Pilot 2006 Environmental Performance Index (EPI)
Entry ID:
CIESIN_SEDAC_EPI_2006
Summary
Abstract:
The Pilot 2006 Environmental Performance Index (EPI) centers on two broad environmental protection objectives: (1) reducing environmental stresses on human health, and (2) promoting ecosystem vitality and sound natural resource management. Derived from a careful review of the environmental literature, these twin goals mirror the priorities expressed by policymakers. Environmental health and ...
 Purpose: To provide quantitative metrics for evaluating a country's environmental performance in different policy categories relative to clearly defined targets.

Use Constraints
The locations of stream measurement points were digitized from 1:126,720-scale
county road maps. The corresponding stream reaches were derived from a 1:250,000 hydrography coverage (Soenksen and others, 1999). If measurement sites are used separately from reaches, the maximum scale of 1:100,000 should not be exceeded. When used in conjunction with the reach segments, the maximum scale should not exceed 1:250,000. Ancillary Keywords
