Intro -- Colophon -- Contents -- Summary -- Summary of the key messages -- Response to key questions -- What are the data requirements and possibilities? -- How to use and interpret such estimates and calculations? -- With what degree of certainty and reliability? -- With what validity for illuminating critical environmental goals, targets and boundaries? -- What are the differences between environmental footprint for carbon dioxide emissions and land, water, energy and material use? -- What is the significance for policy of differences between renewable and non-renewable resources, and between local resources and issues (e.g., water) and global (e.g., carbon)? -- The need for advice and recommendations on how and where to differentiate between different fractions and subcategories of environmental footprints, particularly of materials (fossil fuels, biomass, aggregates, and minerals) and water (green, blue, and grey) -- To what extent, and for which purposes, can footprint methodology be used in policy formulation, and what are the main limitations and barriers for such use? -- How can footprint indicators best be further developed to improve their level of certainty for these purposes? -- Preface -- 1.
