SOURCES: Carbon dioxide damage is estimated to be $20 per ton of carbon (the unit damage in 1995 U.S. dollars) times the number of tons of carbon emitted.; Particulate emissions damage is calculated as the willingness to pay to avoid mortality attributable to particulate emissions.; CO2: Total Emissions (excluding land-use) Units: thousand metric tonnes of carbon dioxide; Carbon dioxide emissions are those stemming from the burning of fossil fuels and the manufacture of cement. They include carbon dioxide produced during consumption of solid, liquid, and gas fuels and gas flaring.; This entry lists the most pressing and important environmental problems. The following terms and abbreviations are used throughout the entry:
; Forest area is land under natural or planted stands of trees, whether productive or not.; ; The various international environmental agreements to which a country is a party. Agreements are listed in alphabetical order by the abbreviated form of the full name.
; The various international environmental agreements which a country has signed but not ratified. Agreements are listed in alphabetical order by the abbreviated form of the full name.
; 1999 total CO2 emissions from fossil-fuel burning, cement production, and gas flaring. Emissions are expressed in thousand metric tons of carbon (not CO2).; Tons of Carbon Dioxide produced per capita in 1998 or latest available year. Carbon dioxide from energy use only. Excludes international marine bunkers.; Municipal waste is that which is collected and treated by or for municipalities: household waste and bulky waste as well as comparable waste from small communities or industrial enterprises; and market and garden residue.; Kilogram weight of Nitrogen Oxides produced per capita in 1998 or latest available year.;
; Number of Threatened Species (1990-99); Number of threatened mammal species (1997)
