Hi all, I am looking for datasets containing variables of environmental behavior on a country level. Specifically, on any kind of behavior which can affect the environment, both positively and negatively.
For example, recycling rates (per country), percentage of people who commute by bicycle, amount of plastic used, % of renewable energies, deforestation in the last decades etc. Ideally, data should be available for at least 30 countries. It is easy to find data on carbon emissions, but I am struggling to find other variables. Any suggestions?
You might contact Malcolm Fairbrother from University of Bristol. He could have the information you are looking for.
Some aspects can be found from Eurostat:
- Recycling share of MSW: http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/tgm/table.do?tab=table&plugin=1&language=en&pcode=t2020_rt120
- Share of RES in final energy consumption: http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/tgm/table.do?tab=table&init=1&language=en&pcode=t2020_31&plugin=1
- land use: http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/lucas/data/database
There is no single dataset but you should look for each type of data...
FAOSTAT has lots of data for countries around the world and the data are easy to download. I am not sure that they have all you want, but it is a source. Check the link.
