Measuring the environmental performance of the EU27 from the Water-Energy-Carbon nexus perspective

This study seeks to estimate the Water-Energy-Carbon (WEC) nexus in the EU27 by using the Environmental Input-Output (EIO) model. The Embodied Water Consumption Coefficients (EWCC), Embodied Energy Consumption Coefficients (EECC) and Embodied CO2 Emission Coefficients (ECEC) are explored. Both the direct and indirect values of the above indicators are investigated. Water efficiency, energy efficiency and CO2 emission index per capita are...
