Abstract

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.The OECD Environment Statistics contains selected indicators for monitoring progress towards green growth to support policy making and inform the public at large. The dataset covers OECD countries as well as BRIICS economies, and selected countries when possible. Within UKDS.Stat, the OECD Environment Statistics are presented in the following tables (some tables will include missing data): Air and Climate Emissions of air pollutants: This dataset presents trends in man-made emissions of major air pollutants by sources. Greenhouse gas emissions: This dataset on air and climate presents trends in man-made emissions of major greenhouse gases and total emissions by gas and by source. Air Emission Accounts: This dataset presents total emissions of CO2 (CO2 emissions from energy use and industrial processes, e.g. cement production), CH4 (methane emissions from solid waste, livestock, mining of hard coal and lignite, rice paddies, agriculture and leaks from natural gas pipelines), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) for GHG and for other pollutants emissions data refer to emissions of sulphur oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), non-methane volatile organic compounds (VOC) and particulates (PM2.5). Biodiversity Threatened Species: This dataset on biodiversity shows numbers of known species and threatened species with the aim of indicating the state of mammals, birds, freshwater fish, reptiles, amphibians and vascular plants.
