a Per capita carbon footprint by consumption categories (stacked bars). Mobility covers direct emissions from private transport and indirect emissions induced by public transport. Buildings encompass direct emissions from residential fossil fuel use and indirect emissions from home electricity and energy services use, construction, and building material use. The other four categories cover indirect emissions from all corresponding upstream emissions (see details in Supplementary Data 1). The added dashed line shows a global annual target of 4.6 t CO2e per capita per year for household carbon footprints in 2020, aimed at limiting climate warming to below 2 degrees. b Household carbon footprint distribution by categories and gases (CO2, CH4, N2O, and F-gases).
