The web version allows users to play with the data and graphics, download and share them, and consult and download thematic web-books. These indicators provide key messages on major environmental trends in areas such as climate change, biodiversity, water resources, air quality, circular economy and ocean (forthcoming). They will be accompanied by a short Environment at a Glance report that presents a digest of the key messages stemming from the indicators.

The ICD-10 is copyrighted by the World Health Organization (WHO), which owns and publishes the classification. WHO has authorized the development of an adaptation of ICD-10 for use in the United States for U.S. government purposes.

The Global Registry converts this data into its carbon dioxide equivalent, using a first-of-its-kind, rigorously peer reviewed, open source CO2 emissions model that is able to provide a reliable assessment of the amount of CO2 embedded in fossil fuel production based on the unique features of each country. It:
-- Aggregates data into a comprehensive open-source database, drawing from government and private-sector sources;
-- Includes both country-level and project level data - project-level is important as this is where decision-making happens and liability is incurred;
--Integrates reserves, production, and emissions data with third-party scenarios to provide essential data for policymakers and others to make 1.5°C aligned production decisions;
--Includes life-cycle emissions from fossil fuel projects for both carbon dioxide and methane.
-- Contains data for over 50,000 fields in 89 countries representing projects covering 75% of global production.
-- Ranks countries based on absolute emissions and emissions intensities
-- Establishes an evolving database to serve as a trusted, policy-neutral tool to manage carbon budgets.
-- Has been reviewed by a technical committee of experts, and will be open for scrutiny and suggestions to ensure it remains as robust and useful as possible.

The Kaiser Foundation is a non-profit organization focusing on national health issues, as well as the U.S. role in global health policy. Unlike grant-making foundations, Kaiser develops and runs its own policy analysis, journalism and communications programs, sometimes in partnership with major news organizations.
