Domestic Material Consumption Per dollar (Kilograms per dollar) , s of developing countries countries and least developed countries export value s (million dollars) s (million tonnes) Unit price of exports (dollars per kilogram) 1, ,189,657, According to the "Report of the Inter-Agency and Expert Group on Sustainable Development Goal Indicators", Item 3 (a) of the provisional agenda, Forty-seventh session of the Statistical Commission on 8-11 March 016 at Share of Renewables and Hydro of the Total Primary Energy Supply. 1

2 Materials Materials are the 'things' that make up the products and infrastructure of our society. They include biomass (crops, livestock, forest products, fish), fossil fuels (coal, oil, gas), metals and minerals. These materials underpin human nutrition and health, fuel energy systems and provide the structural base for buildings, transport networks, vehicles and all consumer goods. 8.4 Resource efficiency and decouple economic growth from environmental degradation 1. Sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources and 1..1 Material Footprint Per dollar (Kilograms per dollar) ,833 40, and 1.. Domestic Material Consumption Per dollar (Kilograms per dollar) ,885 47, IAEG indicator 1..: has a Domestic Material Consumption of 105 million tonnes of material per year. It grew by 5% between and. Rest of the world 37. % 30,353 million tonnes Asia Pacific 6.8 % 51,87 million tonnes India 6,766 China 34,67 Rest of the world 30,353 country Others Indonesia 1,86,141 Industrialized country Rest of the world Japan 1,31 Australia 1,13 Pakistan 814 Thailand Viet Nam 601 Philippines 966 South Korea % % $ 481 Malaysia 409 Others 30 3,983 million people 16 trillion dollars $ 46 % 3,361 million people 57 trillion dollars 78 % Material use Unit: million tonnes Population Unit: million people GDP Unit: trillion dollars

3 Domestic Material Consumption Import IAEG indicator 1..1: 105 m tonnes 's Domestic Material Consumption is 105 million tonnes. This consists of 99 million tonnes extracted from its environment plus the 9 million tonnes imported, less.5 million tonnes exported material. 8.8 million tonnes.5 million tonnes 10 million tonnes 98.9 million tonnes Extraction IAEG indicator 1..: Average in the uses kilograms per dollar - this is called Material Intensity. It is 56% higher than other developing Asia and Pacific countries. Units: Kilograms per dollar Material 1 USD 5.3 IAEG indicator The rise of per capita material footprint (Unit: tonnes per person) Material footprint Singapore Australia South Korea New Zealand Japan China Malaysia Maldives Mongolia Bhutan Thailand Viet Nam Fiji Lao PDR Indonesia Philippines Cambodia Sri Lanka Papua New Guinea India Pakistan Myanmar Afghanistan Bangladesh North Korea What about material footprint per capita in? If we only look at 's material use for its own consumption, and exclude materials used to make exports, then we have the Material Footprint. For, this was 71 million tonnes in, less than its Domestic Material Consumption. This is.5 tonnes per capita per year. It is far less than the regional average but grew 18% in the past 5 years alone (Unit: tonnes per person) Material footprint 40 76

4 Energy Energy use is measured with the indicator primary energy supply. This indicator reports the total amount of energy (in joules) available to businesses and households in an economy by summing up domesticallyproduced energy and energy imports and subtracting energy exports. The supply of primary energy may come from different energy sources including coal, petroleum, natural gas, uranium, and renewable energy sources such as hydro, solar and wind. Electricity is only included if it is exported or imported in all other cases it is derived from one of the energy sources already measured. Napal 7. Increase share of renewable energy 7.3 Improve energy efficiency 7..1 Renewable energy share in total 86.8% 89.4% 17.7% 18.3% primary energy supply3 (percentage) Energy Intensity (Megajoules per dollar) IAEG indicator 7..1: used 53 petajoules of energy in. Of this, 89% was renewable. The amount of renewable energy grew each year, but the amount of non-renewable energy grew slower, therefore the share of renewable energy is increasing % Unit: Petajoules % 89% Renewables Hydro IAEG indicator 7.3.1: Natural gas Average in the Petroleum Coal Other uses 4 megajoules per dollar. This is higher than the regional average. Units: Megajoules per dollar Energy 1 USD For this report we include "renewables" and "hydro" as renewable energy sources.

5 Trade No country is 100% self sufficient in its resource use. Each country imports products that complement domestic supplies, and exports products to generate export earnings. SDG target calls on developing countries to increase their share of global exports, measured in economic value. Countries may wish to monitor the amount of natural resources that are exported as well as the value. This will determine whether developing countries are able to increase their share of exports by adding value to their natural resource exports or by increasing the physical amount of exports s of developing countries countries and least developed countries export value 1,104 s (million dollars) s (million tonnes) Unit price of exports (dollars per kilogram) 0.6 In the value of exports was $1.3 billion in total, or $46 per capita, which was lower than the value for developing countries ($844 per capita). The Material Footprint of the exports was 41 million tonnes in, which was 38% of materials entering into 's economy million tonnes Pakistan.5 million tonnes The unit price for exports was $0.57 per kg, which is lower than the regional average of $1.38 per kg. 1,315,99,614 3,189,657 1,706,305 Import exported.5 million tonnes of materials in. On a per capita basis, this is 8 kilograms per year Kg 1.38 = Materials exported: million tonnes Materials needed to produce exports: 41 million tonnes Materials entering 's economy: 108 million tonnes

6 Water Unlike other natural resources, water is often reused multiple times in the same year. Furthermore, the great majority of it is extracted from sources which will replenish themselves naturally, via the hydrological cycle, so issues of its usage are really those of managing a renewable resource flow rather than managing a depleting non-renewable resource stock. The water use indicator presented here reports total fresh water abstractions for use in agriculture, industry and in the residential sector, from all surface and underground sources. Direct rain fed onto crops is not included. The total water withdrawals indicator by itself is not an indicator of water stress as it does not include information on the natural availability of water in the region where withdrawals take place. 6.4 Increase water-use efficiency Water Intensity (litres per US dollar) 9 Average in the IAEG indicator 6.4.1: Napal used 741 liters of water per dollar GDP in. This is far more than the regional average (0 liters per dollar). Units: litres per dollar Water 1 USD Want to know more information?
