国際対応型 LCIA 手法 LIME3 の枠組みに基づく世界 42 カ国の行政区域の年間環境影響評価

This study attempted to comprehensively measure annual environmental loads emitted in administrative divisions of 42 countries, most of which are OECD members, in the year 2015 using the LCIA method LIME3. Using statistical information that was reliable, verifiable, and comparable, the total environmental damage amount for the 42 countries was calculated to be 5.22 trillion USD. The top three amounts for each impact category were land use, water consumption, and forest resource consumption. These damage amounts were placed on a world map to visualize tendencies related to population distribution and industrial activity.
