1 Indicators from the Environmental Sustainability Index Related to Land Degradation Alex de Sherbinin CIESIN Columbia University KM:Land Initiative Workshop Selfoss, Iceland 28 August 2007 What is the ESI? The ESI measures the relative progress of 46 countries towards sustainability The ESI score quantifies the likelihood that a country will be able to preserve valuable environmental resources effectively over the period of several decades. (2005 ESI report, p.23) It is constructed from 76 variables aggregated to 2 indicators and 5 components It is developed on the premise the effective indicators describe problems, diagnose causes, design solutions, and drive action

14 ESI Approach Use best available data, but don t let the perfect be the enemy of the good ; leverage poor quality or proxy data by combining several variables to provide a more accurate picture Subnational variation is important, so we derive selected indicators from spatial data sets (e.g., anthropogenic land impacts, water availability/stress, disaster vulnerability, % land area in threatened ecoregions) Index/component/indicator/variable structure allows users to drill down and diagnose the cause of low scores Given that science cannot yet guide us on an objective weighting scheme, weight indicators equally Impute data sparingly, where there is a clear correlation between the target variable and independent variables for which data are available Be transparent about data strengths and weaknesses Challenge the global community to invest more in monitoring and data development 4
15 Environmental Performance Index (EPI) Approach Identify performance targets for 6 indicators Measure each country s proximity to target Group indicators in 6 policy categories Focus on policy-mutable indicators; avoid measures that relate to natural endowments or past environmental impacts The 2005 ESI is available at: For more on sustainability indicators visit: 5
