emissions are typically measured on the basis of ‘production’. This accounting method – which is sometimes referred to as ‘territorial’ emissions – is used when countries report their emissions, and set targets domestically and internationally. In addition to the commonly reported production-based emissions statisticians also calculate ‘consumption-based’ emissions. These emissions are adjusted for trade. To calculate consumption-based emissions, traded goods are tracked across the world, and whenever a good was imported all emissions that were emitted in the production of that good are also imported, and vice versa to subtract all emissions that were emitted in the production of goods that were exported. Consumption-based emissions reflect the consumption and lifestyle choices of a country's citizens. This is measured as the net import-export balance in tons of per year.
