Air Emission Accounts are available for European countries and a few non-European countries.

The System of Environmental-Economic Accounting (SEEA) Central Framework is an accounting system developed around two objectives: "understanding the interactions between the economy and the environment" and describing "stocks and changes in stocks of environmental assets". The SEEA combines national accounts and environmental statistics in a statistical framework with consistent definitions, classifications and concepts allowing policy makers to evaluate environmental pressures from economic activities at macro- and meso-levels.

Data refer to 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), N2O (nitrous oxide), HFCs (hydrofluorocarbons), PFCs (perfluorocarbons), (SF6 +NF3) (sulphur hexafluoride and nitrogen trifluoride), SOx (sulphur oxides, NOx (nitrogen oxides), CO (carbon monoxide), NMVOC (non-methane volatile organic compounds), PM2.5 (particulates less that 2.5 µm), PM10 (particulates less that 10 µm) and NH3 (ammonia).

The OECD Air Emission Accounts present data based on ISIC rev. 4.

This dataset presents trends in man-made emissions of major air pollutants by sources.

This dataset on air and climate presents trends in man-made emissions of major greenhouse gases and total emissions by gas and by source. National Inventory Submissions 2017 to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC, CRF tables), and replies to the OECD State of the Environment Questionnaire.

This dataset presents mean population exposures to outdoor and ambient PM2.5 particles split by macror- and micro-regions.

This dataset presents mean population exposures to outdoor and ambient PM2.5 particles in metropolitan areas.

Air pollution is considered one of the most pressing environmental and health issues across OECD countries and beyond. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and ground-level ozone (O3) have potentially the most significant adverse effects on health compared to other pollutants.

This dataset answers the questions: how extensive are protected areas and what management objectives are pursued via protected area designation?

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.

This dataset provides information on the instruments used for environmental policy (environmentally related taxes).

This dataset presents data that help to trace net changes in terms of volume in the growing stock of standing wood on forest land.

This dataset 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 (Brazil, Russian Federation, India, Indonesia, China and South Africa), and selected countries when possible.

The Global Human Settlement built-up layers map the extent and change over time of built-up areas. It is one product of an ongoing larger framework that produces spatial information about the human presence on the planet.

Loss of biodiversity and pressures on ecosystem services are among the most pressing global environmental challenges. Changes in land cover and land use are the leading contributors to terrestrial biodiversity loss.

This dataset contains information concerning land use state and changes (e.g. agricultural land, forest land).

Surface water changes impact in different ways on biodiversity and climate. Both surface water gains and losses have biodiversity costs and impacts on ecosystem service provision. Damming is known to be one of the most important anthropogenic impacts on freshwater ecosystems. Dams fragment river systems and potentially block migration routes, leading to the loss of megafauna as well as changing the downstream flooding patterns and sediment deposition leading to the loss of floodplains, riparian zones and wetlands.

This dataset provides information on material resources, i.e. materials originating from natural resources that form the material basis of the economy: metals (ferrous, non-ferrous) non-metallic minerals (construction minerals, industrial minerals), biomass (wood, food) and fossil energy carriers.

Mineral and energy resources are one of the seven environmental assets considered in the System of Environmental Economic Accounting (SEEA, 2012). They are non-renewable resources which cannot be regenerated over a human timescale in spite of their prominent role in sustaining economic activities. From an economic, environmental and supply security perspective, it is therefore important to gather harmonised data on their rate of extraction and current availability.

This dataset introduces patent-based indicators such as indicators of technology development, indicators of international collaboration in technology development, indicators of technology diffusion.

The indicators presented, (see indicators' description below), refer to inventions filed in one or more jurisdictions (family size 1 or greater) or in two or more jurisdictions (family size 2 or greater). A patent family is defined as the set of all patent applications protecting the same ‘priority' (as defined by the Paris Convention)

For "Diffusion of environment-related technologies" indicators, only "restricted coverage" (i.e. at least 90% of patent office coverage) is used.

This dataset presents trends in amounts of municipal generated, and the treatment and disposal method used.

This dataset presents waste produced by the various sectors of economic activity (agriculture, mining and quarrying, manufacturing industry, energy production, water purification and distribution, construction, etc.) for the last year available.

This dataset shows the state and changes over time in the abstractions of freshwater resources in OECD countries.

This dataset takes stock of available freshwater resources in OECD countries.

This dataset provides information on the level of public equipment installed by countries to managed and reduce water pollution.
