Part I of this report gives an overview of topics that stand out as having a pervasive impact on the human condition, exerting unique leverage on the future of the planet, or requiring urgent action. Part II includes a chapter on global climate change; it also includes the first publication of the Greenhouse Index which tracks each country's current responsibility for greenhouse gas emissions. Part II also includes an overview of resource use and environmental problems in Latin America - from deforestation to urban pollution. Part III reports on basic conditions and trends, major problems and efforts to resolve them, and recent developments in each of the major resource categories, from population and health to energy and freshwater. Supporting data as well as the core data tables from the World Resources Database, are found in Part IV
