consumption on greenhouse gases emissions by using macroeconomic forecasts from 2011 to 2014.
