Impact factors beyond GHG: water, land, ecosystem quality (biodiversity), and human health

Spend-based factors for eight environmental impacts beyond greenhouse gases, now open for feedback.

EXIOBASE is widely used for emissions reporting, but its value goes beyond carbon accounting. The underlying database also covers water, land, materials and other environmental pressures. We have extracted a first set of those as spend-based impact factors, in the same ready-to-use format as the emission factors, so they drop into the accounting and reporting workflows already built around them. Reach out for more information.

Blue water consumption, land use, ecosystem quality and human health are open in the Factor Explorer, as world and region-group averages for the latest data year.
