Regionalized Life Cycle Impact Assessment datasets for Nunavik, Canada and World resolutions

These files can be used to import Life Cycle Impact Assessment datasets in Brightway and SimaPro.

The datasets contain the characterization factors for eleven regionalized midpoint impact categories, modelled based on the Impact World+ methodology.

The midpoint impact categories are : freshwater acidification, freshwater ecotoxicity,  freshwater eutrophication, human toxicity cancer, human toxicity non cancer, land occupation, land transformation, marine eutrophication, particulate matter formation, terrestrial acidification and water scarcity.

Each file will create a method containing the characterization factors necessary to determine environmental impacts for the eleven impact categories at a single resolution.

impact_world_plus_Nunavik is for the region of Nunavik, the region of Québec, Canada, situated above the 55th parallel.

impact_world_plus_Canada is for Canada or the corresponding sub-continental area depending on the reference characterization model.

impact_world_plus_World is for the world average.

Brightway packages are only compatible with the Ecoinvent 3.8 biosphere flows.
