5. Depending on what is included in the footprint, it can be seen as being even higher. The WWF et al. (2006) (“Counting Consumption: CO₂ Emissions, Material Flows and Ecological Footprint of the UK by Region and Devolved Country”) calculate the ecological footprint of the Southeast population as approximately 6.3 gha/cap (which is seen as the highest in the UK) with food and agriculture 1.14 gha/cap, transport 1.26 gha/cap, and domestic energy and construction 1.3 gha/cap. (This equates to twenty-five times the actual land area.)
