The Little Green Data Book, 2005
The Little Green Data Book is based on the World Development Indicators, 2005 and is the result of close collaboration between the staff of the Development Economics Data Group, and the Environment Department. The 2005 edition coincides with important transformations linked to sustainable development. This year will be remembered for the entry into force of the Kyoto Protocol. It also marked a renewed commitment by the G-8 countries to foster development in Africa.
The Little Green Data Book is a pocket-sized quick reference on key environmental data. Each page corresponds to one country. The user-friendly presentation of country data provides a baseline for comparison with regional and income group averages. Under the headings of agriculture, forests, biodiversity, energy, emissions and pollution, water and sanitation, and ‘greener’ national accounts, the Little Green data Book presents 47 indicators of the environment and its relationship to people for more than 200 countries.
