The report provides estimates on the following environmental indicators:
‍

• Greenhouse gas emissions (total GHG emissions, GHG emissions intensity, and share of overall emissions)
• Energy use (total energy use, energy intensity, and share of energy use by different types of sources)
• Water use (total water use and share of water use by water stress categories)
• Air pollutant emissions (emission of various air pollutants, emissions intensity, and share of overall air pollution)
• Material extraction (total materials extraction by types of materials, and share of overall materials extraction)

These indicators are analysed across 185 economies, 18 regions (including global average), and 4 income levels. The years covered by the report include 2010, 2019, 2020, and 2021.
