World Bank. Climate Change Data: Exposure to Impacts | Country: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Faroe Islands, Guyana, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela | Socioeconomic Indicator: Droughts, floods, extreme temps, 2009. Data-Planet™ Statistical Datasets by Conquest Systems, Inc. Dataset-ID: 051-005-002 Dataset: Presents statistics 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. The data are sourced by the World Bank from national and international organizations, including the Center for International Earth Science Information Network, the United Nations (UN), Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN, World Health Organization, and UNICEF. 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. http://data.worldbank.org/topic/climate-change Category: Natural Resources and Environment, Population and Income Subject: Environment, Population Change, Climate Change, Food Security, Social Development, Health 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.
