Swedes had the smallest climate footprint in the EU in 2022In 2022, each person in the EU contributed an average of nearly 11 tons of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, accounting for all consumption of goods and services, including imports, according to Eurostat. Swedes had the smallest climate footprint in the EU, with emissions of 8 tons of greenhouse gases per person two years ago, Europaportalen reports. For example, someone purchasing an imported t-shirt is attributed emissions from cotton production, spinning and weaving, dyeing, sewing, packaging, and transport. Even if the garment is produced outside the EU, it is counted as part of the EU's emissions since it was purchased within the Union. (ICE STOCCOLMA)
