碳足迹和隐含碳具有强大的方法论基础，为政策制定提供了宝贵的投入。需要鼓励甚至规范利用现有知识广泛使用碳足迹。在产品层面，碳足迹可以让消费者塑造自己的气候友好型行为，并帮助政府设计不会给予错误激励的政策。企业可以利用碳足迹来减少对碳价格的影响，或者强调他们已经采取的积极行动。城市和地区可以利用碳足迹来实施有助于实现国家总体目标的地方政策。国家碳足迹可以帮助设计公平有效的气候协议，避免将问题转移到其他行政区域。进一步的进展可以在物理碳循环、排放驱动因素和各种尺度的政策之间提供强有力的跨学科联系。
Carbon footprints and embodied carbon have a strong methodological foundation and provide valuable input into policy formation. The widespread use of carbon footprints using existing knowledge needs to be encouraged and even regulated. At the product level, carbon footprints can empower consumers to shape their own climate friendly behaviour and help governments design policies that do not give the wrong incentives. Companies can use carbon footprints to reduce exposure to carbon prices or highlight the positive actions they have taken. Cities and regions can use carbon footprints to implement local policies that help meet overarching national objectives. National carbon footprints can help design equitable and efficient climate agreements that avoid shifting problems to other administrative territories. Further advances can provide strong interdisciplinary links between the physical carbon-cycle, emission drivers, and policy at a variety of scales.
