SDG 8.4.1. and 12.2.1 Material Footprint (MF) - In tonnes
(numeric)
Data Source:
GANHRI, regional networks' and NHRI (annual) reports, documents, websites; NHRI submissions to regional and international human rights bodies; Other ex-post evaluations on effectiveness.
Additional Information:
SDG indicator 8.4.1 and 12.2.1. has three units of measure, including tonnes, tonnes per capita and per unit of GDP (kilograms per constant United States dollar). Please note that as of March 2021, this is a Tier II indicator with methodology agreed only at global level and not yet for country-level monitoring (though UNEP data is available also for some countries). Material Footprint (MF) is the attribution of global material extraction to domestic final demand of a country. The total material footprint is the sum of the material footprint for biomass, fossil fuels, metal ores and non-metal ores. For more detail, please see: https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/metadata/files/Metadata-08-04-01.pdf.

SDG 9.4.1 - CO2 emission per unit of value added (kg/$)
(numeric)
Data Source:
Freedom House (NGO) https://freedomhouse.org/countries/freedom-net/scores
Additional Information:
SDG Indicator 9.4.1. Tier I. Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per unit value added is an indicator computed as ratio between CO2 emissions from fuel combustion and the value added of associated economic activities. The indicator can be computed for the whole economy (total CO2 emissions/GDP) or for specific sectors, notably the manufacturing sector (CO2 emissions from manufacturing industries per manufacturing value added - MVA). CO2 emissions per unit of GDP are expressed in kilogrammes of CO2 per USD constant 2017 PPP GDP. CO2 emissions from manufacturing industries per unit of MVA are measured in kilogrammes of CO2 equivalent per unit of MVA in constant 2015 USD. Carbon emission per unit of value added is a universal indicator for measuring the impact of industrial production on environment. It captures the intensity of energy use, energy efficiency of production technology and most importantly use of fossil fuels. According to the UNIDO definition used for SDG indicator 9.4.1., carbon emission is estimated from the data on energy consumption.

The term ‘sharing economy’ is often interchangeably used with the term collaborative economy, a rapidly evolving phenomenon. According to COM(2016) 356 final - A European agenda for the collaborative economy: the term "collaborative economy" refers to business models where activities are facilitated by collaborative platforms that create an open marketplace for the temporary usage of goods or services often provided by private individuals. The collaborative economy involves three categories of actors: (i) service providers who share assets, resources, time and/or skills — these can be private individuals offering services on an occasional basis (‘peers’) or service providers acting in their professional capacity ("professional services providers"); (ii) users of these; and (iii) intermediaries that connect — via an online platform — providers with users and that facilitate transactions between them (‘collaborative platforms’). Collaborative economy transactions generally do not involve a change of ownership and can be carried out for profit or not-for-profit.

EU intervention monitoring and reporting systems: (i) interim and final reports from implementing organisations, (ii) ROM reviews and (iii) evaluations
Additional Information:
The total volume of the traded waste materials (import plus export) indicator (tonnes/month) shows the market activity and covers intra- and extra trade in the EU. This indicator is shown as monthly data (tonnes/month) for a month. Data for this indicator will require calculations to be done periodically by the EU-funded intervention. Volume is extracted from international trade in goods statistics (https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/Internatio…) as intra-EU and extra-EU trade for both, import and export. International trade in goods statistics are published monthly, with a delay of approximately 3.5 months. Please check data availability for your country of interest in order to ensure that the relevant calculation can be made.
