Description
Summary:World Bank (2015). Climate Change Data: National Resilience | Country: Iceland | Socioeconomic Indicator: Access to improved sanitation, 1990-2008. Data-Planet™ Statistical Ready Reference by Conquest Systems, Inc. [Data-file]. Dataset-ID: 051-005-003. Dataset: Presents statistics on the capacity of human systems to cope with the impacts of climate change, such as economic capacity, institutional capacity, and extent of public infrastructure. The data are sourced by the World Bank from national and international organizations, including the International Energy Agency, World Health Organization, United Nations Children's Fund, and International Road Federation. The World Bank Climate Change Data present statistics that relate to climate change, development, and the relationship between the two. The over 70 indicators included in the dataset are grouped into four areas: Size of the Economy, which presents data on population size and Gross Domestic Product (GDP); Exposure to Impacts, which provides data that suggest the degree to which a country or region may be exposed to changes in the prevailing climate and natural environment, with potential impacts on human health, food security, water supply, and physical infrastructure; Resilience, which includes data on the capacity of human systems to cope with the impacts of climate change, such as economic capacity, institutional capacity, and extent of public infrastructure; GHG Emissions and Energy Use, which includes data on the emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) and energy use, including measures of energy efficiency and carbon intensity of economy. Data are shown for economies with populations greater than 30,000 or for smaller economies if they are members of the World Bank. Where available data are provided for all countries and by nation covering the period 1990-2011. Data sources and years of coverage vary across indicators. Much of the data comes from the statistical systems of World Bank member countries. The quality of the data depends on how well these national systems perform. Errata announcements are posted periodically by the World Bank at http://data.worldbank.org/about/data-updates-errata. Category: Natural Resources and Environment, Population and Income Source: World Bank Founded in 1944 as a result of the Bretton Woods Conference, the World Bank is an independent specialized agency of the United Nations that provides financial and technical assistance to developing countries in order to foster economic growth and reduce poverty. Today, the World Bank Group comprises five institutions owned by 187 member countries: the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), which focuses on middle-income and creditworthy poor countries; the International Development Association (IDA), which focuses on least developed countries; the International Finance Corporation (IFC); the Multilateral Guarantee Agency (MIGA); and the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID). http://www.worldbank.org/ Subject: Climate Change, Social Development, Economic Development, Health Care Access
