Description
Return territorial+imports-exports and imports-exports.
Population and eligibility summaries depend on who enters the numerator and denominator. Weighted shares can differ from unweighted averages, and source coverage is a different property from representativeness or outcome quality.
Return territorial+imports-exports and imports-exports.
When to use this tool
Use Global Emission Territorial Consumption Gap when you need a population count or share on a declared inclusion basis.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter territorial, embodiedImports, embodiedExports. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read consumptionBased, netImportedEmissions. Use the output convention below.
Require nonnegative territorial, embodiedImports, and embodiedExports. Return territorial+imports-exports and imports-exports.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| territorial | Territorial | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| embodiedImports | Embodied Imports | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| embodiedExports | Embodied Exports | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| consumptionBased | Consumption Based | Required. Finite number. |
| netImportedEmissions | Net Imported Emissions | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- All quantities share an emissions unit, coverage, and period; consumptionBased can be negative and no input-output inventory, double counting, or actual emissions attribution is verified.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Reconcile the source population and weighting scheme before comparison. Use a complete statistical analysis when sampling uncertainty, demographic interpretation, or causal explanation matters.
