Cover Story: Households contribute to global warming with both direct and indirect emissions, with the former associated with the direct use of fossil fuels and the latter with the emissions embodied in purchased goods and services. To assess households’ impact on climate change, we propose a model to estimate households’ expenditure evolution in relationship with the evolution of emission intensity of GDP in EU27. The results suggest that by maintaining the current trends, EU27 will miss the Green Deal target of being NetZero by 2050. Further decarbonization potential embedded in consumer behaviour, alongside improvements in industrial efficiency, should be enabled through the use of the Social Climate Fund, which aims to help vulnerable households and transport users meet the costs of decarbonization.
