This indicator presents greenhouse gas emissions of all production activities undertaken in the EU economy. Notably, this indicator includes emissions from international air transport undertaken by EU resident airlines and excludes emissions by private households.

The indicator is measured in kilograms of CO2-equivalents per capita.

This indicator provides the ratio of imports (IMP) over direct material inputs (DMI) in percentage. The term 'material import dependency' shows the extent to which an economy relies upon imports in order to meet its material needs. Material import dependency cannot be negative or higher than 100%. Values equal to 100% indicate that there are no domestic extractions during the reference year.
