Global Metadata
This table provides information on metadata for SDG indicators as defined by the United Nations Statistical Commission. Complete global metadata documentation on all indicators in Goal 8, unless otherwise noted, is provided by the UN Statistics Division.
| SDG Indicator Name | Material footprint, material footprint per capita, and material footprint per GDP |
|---|---|
| SDG Target Addressed | Improve progressively, through 2030, global resource efficiency in consumption and production and endeavour to decouple economic growth from environmental degradation, in accordance with the 10-Year Framework of Programmes on Sustainable Consumption and Production, with developed countries taking the lead. |
| Definition of SDG Indicator | Material footprint (MF) is the attribution of global material extraction to domestic final demand of a country. It is calculated as raw material equivalent of imports (RMEIM) plus domestic extraction (DE) minus raw material equivalents of exports (RMEEX). For the attribution of the primary material needs of final demand a global, multi_regional input_output (MRIO) framework is employed. The attribution method based on I_O analytical tools is described in detail in Wiedmann et al. 2015. It is based on the EORA MRIO framework developed by the University of Sydney, Australia (Lenzen et al. 2013) which is an internationally well_established and the most detailed and reliable MRIO framework available to date. |
