This paper compiles and assesses current ecosystems
services indicators in order to inform and advance such efforts.
Total global emissions grew 12.7% between 2000 and 2005, an average of 2.4% a year.
**This chart is a comprehensive view of global, anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
World Greenhouse Gas Emissions in 2005 is a comprehensive view of global, anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The chart in this working paper is an updated version of the original chart, which appeared in Navigating the Numbers: Greenhouse Gas Data and International Climate Policy (WRI, 2005).
This report analyzes WRI’s material flow dataset by economic sector, identifies the environmental implications of national trends in materials use, and recommends several policy alternatives to the U.S. government for incorporating and using these accounts.
This world map shows countries and regions scaled according to their emissions of carbon dioxide from 1990-1999.
This flow chart shows the sources and activities across the U.S. economy that produce greenhouse gas emissions. Energy use is by far responsible for the majority of greenhouse gases.
WRI’s CAIT project provides comprehensive and comparable databases of greenhouse gas inventories and other climate-relevant data, analysis tools, and dynamic maps.
The Ecosystem Services Indicators Project is a partnership to develop a rigorous set of data indicators and frameworks to help integrate the ecosystem services approach with diverse public- and private-sector policy processes.
Developing indicators to manage water for people and nature. Special focus is placed on balancing water-use between the agriculture sector and freshwater ecosystems, highlighting the importance of sustaining functioning ecosystems.
EarthTrends influences policy and research with a comprehensive on-line collection of data and analysis about the environmental, social, and economic trends that shape our world.
This figure shows the relationship between greenhouse gas emissions and GDP. Even when emissions targets point downward, they may not necessarily imply a significant departure from business as usual.
This global, map-based analysis evaluates human pressure on coral reefs worldwide and provides information and tools to better manage coastal habitats.
