Sections
- Global Ecology
Climate change, pollution, and deforestation are creating never before seen changes in Earth's living systems -- including a species
extinction rate that is the highest in the planet's history. Learn about these changes, what's causing them, and what's likely to happen in
the future.
- Fresh Water
Only 2.5% of the world's water is fresh, and around 70% of fresh water is frozen in ice and permafrost. Find out what's happening to
the remaining 0.75% of the world's water on which terrestrial life depends.
- Human Conditions
Clear, factual information on the state of the world's people -- population, health, poverty, access to water and food, life
expectancy, and the condition of cultural diversity worldwide.
- Energy Supply
Modern civilization is dependent upon cheap and reliable fossil fuel energy. Learn where energy resources are located around the
world, who uses them, how long they are likely to last, and which regions consume the most energy (and emit the most C02) per person.
- Food and Soil
Farming techniques have changed dramatically in the past 100 years as increasing population and consumption put pressure on the world's
food supply. Learn how these changes have effected the planet's soil, how food is supply is related to fossil fuels, and more.
- Fishing and Aquaculture
Learn where the world's fish stocks are concentrated, which regions consume the most wild and farmed fish, how fish is used, what
countries claim as Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs), and how heavily the world's fish stocks are being exploited.
- Toxic Pollution
Learn about the history of toxic chemicals (including PCBs, DDT, Dioxin, PBDE, Lead, and Mercury), contamination levels, safety
testing, and correlations between lead contamination levels and income in the United States.
- Weapons
Charts and text on weapons spending, military manpower, nuclear arsenals, Depleted Uranium, and national arms exports (which countries
produce most of the world's weapons).
- Development and Debt
How onerous are the debt burdens of poorer countries? Is loan-based development effective? Are multilateral financial institutions (IMF
and World Bank) helping or hindering sustainable development? Are poor countries catching up to rich ones? A brief series of graphs helps answer
these questions.
- Wealth
Over the past decades, wealth has become more concentrated worldwide, and the gap between rich and poor has widened. This page
illustrates the distribution of wealth within countries, between countries, and between countries and large corporations.
