Mismanaged plastic waste is waste that is not recycled, incinerated, or kept in sealed landfills. It includes materials burned in open pits, dumped into seas or open waters, or disposed of in unsanitary landfills and dumpsites.
Each item's share of total litter in nearshore waters, which are within 100 kilometers of the coast.
Coral bleaching typically occurs when water temperatures rise above the normal range for the coral's habitat. This is more likely during El Niño stages of the ENSO cycle when tropical sea temperatures are warmer.

Mismanaged plastic waste includes materials burned in open pits, dumped into seas or open waters, or disposed of in unsanitary landfills and dumpsites. Projections are based on the "business-as-usual" scenario which assumes that current policies remain unchanged in the foreseeable future.
This measures total plastic waste generation prior to management and therefore does not represent the quantity of plastic at risk of polluting waterways, rivers and the ocean environment.
Daily plastic waste generation per person, measured in kilograms per person per day. This measures the overall per capita plastic waste generation rate prior to waste management, recycling or incineration. It does not therefore directly indicate the risk of pollution to waterways or marine environments.
The share of coral reefs in the Caribbean where major reef-building group of corals, _Acropora_, was dominant or present. The declines show the loss of coral cover as a result of pressures including water pollution, disease outbreaks, and coral bleaching.
"Excess nitrogen" is the difference between nutrient inputs (from fertilizers, manure, and fixation from legumes) and the amount harvested in crop material. This represents nitrogen that is lost to the environment and can create ecological imbalances in ecosystems and water bodies.
"Excess phosphorus" is the difference between nutrient inputs (from fertilizers and manure) and the amount harvested in crop material. This represents phosphorus that is lost to the environment and can create ecological imbalances on ecosystems and in water bodies.

Share of energy production by traditional energy carrier, measured as the percentage of total energy production, from 1850-2000. "Muscle energy corresponds to the input of food by men and working animals; firewood to the actual consumption; wind and water have been estimated from the power of water and wind engines – sailing ships included – and the time, per year, these engines were in use”.
Each item's share of total litter in aquatic environments, including rivers, shorelines and offshore waters.
Estimated annual number of deaths from diarrheal diseases per 100,000 children under five, versus the percentage of people with access to basic handwashing facilities, including soap and water.
Estimated annual number of deaths attributed to lack of access to handwashing facilities. Here the attributable burden is the number of deaths that would no longer occur if the entire population had access to a handwashing station with available soap and water.
Estimated annual number of deaths attributed to unsafe sanitation. Here the attributable burden is the number of deaths that would no longer occur if the entire population had access to high-quality piped water.
Estimated number of current cases of diarrheal diseases. Diarrheal diseases are caused by various pathogens such viruses and bacteria and can be spread through contaminated food or drinking water, or between people directly.
