Indicator List of Category: ENVIRONMENT
Indicator Unit Definition
CO2 Emissions, Consumption (in Millions) Tonnes Carbon dioxide emissions occurring anywhere in the world attributed to the country in which goods and services are consumed, expressed in terms of tonnes.
CO2 Emissions, Territorial, Cement (in Millions) Tonnes Carbon dioxide emissions from chemical reactions in the manufacture of cement, expressed in terms of tonnes. Territorial emissions are carbon dioxide emissions attributed to the country in which they physically occur.
CO2 Emissions, Territorial, Coal (in Millions) Tonnes Carbon dioxide emissions from the oxidation of coal, expressed in terms of tonnes. Territorial emissions are carbon dioxide emissions attributed to the country in which they physically occur.
CO2 Emissions, Territorial, Gas (in Millions) Tonnes Carbon dioxide emissions from the oxidation of gas, expressed in terms of tonnes. Territorial emissions are carbon dioxide emissions attributed to the country in which they physically occur.
CO2 Emissions, Territorial, Gas Flaring (in Millions) Tonnes Carbon dioxide emissions from the combustion of vented natural gas and the venting of carbon dioxide in the oil and gas industry converting methane into carbon dioxide, expressed in terms of tonnes. Territorial emissions are carbon dioxide emissions attributed to the country in which they physically occur.
CO2 Emissions, Territorial, Oil (in Millions) Tonnes Carbon dioxide emissions from the oxidation of oil. Territorial emissions are carbon dioxide emissions attributed to the country in which they physically occur.
CO2 Emissions, Territorial, Total (in Millions) Tonnes Carbon dioxide emissions from the oxidation / venting / manufacture of cement, coal, oil, gas, gas flaring, and others attributed to the country in which they physically occur.
CO2 Emissions, Transfer (in Millions) Tonnes Net difference between territorial and consumption emissions; representing the emissions from the production of exports minus the emissions from the production of imports, expressed in terms of tonnes.
Pollution, Air, Mean Annual Exposure, per m3 Micrograms Average level of exposure of a country's population to concentrations of suspended particles measuring less than 2.5 microns in aerodynamic diameter, expressed in terms of micrograms per cubic meter.
Pollution, Air, Population Exposed to Levels Exceeding WHO Interim Target-1 Value, % of Total Percent Portion of a country’s population living in places where mean annual concentrations of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) are greater than 35 micrograms per cubic meter, expressed in terms of percentage.
Pollution, Air, Population Exposed to Levels Exceeding WHO Interim Target-2 Value, % of Total Percent Portion of a country’s population living in places where mean annual concentrations of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) are greater than 25 micrograms per cubic meter, expressed in terms of percentage.
Pollution, Air, Population Exposed to Levels Exceeding WHO Interim Target-3 Value, % of Total Percent Portion of a country’s population living in places where mean annual concentrations of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) are greater than 15 micrograms per cubic meter, expressed in terms of percentage.
Protected Areas, Terrestrial and Marine, % of Total Territorial Area Percent Ratio of total area of a country's terrestrial protected areas and marine protected areas in territorial waters to the total area of its land areas (including inland waters) and territorial waters, expressed in terms of percentage. Terrestrial protected areas are totally or partially protected areas of at least 1,000 hectares that are designated by national authorities as scientific reserves with limited public access, national parks, natural monuments, nature reserves or wildlife sanctuaries, protected landscapes, and areas managed mainly for sustainable use. Marine protected areas are areas of intertidal or subtidal terrain - and overlying water and associated flora and fauna and historical and cultural features - that have been reserved by law or other effective means to protect part or all of the enclosed environment.
Protected Areas, Terrestrial, % of Total Land Area Percent Ratio of total area of a country's terrestrial protected areas to its total land area (including inland waters), expressed in terms of percentage. Terrestrial protected areas are totally or partially protected areas of at least 1,000 hectares that are designated by national authorities as scientific reserves with limited public access, national parks, natural monuments, nature reserves or wildlife sanctuaries, protected landscapes, and areas managed mainly for sustainable use.

Threatened Species, Birds Number Number of bird species classified by the IUCN as endangered, vulnerable, rare, indeterminate, out of danger, or insufficiently known.
Threatened Species, Fish Number Number of fish species classified by the IUCN as endangered, vulnerable, rare, indeterminate, out of danger, or insufficiently known.
Threatened Species, Fungi and Protists Number Number of fungus and protist species classified by the IUCN as endangered, vulnerable, rare, indeterminate, out of danger, or insufficiently known.
Threatened Species, Mammals Number Number of mammal species classified by the IUCN as endangered, vulnerable, rare, indeterminate, out of danger, or insufficiently known.
Threatened Species, Molluscs Number Number of mollusc species classified by the IUCN as endangered, vulnerable, rare, indeterminate, out of danger, or insufficiently known.
Threatened Species, Other Invertebrates Number Number of other invertebrate species classified by the IUCN as endangered, vulnerable, rare, indeterminate, out of danger, or insufficiently known.
Threatened Species, Plants Number Number of plant species classified by the IUCN as endangered, vulnerable, rare, indeterminate, out of danger, or insufficiently known.
Threatened Species, Reptiles Number Number of reptile species classified by the IUCN as endangered, vulnerable, rare, indeterminate, out of danger, or insufficiently known.
Threatened Species, Total Number Number of amphibian, bird, fish, fungus and protist, mammal, mollusc, other invertebrate, plant, and reptile species classified by the IUCN as endangered, vulnerable, rare, indeterminate, out of danger, or insufficiently known.
