Resilience and malleability
The world faces multiple crises and disruptions, such as climate impacts, pandemics, geopolitical tension and competition, conflicts, and wars. Socio-metabolic research (SMR), the study of stocks and flows of materials and energy associated with socioeconomic activities, is not well equipped to address these challenges. SMR methods are predominantly descriptive, static or linear. They treat disruptions as exogenous and are ill-equipped to capture…
Assessing mining‐related land footprints of global steel use with a global physical input–output model
The production of iron and steel poses numerous sustainability challenges, including the often‐overlooked environmental impact of iron ore mining through its land use. Although the global area affected is small, iron ore mining involves intensive land exploitation, with sites typically located far from steel users, creating a disconnect between impacts and beneficiaries. This study overcomes this disconnect by applying a consumption‐based footpri…
Global material flows and resource productivity
Accurate assessments of global primary material extraction, trade of primary materials and products, material use, waste, and emissions support the development of policies that facilitate the decoupling of economic activity, natural resource use, and related environmental impacts. Here, we quantify all crucial aspects of global and country‐by‐country material requirements needed to fuel economic activities, covering both territorial‐ and demand‐b…
Polarizing and equalizing trends in international trade and Sustainable Development Goals
The influence of international trade on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals is multi-faceted. International trade can either promote or hinder progress, thus directly impacting people, economies and livelihoods. Here we explore the relevance of consumption-based proxies, which capture global demand for goods and services, to assess progress towards Sustainable Development Goals. We link these proxies to environmental and social issue…
Implementing the material footprint to measure progress towards Sustainable Development Goals 8 and 12
Surge in global metal mining threatens vulnerable ecosystems
Mining activities induce profound changes to societies and the environment they inhabit. With global extraction of metal ores doubling over the past two decades, pressures related to mining have dramatically increased. In this paper, we explore where growing global metal extraction has particularly taken effect. Using fine-grain data, we investigate the spatial and temporal distribution of mining of nine metal ores (bauxite, copper, gold, iron, l…
Supply versus use designs of environmental extensions in input–output analysis
Input–output analysis is one of the central methodological pillars of industrial ecology. However, the literature that discusses different structures of environmental extensions (EEs), that is, the scope of physical flows and their attribution to sectors in the monetary input–output table (MIOT), remains fragmented. This article investigates the conceptual and empirical implications of applying two different but frequently used designs of EEs, us…
From Satellite to Supply Chain
Global patterns of ecologically unequal exchange
The impacts of data deviations between MRIO models on material footprints
In various international policy processes such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals, an urgent demand for robust consumption‐based indicators of material flows, or material footprints (MFs), has emerged over the past years. Yet, MFs for national economies diverge when calculated with different Global Multiregional Input–Output (GMRIO) databases, constituting a significant barrier to a broad policy uptake of these indicators. The objective of t…
Quantifying the global cropland footprint of the European Union’s non-food bioeconomy
A rapidly growing share of global agricultural areas is devoted to the production of biomass for non-food purposes. The expanding non-food bioeconomy can have far-reaching social and ecological implications; yet, the non-food sector has attained little attention in land footprint studies. This paper provides the first assessment of the global cropland footprint of non-food products of the European Union (EU), a globally important region regarding…
Exiobase 3
Environmentally extended multiregional input‐output (EE MRIO) tables have emerged as a key framework to provide a comprehensive description of the global economy and analyze its effects on the environment. Of the available EE MRIO databases, EXIOBASE stands out as a database compatible with the System of Environmental‐Economic Accounting (SEEA) with a high sectorial detail matched with multiple social and environmental satellite accounts. In this…
Growth in Environmental Footprints and Environmental Impacts Embodied in Trade
Most countries show a relative decoupling of economic growth from domestic resource use, implying increased resource efficiency. However, international trade facilitates the exchange of products between regions with disparate resource productivity. Hence, for an understanding of resource efficiency from a consumption perspective that takes into account the impacts in the upstream supply chains, there is a need to assess the environmental pressure…
Recent Progress in Assessment of Resource Efficiency and Environmental Impacts Embodied in Trade
This paper serves as an introduction to this special issue on the use of multiregional input‐output modeling in assessments of natural resource use and resource use efficiency. Due to globalization, growth in trade has outpaced growth in global gross domestic product (GDP). As a consequence, impacts of consumption of a country increasingly take place abroad. Various methods have been developed to perform so‐called footprint analyses. We argue tha…
Global Material Flows and Resource Productivity
The international industrial ecology (IE) research community and United Nations (UN) Environment have, for the first time, agreed on an authoritative and comprehensive data set for global material extraction and trade covering 40 years of global economic activity and natural resource use. This new data set is becoming the standard information source for decision making at the UN in the context of the post‐2015 development agenda, which acknowledg…
Relevance of Global Multi Regional Input Output Databases for Global Environmental Policy
In the era of globalization, supply chains are increasingly organized at the international level, thus disconnecting the location of production from final consumption. Consumption therefore has become a major, geographically distant driver of various local environmental and social impacts in countries, In a world that is ever more connected via trade, GMRIOs are crucial instruments to understand not only how value chains drive the creation of add…
Towards Robust, Authoritative Assessments of Environmental Impacts Embodied in Trade
Global multiregional input‐output databases (GMRIOs) became the standard tool for tracking environmental impacts through global supply chains. To date, several GMRIOs are available, but the numerical results differ. This paper considers how GMRIOs can be made more robust and authoritative. We show that GMRIOs need detail in environmentally relevant sectors. On the basis of a review of earlier work, we conclude that the highest uncertainty in foot…

