UNEP MFA

In this project the research group Sustainable Resource Use collaborates with partner institutions in Germany and Australia to set up a global database on worldwide material extraction. The data compilation builds on the principles of economy-wide material flow analysis (EW-MFA). The dataset comprises data for all countries of the world and the years 1990-2010. In the second part of the project, on the basis of the dataset a UNEP report on global resource sue and efficiency will be compiled.
