To provide quantitative metrics for evaluating a country's environmental performance in different policy categories relative to clearly defined targets.

Effects of Climate Change on Global Food Production from SRES Emissions and Socioeconomic Scenarios, v1 (1970 – 2080)

Climate Effects on Food Supply

To provide an assessment of potential climate change impacts on world crop production.

Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) Observed Climate Change Impacts, v1 (1970 – 2004)

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

To provide a database with observed responses to climate change for multidisciplinary studies.

Environmental Performance Index, 2008 Release (1994 – 2007)

Environmental Performance Index (EPI)

To provide quantitative metrics for evaluating a country's environmental performance in different policy categories relative to clearly defined targets.

Urban-Rural Population Estimates, v1 (2000)

Low Elevation Coastal Zone (LECZ)

To provide estimates of urban and rural populations and land areas in the low elevation coastal zone.

Compendium of Environmental Sustainability Indicators

To make the acquisition, comparison and analysis of sustainability indicators easier by compiling them in a single database, incorporating multiple country codes, and condensing the indicator descriptions into short methodological summaries in an accompanying data dictionary.

Population, Landscape, And Climate Estimates (PLACE), v2 (1990, 2000)

National Aggregates of Geospatial Data Collection (NAGDC)

To provide tabular data on environmental conditions (elevations, climate, coastal) in which people reside.

Synthetic Assessment of Global Distribution of Vulnerability to Climate Change, v1 (2005, 2050, 2100)

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

To provide geographical portraits of vulnerability designed to incorporate both exposure to climate change and national capacities to adapt.

Pilot Environmental Performance Index, 2006 Release (1994 – 2006)

Environmental Performance Index (EPI)

To provide quantitative metrics for evaluating a country's environmental performance in different policy categories relative to clearly defined targets.

To provide a spatial surface of the total economic impacts of global flood hazard.

Environmental Sustainability Index, 2005 Release (1980 – 2000)

Environmental Sustainability Index (ESI)

To create a comparative index of national-level environmental sustainability and to provide a mechanism for making environmental management more quantitative, empirically grounded and systematic.

Global Drought Proportional Economic Loss Risk Deciles, v1 (2000)

Natural Disaster Hotspots

To provide a spatial surface of the proportional economic impacts of global drought hazard.

Global Flood Hazard Frequency and Distribution, v1 (1985 – 2003)
