The bars show, for each biome, the fraction of potential area lost by 1950 (pale blue), lost between 1950 and 1990 (blue) and the projected loss by 2050 (dark blue).
Location of areas of high risk(red), moderate risk (orange) and low risk (white)of water erosion.
Areas of grass and fodder, food crops and biofuel crops trends for 1980, 2005 and 2030. Forested areas are also added as a comparison.
Production cost comparison between arctic oil, deep and ultra-deepwater oil, heavy oil and bitumen, conventional oil
Total primary energy demand by fuel type (coal, oil, gas, nuclear, hydroelectric, biomass and waste, other renewable). Distinguishing 2 scenario for 2020 and 2035: IEA-450 scenario and current policies scenario.
The bars show proved oil and natural gas reserves by country. Only countries with more than 20 billion barrels of oil are shown (top maps). Only countries with more than 3 billion cubic metres are shown (bottom maps).
Human appropriation of net primary production in percentage
Fuel price index and metals price index evolution from 1980 to 2010
Share of world exports evolution (1980 to 2009) for selected export regions or countries
Top five partners in trade of China, the European Union, the United States and Sub-Saharan Africa for 2006 and projections for 2050
The figure show cumulative mass balance of long-term monitoring programs averaged for the six European regions.
The map shows the distribution of glaciers and ice caps as well as the locations of the available long-term mass balance observations labeled according to their region.
The bar sizes show, for each country, the number of applicants to register inventions, counted as patent families. A patent family is a set of inter-related applications on the same subject. Statistics based on patent families eliminate double counts (i.e. when the same invention is registered in different patent offices).
GDP per capita from 1980 to 2030
Trend of Gross Domestic Product in selected countries and world regions. Indexed values (index=100 in 2000).
Trends in patent registration for selected patent offices including the 3 most popular ones (United States , Japan and China), European selected patent offices, China and Korea.
Timeline describing the ever-shortening time taken by a selection of inventions (telephone, radio, TV, Internet..) to reach a quarter of the population in the US.
