SEI research experts and representatives from the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency and Swedish municipalities will explore how consumption-based emissions are distributed across sectors and regions in Sweden.
Two launch events – one in English and one in Swedish – will take place online, broadcast live from SEI Headquarters in Stockholm.
SEI’s Consumption Compass 2.0 estimates Swedes’ consumption-based emissions across nearly 110 different consumption categories and enables comparisons at various geographic levels: municipalities, regions, and Sweden’s Demographic Statistical Areas.
Developed in close collaboration with the municipalities of Kalmar and Umeå, this updated version builds on the original Consumption Compass launched in 2022.
Now fully web-integrated, the interactive tool features a time series illustrating how consumption-based emissions have evolved from 2019 to 2023. The tool is free to use and openly accessible, funded by Formas, the Swedish Research Council for Sustainable Development.
Swedish session: 10:00–11:45 CEST
English session: 15:00–16:45 CEST
The event will be moderated by Karin André and Ylva Rylander, Communications and Impact Officer, SEI.

SEI Headquarters
The Consumption Compass 2.0 is led by SEI, in collaboration with the municipalities of Umeå and Kalmar, and supported by data from InsightOne.
The project is financed by Formas, the Swedish Research Council for Sustainable Development.
Tool / SEI's Consumption Compass is a unique tool, tracking greenhouse gas emissions from households in Sweden for over 100 consumption categories.
Project / Konsumtionskompassen är ett projekt samt ett innovativt verktyg som tydliggör utsläppen av växthusgaser från konsumtion i Sverige.
Perspective / To lower Sweden's individual footprint to less than 1 metric ton, transition policies need to consider variations across municipalities and those most at risk.
Feature / SEI is now developing the Consumption Compass for Swedish municipalities to address their consumption-based emissions.
Past event / SEI lanserar nu Konsumtionskompassen som illustrerar och analyserar klimatpåverkan på kommunal nivå från hushållens konsumtion.
