Figure sources
Several figures used in this report were redrawn from figures included in the technical assessment reports in the chapters referenced in the figure captions. Preparation of several figures involved additional information as follows:
Figure SDM 1 – Harmful effects of ecosystem change on human health. The figure represents a synthesis of information on ecosystem health links from throughout the MA; most importantly from C14, R12, R16 and S11.
Figure 1.4 – Access to improved water and sanitation facilities globally. The source figures (C7 Fig 7.13 and 7.14) are based on World Health Organization and United Nations Children’s Fund, Global Water Supply and Sanitation Assessment 2000 Report, Geneva, World Health Organization – updated for 2002 using the WHO online database.
Figure 1.5 – Child mortality. The figure is based on the most recent child mortality statistics reported in the World Health Report 2005, Make every mother and child count, Geneva, World Health Organization, 2005.
Figure 1.6 – Percentage of households using solid fuel for cooking. The figure is based on data cited in R16, originally reported in the World Health Report 2002, Reducing risks, promoting healthy life, Geneva, World Health Organization, 2002.
