Index of Leading Environmental Indicators: 2005 Report
Submitted by Steven F. Hayward, Ph.D, Michael De Alessi, Joel Schwartz on 4.19.2005
This tenth edition of the Index of Leading Environmental Indicators is a good time to take stock of progress over the last decade. When the Index was launched, there were few efforts to develop environmental indicators or report trends in a useful way for the media or the public. Now there are dozens of worthy efforts in the public and private sector, many of them highly detailed and most available on the Internet. (An inventory of 86 Internet-accessible indicator sets is included in this edition.) As often as not, these efforts reveal how much we don’t know about environmental conditions and trends, and point to the need to fill in the large gaps in our understanding.
