Detailed explanation-1: -Describe key environmental indicators that help us evaluate the health of the planet. Five important global-scale environmental indicators are biological diversity, food production, average global surface temperature and atmospheric CO, concentrations, human population, and resource depletion.
Detailed explanation-2: -The environment-related indicators illuminate phenomena such as urbanization and the loss of biological diversity; agricultural output and declining forest area; freshwater withdrawals and freshwater growing scarcity; electricity production and greenhouse gas emissions.
Detailed explanation-3: -A parameter or a value derived from parameters that describe the state of the environment and its impact on human beings, ecosystems and materials, the pressures on the environment, the driving forces and the responses steering that system.
Detailed explanation-4: -Core set indicators. Measurability. ISSUE – CLIMATE CHANGE. Data on GHG emissions are reported annually to the. Pressures. ♦ Index of greenhouse gas emissions. Conditions ♦ Atmospheric concentrations of GHG. ♦ Global mean temperature. Responses ♦ Energy efficiency. − Energy intensity.
