Environment and climate change statistics for Latin America and the Caribbean

ECOLEX is an information service on environmental law, operated jointly by FAO, IUCN and UNEP.

The GISD aims to increase public awareness about invasive species and to facilitate effective prevention and management activities by disseminating specialist’s knowledge and experience to a broad global audience. It focuses on invasive alien species that threaten native biodiversity and natural areas and covers all taxonomic groups from micro-organisms to animals and plants.

Established in 1964, the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List of Threatened Species has evolved to become the world’s most comprehensive information source on the global conservation status of animal, fungi and plant species.

Protected Planet is the most up to date and complete source of information on protected areas, updated monthly with submissions from governments, non-governmental organizations, landowners and communities. It is managed by the United Nations Environment World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC) with support from IUCN and its World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA).

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.
