Book excerpt: Environmental indicators, like economic indicators, are important tools for translating quantities of data into succinct information that can be readily understood and used by decision makers and the general public. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has taken the first step in leading an international initiative to develop a series of indicators and Canada is beginning to work on developing a similar series. This report presents a brief overview of efforts now underway to develop consistent, reliable indicators to measure the quality of our environment, the stresses placed on it, and the steps taken to prevent or reduce those stresses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The indicators in this bulletin are part of a national set of environmental indicators designed to provide a profile of the state of Canada's environment & measure progress towards sustainable development. A review of potential impacts on Canada shows that such changes would have wide-ranging implications for its economic sectors, social well-being including human health, & ecological systems. This document looks at the natural state of greenhouse gases which help regulate the Earth's climate. Then it looks at human influence & what we are doing about it. The document then examines some indicators: carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel use; global atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases; & global & Canadian temperature variations.
