OECD Sustainability Data Metrics

The OECD provides a comprehensive set of sustainability data metrics, focusing on various aspects of environmental performance and policy. Key indicators include:

1. Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Data on emissions by sector and gas, tracking trends and progress towards reduction targets.
2. Air Quality: Metrics on the concentration of air pollutants, such as particulate matter and ozone, in different regions and their health impacts.
3. Water Resources: Information on water quality, usage, and availability, including indicators on water stress and the efficiency of water use in agriculture and industry.
4. Biodiversity: Data on species diversity, protected areas, and ecosystems, assessing the status and trends of biodiversity conservation.
5. Waste Management: Statistics on waste generation, recycling rates, and the management of hazardous waste.
6. Energy Consumption: Metrics on energy production, consumption, and efficiency, as well as the share of renewable energy in the energy mix.
7. Material Flows: Indicators on the use of materials and resources, including resource productivity and the environmental impact of material extraction and consumption.

These metrics provide valuable insights into the environmental performance of OECD member countries, helping policymakers to design and implement effective sustainability strategies.
