What is on this web site? The web site includes data tables for environmental issues as addressed by UNEP's GEO, such as climate change, water stress and deforestation, as well as a wide variety of socio-economic variables. Examples of data sets are CO2 emissions, water consumption, forest cover change, population growth, land use change and GDP development. Documentation on data sources, definitions and other parameters is also provided in the form of meta-data for each data set. Most of the tables are available for all countries of the world, as well as for the GEO regions and sub-regions, and for the world as a whole. Where possible, the data cover the time period 1972-2002, which is the time-frame of the retrospective chapter of GEO-3. The tables do not show each and every year on the screen - because of space constraints - but access to the full annual tables is linked from there. Maps showing the GEO regions are available by clicking in the left-hand menu. Additional data sets can be accessed through the dedicated GEO Data Portal at http://geodata.grid.unep.ch or through the UNEP.NET web site at http://www.unep.net. Contacts
