Accounting for biodiversity impacts of consumption and production: current gaps and frontiers.

The way humans produce and consume material goods continues to be a primary driving force on biodiversity decline. Despite significant advances in quantifying biodiversity footprints, important differences exist across types of approaches and indicators. These include, what aspects of biodiversity are measured and how they are reported. In this scoping review, we provide an overview of biodiversity impact metrics developed to assess biodiversity impacts by human production and consumption activities.

We use systematic literature mapping to scan over 1,200,000 records sourced from OpenAlex. Using natural language processing models and a cosine similarity index, we reduce our corpus to more than 7,000 records and finally include 154 works as part of the review.
