The interface is organized into Pressure - State - Impact - Response indicators. Each category has indicators according to various environmental topics. These topics range from economic and social development, through atmosphere and climate, to natural disasters.

You can also access statistics and other useful data to follow up developmental and environmental issues. Atlas CD contains information on more than 200 social, economic, and environmental indicators.

A glossary, bibliographic references, and technical notes are also included, together with simulation models of land use. These models can be used to explore the dynamics of the major land use indicators in the region's ecosystems enabling decision-makers and planners to research the impact and effect of development policies and strategies for land use.
