The global annual database on environment resources published by
the World Resource Institute (WRI) entitled as 'World Resources
98-99' provides an information useful for researchers of
Environmental and Natural Resource Economics. Following is the
brief of the report: 

FACTS AND FIGURES: ENVIRONMENTAL DATA TABLES


The following data tables, from World Resources 1998-99,
present some of the information required to build a basic picture
of the state of the Earth in its human, economic, and environmental
dimensions. Where possible, the data tables assembled here show how
these dimensions have changed over time. In an increasingly
interdependent world, a picture of the whole is needed to
understand the interactions of human development, population
growth, economic growth, and the environment. Managing communities,
nations, or global resources for sustainable development requires
this same information. 
   
 Atmosphere and Climate
This data set provides globally comprehensive and
comparable estimates of emissions from industrial processes; a
detailed view of emissions in specific countries; the global time
series of CO2 emissions from industrial processes; and changes in
concentrations for important trace gases that either contribute to
global warming or to the depletion of the ozone layer. 


Bio-diversity
These tables document the extent of governmental response
to threats to bio-diversity and provide basic data on each
country's natural endowment in biological resources in terms of
selected species groups.  Economic Indicators These tables provide
basic measures of the size and structure of economies and their
growth rates; essential parameters describing the importance of
debt and aid in the world economy; and commodity prices to allow
understanding of the trajectory of trade and potential course of
development. 

Energy and Materials
These tables provides essential production data for fossil fuels,
primary electricity, and natural minerals and materials; energy
consumption data for commercial and traditional fuels; and
information on changing trends in production of electricity. 

Food and Agriculture
These tables provide basic data that allow understanding of trends
in food production; land, machinery, and chemical inputs to
agricultural systems; and variations in food security. 

  
Forests and Land Cover
These tables provide basic data describing the physical footprint
of people on the earth's surface; the extent and rate of change in
the world's forest resources, and the demand for forest products
and their international  context. 

Freshwater
This set of tables provides data on the extent of renewable
freshwater resources in each country; the standard measure of its
withdrawal and use; groundwater recharge and withdrawals and
desalinated water production; basic data on water quality in
European lakes; and key environmental data for 69 watersheds of the
world. 

Health
These tables provide health data parameters describing adult
and children's health and mortality; reported cases of infectious
diseases; extent and availability of health care; air pollution
levels in major cities of the world; extent of lead use in gasoline
and locations of lead production; and basic human health parameters
reported at the household level using Demographic and Health
Surveys. 

Oceans and Fisheries
These tables provide essential data to understand the pressures on
marine and freshwater fisheries; regional data on pressures on
marine fisheries; and regional sea data on marine species. 

Population and Human Development
These tables provide essential information for environmental
analysis regarding demographic parameters including population
size, economically active subset, and speed of change; income
distribution; and social investment in terms of access to various
services such as sanitation and health. 

Urban Data
The urban tables provide data at two levels: at the country level
including total urban population, percentage urban, and urban
growth rates; and at the city level including city populations,
growth rates, and various parameters that measure the quality of
the city environment.
