Resolved EXiobase (REX II) with regionalized biodiversity loss impact assessment of global mining – second version of a highly-resolved MRIO database for the year 2014

This repository provides a new version of the highly-resolved global multi-regional input-output database called REX II (Resolved EXiobase) for the year 2014 with improved data quality for all mining and metals processing sectors, including a regionalized biodiversity impact assessment for all mining sectors. This regionalized impact assessment is based on the global mining area data set of Maus et al (2020). The database REX II is described in the study "Hotspots of mining-related biodiversity loss in global supply chains and the potential for reduction by renewable electricity".
