Figure Sources
Most 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 11 (and Figure 3.4)
The source Figure from CF Box 2.4 was updated to 2003/04 with data from Northern Cod (2J+3KL) Stock Status Update, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, March 2004. </dd>
Figure 14 (and Figure 1.5)
The source Figure (R9 Fig 9.1) was modified to include the addition of projected human inputs in 2050 based on data included in the original source for R9 Fig 9.1: Galloway, J.P., et al., 2004, Biogeochemistry 70: 153–226. </dd>
Figure 1.6
The source Figure (R9 Fig 9.2) was modified to include two additional deposition maps for 1860 and 2050 that had been included in the original source for R9 Fig 9.2: Galloway, J.P., et al., 2004, Biogeochemistry 70: 153–226. </dd>

Figure 3.1
This Figure was developed from the database cited in C5.2.6 using World Bank figures for “adjusted net savings” for 2001, downloaded from lnweb18.worldbank.org/ ESSD/envext.nsf/44ByDocName/Green AccountingAdjustedNetSavings on January 25, 2005.</dd>
Figure 3.6
The source Figure (S7 Fig 7.3) is based on Figure 3-9 in Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change, 2000: Special Report on Emissions Scenarios, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, U.K. </dd>
Figures 4.1 and 4.2
The source Figures (S7 Figs 7.6a and 7.6b) are based on data downloaded from the online World Bank database and reported in World Bank, 2004: World Development Report 2004: Making Services Work for Poor People, World Bank, Washington D.C. </dd>
Figure 8.1

The World Resources Institute (WRI) is an environmental think tank that goes beyond research to find practical ways to protect the earth and improve people's lives.
Our mission is to move human society to live in ways that protect Earth's environment and its capacity to provide for the needs and aspirations of current and future generations.
Because people are inspired by ideas, empowered by knowledge, and moved to change by greater understanding, WRI provides—and helps other institutions pro ... (Full Bio)
