A newly recognised Official Statistic from the UK government integrates our recently published LIFE biodiversity metric to track the environmental impacts of our consumption.
The environmental impact of our consumption habits is becoming more widely understood. This growing interest is reflected in internationally-agreed consumption targets in both the Global Biodiversity Framework and the Sustainable Development Goals. To meet these international objectives and develop effective policies to ensure consumption is sustainable, governments need to understand these environmental impacts, where they are happening, and what is causing them.