Global Sustainability Accounting—Developing Exiobase for Multi-Regional Footprint Analysis
Measuring progress towards sustainable development requires appropriate frameworks and databases. The System of Environmental-Economic Accounts (SEEA) is undergoing continuous refinement with these objectives in mind. In SEEA, there is a need for databases to encompass the global dimension of societal metabolism. In this paper, we focus on the latest effort to construct a global multi-regional input−output database (EXIOBASE) with a focus on envi…

Modelling scenarios towards a sustainable use of natural resources in Europe
Applying physical input–output analysis to estimate land appropriation (ecological footprints) of international trade activities
North-South Trade and the Distribution of Environmental Goods and Burdens
In the last 20 years, the implications of international trade for environmental distribution between North and South gained increasing attention in the debate on sustainable development. In this article, the authors take a biophysical perspective to analyze the distribution of environmental goods versus environmental burdens in North-South trade relations. Studies based on physical accounting are particularly suitable to elucidate environmental c…
Trade, Materials Flows, and Economic Development in the South
Materials flow analysis (MFA) is internationally recognized as a key tool to assess the biophysical metabolism of societies and to provide aggregated indicators for environmental pressures of human activities. Economy‐wide MFAs have been compiled for a number of Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries, but so far very few studies exist for countries in the South. In this article, the first materials‐flow‐based indic…

Material Flows in Latin America
In this article we compare the resource flows of Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, and Peru between 1980 and 2000. Our objective is to analyze the structure of social metabolism of extractive countries and the consequences of the neoliberal economic structural reforms on the use of natural resources. In two decades, the domestic extraction of materials increased considerably in the four countries, mainly due to the mining sector in Chile and Peru, biomass …
Modelling scenarios towards a sustainable use of natural resources in Europe
The Raw Material Equivalents of International Trade
This article aims at estimating the raw material equivalents (RMEs)—the upstream used material flows required along the production chain—of imports and exports for some Latin American countries: Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, and Mexico. Furthermore, the United States is included in the analysis as a reference for a high‐income economy. The RME concept and the empirical evidence are articulated by use of an input−output methodology. Results ar…

Integrating Ecological, Carbon and Water footprint into a “Footprint Family” of indicators
Carbon and Materials Embodied in the International Trade of Emerging Economies
Production in emerging economies, such as Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, and Argentina (BRICSA), increased substantially over the past two decades. This is, on the one hand, due to growing domestic demand within these countries, and, on the other hand, due to a deepened international division of work. Global trade linkages have become denser and production chains are no longer restricted to only one or two countries. The volume of in…
