The ESI variables Dashboard (© Yale/JJ) shows how The Dashboard Collection indicators could be used to assess the overall performance of countries. This dashboard is structured as follows:

The Environmental Sustainability Index is composed of 5 sub-indices: (in brackets: No. of indicators) - System (17) - Stress (21) - Vulner (7) - Cap (24) - Global (7) The database contains 76 indicators for 145 countries.
