Appendix I : Display Layers


Change 2005-2009

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.

Carbon Risk Index

Description: Index indicating biocarbon at risk of emission due to forest loss.


Source: BioCarbon Tracker
Creation Date: March 2010
Data Date: 2007-2009
Extent/Coverage: World
Input Data: BioCarbon Tracker BioCarbon at Risk layer.
Notes: See the Science Section (http://biocarbontracker.com/science) for methods on the production of this layer.

Carbon

Description: An above-ground global carbon map based on ESA Globcover land cover classifications, IPCC factors and
additional data sources.

Data Date: 2009

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

Human water security

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.

satellite imagery and analytical tools, allowing you to easily monitor your worldwide operations, review historic changes or
impacts, and assess potential risks and opportunities.
It provides a platform for building and sharing mission-critical data projects in many situations around the world, such as:
Monitoring supply chain impacts and information
Scoping and due diligence on investments in land based assets
Environmental Impact Assessment for infrastructure projects and new development
Mapping and quantification of resources, impacts, risks and opportunities
Demonstrating or checking compliance to environmental legislation or green claims
Monitoring changes to vegetation, water and other resources in your areas of interest
Disaster response management and evaluation of aid programmes

Ecometrica
Ecometrica creates intelligent software to clarify the understanding of environmental impacts. Our mission is to make
environmental accounting accessible to all organisations through web- based services that distil our knowledge and experience.
We are approachable and passionate experts who will provide correct answers to your GHG and spatial data information
questions.
Our approach is to bring clarity to environmental metrics though the application of intelligent, accurate and intuitive market-leading
SaaS solutions. We work with partners and provide tools to deliver accurate, complete and relevant information faster and more
efficiently than any other method. Ecometrica services strive to bring value-added environmental benefits to any organisation.
Our analysts have strong international research expertise and over 50 years of combined experience in environmental accounting.
Our knowledge and experience is highly sought- after, and our senior team are often invited to train and teach on business
courses including the Masters in Carbon Management at the University of Edinburgh, business innovation at the Univeristy of
Edinburgh Business School, and professional development courses at Imperial College London.
