country_UBWC_headcount.xlsx Country-level livestock headcount exposed to unsustainable blue-water consumption (1–3, 4–6, 7–9, 10–12 months per year), by species (Cattle, Buffalo, Chicken, Duck, Goat, Horse, Pig, Sheep), considering baseline (2020), SSP1-2.6 (2050), and SSP5-8.5 (2050) scenarios. The 2050 results are presented as ensemble median value along with their interquartile range (25th-75th percentiles).

country_economic_risk_average_Dollar.xlsx Country-level potential economic value exposed to unsustainable blue-water consumption (1–3, 4–6, 7–9, 10–12 months per year), by species (Cattle, Buffalo, Chicken, Duck, Goat, Horse, Pig, Sheep), using the average of “Official” and “Official+Imputed” price series and considering baseline (2020), SSP1-2.6 (2050), and SSP5-8.5 (2050) scenarios. The 2050 results are presented as ensemble median value along with their interquartile range (25th-75th percentiles). Units: $ USD.
