The Global Environmental Impacts of Consumption Indicator dashboard provides estimates of global environmental impacts and risks driven by consumption and production activities. The dashboard links the production of over 160 agricultural commodities across 240 producer countries/territories with selected environmental impacts and risks. The dashboard visualises how these impacts are driven by the consumption activities of countries, territories or other regions from 2005 to 2023. The tool is a useful starting point for businesses looking to undertake a nature assessment as it enables them to identify environmental impacts that result from the supply chains of particular commodities.

The TRADE (Trade, Development and the Environment) Hub was a five-year project, funded until 2024, to help make trade sustainable for people and the planet. The TRADE Hub highlighted the voices of smallholder farmers and worked to understand inequity within supply chains from the perspectives of those most affected, whether by the distribution of profits or access to markets. Work was focused on the impact of trade of specific goods, and on seeking solutions to these impacts. Using this information, the TRADE Hub provided recommendations to national governments and policy officials on how to create trade policies with the needs of smallholders at their core.
Trase is a not-for-profit initiative founded in 2015 by the Stockholm Environment Institute and Global Canopy to bring transparency to deforestation and agricultural commodity trade.
