Implementing the material footprint to measure progress towards Sustainable Development Goals 8 and 12

Manfred Lenzen et al.

Summary: Despite the lack of comprehensive reporting facilities on countries' material footprints, this study presents a new research platform that provides detailed global material footprint accounts. The material footprint indicator is crucial for measuring environmental pressure and progress towards Sustainable Development Goals, highlighting the need for decoupling economic growth from resource use.

Socioeconomic drivers of China's resource efficiency improvement: A structural decomposition analysis for 1997-2017

Heming Wang et al.

Summary: This study analyzes the drivers of China's resource intensity changes and finds that China's total resource intensity has decreased by 20% in the past 20 years. The direct distribution effect is the main contributor to the decline, while input structure poses the biggest obstacle. The construction sector has the highest resource intensity.

Linking SDG 7 to assess the renewable energy footprint of nations by 2030

Jianjian He et al.

Summary: The study establishes an FDS framework based on a global MRIO model to investigate the renewable energy footprint of 189 global economies and project national renewable energy footprint by 2030. It finds substantial variations in renewable energy footprints between nations and identifies different factors influencing the footprint.

Revisiting metal footprints of nations with a reserve-side scarcity indicator

Qiumeng Zhong et al.

Summary: This study quantified the global scarcity-weighted metal footprints for 13 kinds of metals using a reserve-based scarcity indicator and an environmentally-extended multi-regional input-output model. The results showed that the reserve-based scarcity indicator revealed metal scarcity risks for nations with small reserves and highlighted overestimated scarcity-weighted footprints for nations with large metal reserves.

Different Material Footprint Trends between China and the World in 2007-2012 Explained by Construction- and Manufacturing-associated Investment

Meng Jiang et al.

Summary: Economic prosperity is crucial for human development, but it often leads to environmental degradation through material extraction. To achieve sustainable growth, it is important to understand the primary drivers of a country's material footprint. By examining China's material footprint, it was found that investment, particularly in construction and manufacturing, played a significant role in driving material use.

Water, energy and land insecurity in global supply chains

Oliver Taherzadeh et al.

Summary: National consumption is met by domestic production and international trade, exerting pressure on natural resources globally. The connection between resource use, potential risks, and global supply chains highlights the need for better management of global resource insecurity. Countries and sectors are highly exposed to over-exploited, insecure, and degraded resources, primarily through international trade.

Unextractable fossil fuels in a 1.5 °C world

Dan Welsby et al.

Summary: Parties to the 2015 Paris Agreement have pledged to limit global warming to below 2 degrees Celsius, but a sharp decline in fossil fuel use is required to keep the temperature increase below 1.5 degrees Celsius. A global energy systems model shows that by 2050, 60% of oil and fossil methane gas, and 90% of coal must remain unextracted to stay within a 1.5 degrees Celsius carbon budget.
