2008 Environmental Performance Index (EPI)
Entry ID:
CIESIN_SEDAC_EPI_2008
Summary
Abstract:
The 2008 Environmental Performance Index (EPI) centers on two broad environmental protection objectives: (1) reducing environmental stresses on human health, and (2) promoting ecosystem vitality and sound natural resource management. Derived from a careful review of the environmental literature, these twin goals mirror the priorities expressed by policymakers. Environmental health and ecosystem ...
 Purpose: To provide quantitative metrics for evaluating a country's environmental performance in different policy categories relative to clearly defined targets.

Quality
One of the goals of the ARM Program is to provide data streams of reasonable
quality for scientific research. Traditionally, data quality issues have been addressed within ARM at several levels, including by instrument mentors, site scientists, value added product scientists, and Science Team members at large. Maintaining data quality for a program of the size and ...
Access Constraints
Data of common interest from external sources are shared whenever possible, but
some sources restrict secondary distribution of data. In these cases, ARM will seek specific allowances to distribute such data to members of the ARM Science Team, but will observe restrictions on further distribution from the Archive if required.
Use Constraints
Use-constraints, if any, are provided in Data Quality Reports sent with the
data files when data are requested. The automatic inclusion of a data originator as a co-author is not insisted upon in the ARM program, but the source of any data should be clearly recognized either as a co-author or through an appropriate acknowledgment. The ARM Program should be acknowledged ... Ancillary Keywords
