Total greenhouse gas emissions associated with a product, organisation or population, including indirect upstream and downstream emissions. At national level it includes imported emissions, unlike the territorial inventory; for a company it corresponds to its scopes 1, 2 and 3. It is expressed in tonnes of CO₂e.
