    Domestic material consumption by material

    The indicator Domestic Material Consumption (DMC) is defined as the total amount of material directly used in an economy. DMC equals Direct Material Input (DMI) minus exports and Domestic Extraction (DE) plus imports. (source: Eurostat, http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/cache/metadata/EN/tsdpc230_esmsip.htm)

    Resource productivity (GDP/Domestic Material Consumption)

    Resource productivity is defined as the ratio between gross domestic product (GDP) and domestic material consumption (DMC). The indicator Domestic Material Consumption (DMC) is based on the Economy-wide Material Flow Accounts (EW-MFA).

    The indicator is the lead indicator of the resource efficiency scoreboard

    Share of renewable energy in gross final energy consumption

    This indicator provides the share of renewable energies based on the final energy consumption of a country.

    Daily calorie supply per capita by source - total

    This indicator shows the total daily calorie supply per capita and the split into calories from animal products and vegetal products .

    Modal split of freight transport

    This indicator is defined as the percentage share of each mode of transport in total inland freight transport/ It includes transport by road, rail and inland waterways. .

    Modal split of passenger transport

    This indicator is defined as the percentage share of each mode of transport in total inland transport. Total inland transport includes transport by passenger cars, buses and coaches, and trains.

    Pollutant emissions from transport

    "Pollutant emissions transport" measures the transport emissions of NOx, NMVOCs and particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5). It is structured as a benchmark, having an index pegged at year 2000 (index 2000 = 100).

    Recycling rate of municipal waste (%)

    The recycling rate is the tonnage recycled from municipal waste divided by the total municipal waste arising.
    Recycling includes material recycling, composting and anaerobic digestion. Municipal waste consists to a large extent of waste generated by households, but may also include similar wastes generated by small businesses and public institutions and collected by the municipality
    The indicator is a part of the "resource efficiency scoreboard"

    Physical Trade Balance (PTB)

    The trade surplus or deficit of material resources within an economy, calculated as imports minus exports of raw materials and manufactured products.

    Municipal waste generation

    Municipal waste includes household waste and similar waste.

    The definition excludes:
    •waste from municipal sewage network and treatment,
    •municipal construction and demolition waste.
    (intensities can be chosen in the list, but has no data)

    Abiotic material productivity incl. industrial minerals and metals, US$ per kg

    The OECD green growth indicators 2014 does not give a definition. The definition can be deduced from the following definitions (OECD, green growth indicators 2014):

    Share of energy from renewable sources

    The contribution of renewables, i.e. energy from hydro, geothermal, solar, wind, tide and wave source as well as biofuels and the renewable fraction of municipal waste as percentage of total primary energy supply. (source: OECD)

    Global Green Economy Index

    The Global Green Economy Index comprises the Green Perception Survey and the Green Performance Index. Themes investigated are environmental performance, climate change, natural capital, environmental industries and investment, and leadership on these issues.

    Green investments (to capture potential source of transformational change)

    The Green Transition Scoreboard tracks private sector investments in the global economy, relevant to renewable energy, energy efficiency, water (2014 theme), research and development and green technologies (i.e. clean tech).

    Production-based CO2 productivity

    GDP generated per unit of CO2 emitted through fuel consumption

    Demand-based CO2 productivity

    Real national income per unit of CO2 emitted at various stages of production of the goods and services consumed in domestic final demand, irrespective of where the stages of production occurred. Trends in emissions on this basis serve as a diagnostic complement to the more traditional production based measures.

    Complete Energy Balance Sheets

    An energy balance sheet calculates energy entering, exiting and used within the national territory of a given country during a reference period. The indicator covers the gross inland consumption of all energy related products.

    Resource Efficiency Scoreboard

    The Resource efficiency scoreboard is a tool / user interface for presenting key indicators relating to natural resources. For this scoreboard, a limited set of already available indicators was selected, covering as many as possible of the themes and subthemes identified in the Roadmap to a resource efficient Europe. It is a three tier system based on a lead indicator, a dashboard of indicators and a set of theme specific indicators:
    - One Lead indicator – focus on resource productivity
    - 9 Dashboard indicators with focus on carbon, water and land;
