pretty_name: IFVI Value Factors - Derivative Dataset For Analysis

🚀 What if companies' environmental impacts could be quantified in monetary terms!?

🌍 About The Global Value Factors Explorer Dataset

The Global Value Factors Database, released by the International Foundation for Valuing Impacts during UN Climate Week NYC 2023, provides a set of almost 100,000 "value factors" for converting environmental impacts into monetary terms.

The GVFD covers 430 different environmental impacts across four main categories of impact: air pollution, land use and conversion, waste and water pollution . With the exception of the value factor for greenhouse gas emissions, for which a single value factor is provided ($236/tco2e), the value factors are geographically stratified (in other words, the value factors are both impact-specific and geolocation-specific). In total, there are 268 geolocations in the dataset reflecting all the world's recognised sovereigns as well as some international dependencies. In addition, one set of value factors, air pollution, provides data at the level of US states.

Key Data Parameters

Parameter	Value
Value Factors	Almost 100,000 "value factors" for converting quantitative environmental data into monetary equivalents (USD)
Geolocations	268 geolocations (all recognized sovereigns plus some dependencies)
US States	Value factors for air pollution at the US state level
Impact Categories	Air pollution, land use and conversion, waste, water pollution
Methodologies	Interim methodologies from IFVI

📅 Versioning

This repository reflects GVFD Version 1 (October 15th, 2024). It is not guaranteed to be the most recent version. Consult the IFVI website for the latest data and updates. While this repository aims to mirror the original GVFD, using this data for official purposes requires referencing the complete IFVI documentation, which is not included here.

📜 Licensing

This derivative dataset is subject to the same terms of use as the original database, available in license.md at the repository root. These licensing conditions are stipulated by the International Foundation for Valuing Impacts. At the time of writing, the licensing terms provide for wide use of the data on a complimentary basis (including by account preparers) with limited exclusions to that position for those looking to integrate the data into commercial data products for which licensing charges apply. Questions regarding licensing of the database and requests for clarification regarding allowable uses and any other queries regarding compliance with the terms of their license should be referred to the IFVI.

🗂️ Data Formatting

The source data has been restructured for various analytical perspectives:

Data Category	Description
By Methodology	JSON arrays organized by methodology parameters.
By Methodology, By Country	Mirrors the source database structure (except Land Use and Conversion, which are split into two files).
By Territory	Organizes data geographically by continent, territory, and US state (US states appear in one methodology). JSON files aggregate data from various methodology tabs.

Additional resources:

CSV format data.
metadata/ folder containing non-data items (e.g., notes from the original database tabs).

🛠️ Data Modifications

No material data changes were made. Modifications are limited to formatting and restructuring for analysis. Two non-material changes (documented in the changelog) are:

Removal of US dollar signs for easier database integration.
Standardization of 12 country names to more common versions (e.g., "Bahamas, The" to "Bahamas") and mapping all territories to their ISO-3166 Alpha-2 codes for clarity.

🔧 Development and Maintenance

This repository includes scripts for maintaining download statistics and other metadata. To contribute or run these scripts locally:

Install the required dependencies:
```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

Update download statistics manually:

python3 .github/scripts/update_stats.py

The repository is configured with GitHub Actions to automatically update download statistics daily.

📝 Release Notes For V2

This release standardises versioning for an early iteration (V2) of the derivative database of the IFVI Global Value Factors Database (GVFD).

This package consists of JSON representations of the original XLSM database contained in the original IFVI data release.

JSON hierarchies reflecting different organisations of the source data

The data tables in this derivative dataset are organised into various hierarchies to support different data analytics and visualisation use-cases:

by-methodology This folder is divided into subfolders tracking the various methodologies used by the IFVI. The files it contains are "custom" (original) hierarchies representing the data. Not all the methodologies have data tables in this folder.
by-methodology-by-country This folder maps most closely onto the original format in which the data was released and divides the database firstly by methodology and then by country (and then with impacts, values, etc)
by-territory This folder consists of individual JSON files for the various countries and territories (including US states) that were included in some or all of the methodology data releases. The datasets here are organised firstly into geographical continents and then by country (or territory; some of the territories are not widely recognised as independent sovereigns). US states - which were included in one methodology - have their own subfolder.

Data Modifications (Non-Substantive)

This dataset (and the repository containing it) is a non-official derivative of the International Foundation for Valuing Impact (IFVI) Global Value Factors Database (GVFD) V1. This derivative dataset is intended to support the programmatic use of the Database for research-related analysis and visualisation.

This dataset intends to reflect an accurate reformatting of the source data at the time of its compilation. This version of the derivative dataset is based upon the first version of the GVFD as published by the IFVI on October 15th 2024.

No material edits have been made to the source data.

The following edits were made solely to support the intended use-case:

Removal of currency symbols

To streamline intake of these JSON files into database systems, non-integer data (currency symbols) were scrubbed from the dataset. As is noted in the metadata, the IFVI Database is standardised on the US Dollar.

Editing of country and territory names

To assist with geovisualisation use-cases, all countries and territories were matched with their corresponding alpha-2 values as defined by ISO 3166,

In order to render the names of countries and territories in more easily recognisable formatting, the names of 18 countries and territories were lightly reformatted.

For example "Bahamas, The" was renamed "Bahamas" and "Egypt, Arab Rep." was renamed as simply "Egypt."

Separation Of Non-Data Entities

Air Pollution: PM 2.5 Values By Country

This JSON array - from V1 of the derivative dataset presents the value factors for particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5).

Details of the air pollution dataset can be found here.

The value factors (value: in the array) are denominated in US dollars. The quantitative environmental parameters is metric tons of measured PM2.5 release.

This value factor is stratified by location.

Contributor Guidelines

Contributions to enhance this derivative dataset, making it more valuable, easier to navigate, and better suited for analytical and visualization use cases. If you have ideas or improvements, please consider contributing by following these steps:

Submitting a Pull Request:
Start by opening a pull request. A dedicated branch named Contributors Root is available as an initial entry point for contributions. If preferred, you can create individual contributor branches stemming from this root branch.
Preserving the Original Structure:
It is crucial to maintain the structure of the original derivative database as it mirrors the format published by the IFVI. Any modifications should not alter this original structure.
Adding New Derivations:
If you are adding new derivations or datasets, please organize them within the contributors subfolder located in the data root directory. This folder is a first-level directory designed to house all contributor additions while preserving the integrity of the original dataset.
