The indicator is based on data from modelled global trade flows (hybrid MRIO modelling) with a range of environmental data sources that link production to impacts. Results can be broken down by the producer
countries/territories in which the impact is taking place, by the commodities
driving the impact, and consuming countries/regions.
We are continuing to develop the dashboard and
plan for the 2023 Autumn release to have data for 141 consuming
countries/territories (representing ~99% of the world’s populations), with
others grouped into 20 ‘rest of world’ regions. It will also include data for
all deforestation embedded in consumption (not just tropical
deforestation).
