How to use

  • The Hotspot Analysis Tool enables users to analyze and identify sustainability hotspots in consumption and production patterns at national and sector levels. Students can develop competencies in environmental performance analysis, policy framework development, and understanding complex sustainability indicators.
  • This resource is ideal for both lecture settings to explain sustainability assessment concepts and hands-on workshops where students can interact with the tool. It’s particularly effective when introduced after basic sustainability concepts but before detailed policy analysis assignments.
  • Faculty should familiarize themselves with the three modules (Country Profile, Hotspots Identification, and National Data System) and prepare guided exercises. Consider creating step-by-step tutorials for students to explore different country profiles.
  • Related resources include complementary materials from the Life Cycle Initiative and One-Planet Network databases for deeper analysis.
