COUNTRY PROFILES

You are in the "Country Profiles" section of the EarthTrends text site. This section contains over 2000 country profiles organized around ten topic areas. Based on the wide array of data available in the EarthTrends database, the World Resources Institute has created profiles which compile key indicators for a country and compare those indicators with regional and world data.

Country Profiles highlight key environmental or social issues around a topic, such as forests or governance, for a certain country. The country profiles contain the most recent data available for about thirty variables as well as charts which graphically depict these indicators over time.

To access the country profiles, click first on any one of the topics in the toolbar above and then select a country profiles from the list on that page. On each page, you will find links to "View Notes" and to "Download as PDF". The "View Notes" link brings up an external window which contains technical notes for the indicators in the country profile. The "Download as PDF" link will launch an external window which contains the Adobe PDF file. To save this information to your hard drive, right click on the link and select "Save Target As . . ."

We welcome and value feedback from our users. If you find an error, have a suggestion, or would like to tell us how you are using EarthTrends information, send an email to earthtrends@wri.org
