This report includes key environmental indicators endorsed by OECD Environment Ministers in May 2001 for public information and communication by OECD. These indicators give a broad overview of environmental issues in OECD countries and are updated annually. These data come from the OECD SIREN database, which is regularly updated with information provided by Member countries authorities, from internal OECD sources and from other international sources.(Original source: http://http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/32/20/31558547.pdf)
