Resource Security Production Imports Sustainability For each nation, it is a function of: Production Imports Sustainability Domestic Production Foreign Production Domestic Supply Foreign Supply

Global Footprint Network Offer multiple products, including: Traditional Extended National Footprint Accounts Consumption Activity Footprints Commodity Footprint Intensities Sector-level Output Footprints Embodied Biocapacity in Trade

Resource Security Resource insecure Resource secure

Conclusions Assessments of resource security require examination of both domestic policies and trade policies Global Footprint Network offers quantified data on exposure to biological resource degradation Work is underway to provide tools with which to assess policy impacts on resource security Partnership between resource accountants and trade experts to provide multilateral policy solutions to resource security
