Estadísticas ambientales y de cambio climático para América Latina y el Caribe

EM-DAT contains data on the occurrence and impacts of over 26,000 mass disasters worldwide from 1900 to the present day. The database is compiled from various sources, including UN agencies, non-governmental organizations, reinsurance companies, research institutes, and press agencies.

Emergency Events Database (EM-DAT) was created with the initial support of the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the Belgian Government. The initiative aims to rationalise decision making for disaster preparedness, as well as provide an objective base for vulnerability assessment and priority setting.

UNSD disseminates global environmental statistics with indicators compiled from a wide range of data sources, on ten themes: Air and climate; biodiversity; energy and minerals; forests; governance; inland water resources; land and agriculture; marine and coastal areas; natural disasters; and waste.
