Description: A map showing estimated changes in above-ground carbon between 2005 and 2009. The legend ranges from red
(indicating a loss in carbon) to transparent (indicating no change) to blue and purple (indicating a gain in carbon).
Source: BioCarbon Tracker
Data Date: 2009
Extent/Coverage: World
Input Data: ESA Globcover 2009, IPCC 2006
Notes: See the Science Section (http://biocarbontracker.com/science) for methods on the production of this layer.

Normative biodiversity metric
Description: The Normative Biodiversity Metric (NBM) map gives an approximate indication of the biodiversity significance of
land areas. This is calculated by combining information on the pristineness of ecosystems and the density of endemic species.
Red areas represent areas of low biodiversity value, to blue representing areas of high value, as in the legend on the right.
Input data: WWF's Terrestrial Eco-Regions dataset, and Ellis and Ramankutty (2008), Putting People on the map: Anthropogenic
Biomes of the World. doi: 10.1890/070062
Description: Global map showing 5 classes of threat to human water security from very low to very high. This map is adjusted to
take into account the different economic circumstances in each country which allows investment in infrastructure to mitigate high
levels of water stress.
Supply Chain Management: Water-intensive production systems in areas which have higher levels of threat should be reduced
or avoided, to minimise the impact of your organisation on human water insecurity.
