Compendium of Environmental Sustainability Indicator Collections: Complete Collection, Version 1.1
Entry ID:
CIESIN_SEDAC_CESIC_COMPLETE_V11
Summary
Abstract:
The Compendium of Environmental Sustainability Indicator Collections contains 426 indicators for 239 countries from five major environmental sustainability indicator efforts: the 2006 Environmental Performance Index (EPI), 2005 Environmental Sustainability Index (ESI), 2004 Environmental Vulnerability Index (EVI), the Rio to Johannesburg Dashboard, the Wellbeing of Nations, and 2006 National ...
 Purpose: 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.

Combining a land cover map based on International Geosphere Biosphere
Programme IGBP land cover definitions (Hansen et al. in press) with percentage cover estimations of trees, leaf longevity and leaf type (DeFries et al. in press) produced the layers provided here. The land cover map was joined with the mixture model results ...
