EarthTrends, launched by World Resources Institute (WRI) in 2001, is a specialized data source for environmental and sustainable development information. EarthTrends gathers data from the world’s leading statistical agencies like the World Bank, the IMF, the IFPRI, etc., along with WRI. To facilitate the comparison of data from different sources, EarthTrends supplements its content with detailed metadata that report on research methodologies and evaluates the information’s reliability. The database is available free for public use online at http://earthtrends.wri.org.
The database is organized in ten topic areas, namely agriculture and food, biodiversity and protected area, climate and atmosphere, coastal and marine ecosystems, economics, energy and resources, environmental governance and drylands, population, and water resources and freshwater ecosystem. Most of series in the EarthTrends database cover time-series information since 1960. EarthTrends contain more than 200 country profiles for over 500 variables. The EarthTrends also include data tables, maps, and feature stories on a variety of environmental, social, and economic topics.
Some financial data series of EarthTrends database, used in IFs analysis, have been converted into billion US$ from current prices at US$ and some series related to population have been transformed into million figures.
