The realization of MicroIOA depends on access to micro-scale data — specifically, data on the internal processes and sales of economic entities.

While this project focuses on environmental accounting, the same micro-level data is crucial for solving other major global challenges:

• 🌍 Climate Resilience
  Model how shocks like floods or droughts propagate through supply networks, exposing systemic vulnerabilities and protecting infrastructure.

• 💸 Economic Stability
  Identify firms that are “too relevant to fail,” monitor inflationary pressure points, and design targeted stimulus — similar to financial system stress tests.

• 📦 Supply Chain Security
  Map critical dependencies to prevent shortages (e.g., food, medicine) and enable early-warning systems for global disruptions.

• 🕵️‍♂️ Combatting Fraud & Enforcing Rights
  Uncover complex tax evasion schemes (e.g., carousel fraud) and uphold labor and human rights standards via end-to-end supply chain transparency.

Establishing a global system to standardize, verify, and securely share this data is a significant challenge — but an achievable one. Success depends on building a critical mass of support across disciplines.
