Historical Document Notice

This document is preserved as part of NaturismRE's original CO₂ Impact Series and government engagement record. It reflects the assumptions, modelling, estimates, and terminology used at the time of preparation. More recent NRE Health Institute material may refine, update, or replace parts of this projection.

Context and Methodology

This report is part of NaturismRE’s CO₂ Impact Series, estimating the measurable ecological benefits of widespread naturism and nudism adoption. Figures are based on the assumption that if 60% of the developed world population adopted naturism/nudism, it would eliminate CO₂ emissions equivalent to removing 250 million cars from the road.

This figure is not speculative — it is derived from sector-based environmental data:

  • The fashion, textile, and cosmetic industries produce over 2.1 billion metric tons of CO₂ annually.
  • A 60% adoption of naturism/nudism could reduce demand by at least 50%, avoiding approximately 1.1–1.2 billion tons of CO₂ annually.
  • This is equivalent to 250 million cars × 4.6 tons/car/year = 1.15 billion tons/year.

The calculations below apply Andorra’s proportional share based on population and its estimated national emissions.

National Profile – Andorra

Population ~77,000
Estimated National CO₂ Emissions ~600,000 metric tons/year
Target Carbon neutrality by 2050

Naturism / Nudism Adoption – 60% Scenario

Participants ~46,200

60% of population

Car Equivalent Removed ≈ 20,263
CO₂ Saved Annually ≈ 93,211 metric tons
5-Year Cumulative CO₂ Saved ≈ 466,055 metric tons
National Emissions Offset ≈ 15.5% annually

Slutsats

Widespread adoption of naturism and nudism in Andorra could eliminate more than 15% of the nation’s total carbon footprint every year — without infrastructure investment, policy subsidies, or industrial overhaul.

This model presents naturism not as a lifestyle alone, but as a measurable, scalable climate solution.
