Indicator List of Category: Environment

Indicator Unit Definition Carbon Dioxide Emissions, Per Capita Metric Tons Carbon dioxide emmissions per capita are measured as the total amount of carbon dioxide emitted by the country as a consequence of all relevant human (production and consumption) activities, divided by the population of the country. Carbon Dioxide Emissions, Total Thousand metric tonnes Estimates of total carbon dioxide emissions include anthropogenic emissions, less removal by sinks, of carbon dioxide. The term “total” implies that emissions from all national activities are considered. The typical sectors for which carbon dioxide emissions/removals are estimated are energy, industrial processes, agriculture, waste, and the sector of land use, land-use change and forestry. Consumption Of All Ozone Depleting CFCs ODP Metric Tons This indicator is used to monitor the reduction in the usage of Ozone Depleting Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) as a result of the Montreal Protocol. Therefore only chlorofluorocarbons controlled under the Montreal Protocol are covered by the indicator. The Units of Measurement are metric tons of ODS weighted by their Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP), otherwise referred to as ODP tons. Consumption of All Ozone Depleting Substances ODP Metric Tons This indicator is used to monitor the reduction in the usage of Ozone Depleting Substances (ODSs) as a result of the Montreal Protocol. Therefore only ODSs controlled under the Montreal Protocol are covered by the indicator. The Units of Measurement are metric tons of ODS weighted by their Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP), otherwise referred to as ODP tons. Energy Use (kg Equivalent) per $1000 GDP Constant 2005 PPP $ Energy use per GDP (Constant 2005 PPP $) is the kilogram of oil equivalent of energy use per gross domestic product converted to 2005 constant international dollars using purchasing power parity rates. Energy use refers to use of primary energy before transformation to other end-use fuels, which is equal to indigenous production plus imports and stock changes, minus exports and fuels supplied to ships and aircraft engaged in international transport.
