Abstract

La mayoría de las estadísticas, análisis y políticas sobre presiones ambientales adoptan una perspectiva territorial. De acuerdo con esta, las presiones ambientales se asignan al país (región o ciudad) en el que se generan. Sin embargo, la economía global se caracteriza por flujos masivos de mercancías entre diferentes territorios. Por ello, es importante analizar las presiones ambientales causadas por las demandas internas de un país, independientemente de dónde estas tengan lugar. Esta perspectiva se conoce como perspectiva “basada en el consumo” y se relaciona con el concepto de huella ambiental. En este artículo se ven algunos ejemplos de esta doble perspectiva, tanto en un caso de un problema global, como es el de las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero, como en otros indicadores ambientales de problemas más locales o regionales. Las importantes diferencias entre los indicadores obtenidos con ambas perspectivas refuerzan la necesidad de tener en cuenta la perspectiva “basada en el consumo” para tener una mejor información de las diferentes responsabilidades en los diferentes problemas ambientales.
