Environmental and Social Sensitivity (ESG) Index Map for Natural Resources Development in Canada

This dataset contains spatial indices of environmental and social sensitivities for natural resources development for all of Canada. Both model result rasters (index maps) and input factors (weighted indices) are included along with point file locations of mineral, forestry, renewable energy, and future major projects.
