Since 1998, the World Bank has been publishing a comprehensive set of environmental indicators in its annual publication World Development Indicators. Environmental indicators are also published in the Little Green Data Book. The diversity of conditions across countries and limitations in data availability make it impossible to capture environmental trends worldwide with a small number of indicators.

The indicators shown here illustrate some of the main environmental themes in Europe and Central Asia.
