| Abstract: | This paper presents an account of global resource extraction for the year 1999 by material groups, world regions, and development status. The account is based on materials flow analysis methodology and provides benchmark information for political strategies toward sustainable resource management. It shows that currently around 50 000 megatons of resources are extracted yearly on a global scale, which results in a yearly global average resource use of around 8 tonnes per capita. |
