Abstract

The 2005 Environmental Sustainability Index (ESI) portion of the Compendium of Environmental Sustainability Indicators Collection contains 103 variables for 146 countries. The variables include raw data and processed indicators and indices which are calculated on the basis of the raw data. The index was unveiled at the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in January 2005 at Davos, Switzerland. The 2005 ESI is a joint product of the Yale Center for Environmental Law and Policy (YCELP) and the Columbia University Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN), in collaboration with the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the Joint Research Centre (JRC), European Commission. The data are distributed by the Columbia University Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN).

Purpose

To provide a mechanism for making environmental management more quantitative, empirically grounded and systematic. The ESI scores evaluate a country's potential to avoid major environmental deterioration. The ESI provides a policy tool for identifying issues that deserve greater attention within national environmental protection programs and across societies more generally.
