Beschreibung

The overall objective of FINEPRINT was to develop and apply new methods for ffine-scale assessments of the environmental impacts of resource extraction and for tracking material flows along global supply chains.
To achieve this, FINEPRINT
(1) investigated the spatial distribution of raw material extraction on a high level of geographical detail for a wide range of raw materials;
(2) analysed the relation between raw material extraction and related environmental impacts, including issues such as deforestation and water scarcity;
(3) created physical MRIO models on the national level for a range of raw materials and related products, which are downscaled to the sub-national level; and
(4) performed fine-scale assessments of the global material footprint of countries and the related environmental impacts.
