The goal of planetaryhdi is to make data provide a cleaned datasets of planetary pressures-adjusted HDI Index for all countries.

Installation

You can install the development version of planetaryhdi from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("openwashdata/planetaryhdi")
## Run the following code in console if you don't have the packages
## install.packages(c("dplyr", "knitr", "readr", "stringr", "gt", "kableExtra"))
library(dplyr)
library(knitr)
library(readr)
library(stringr)
library(gt)
library(kableExtra)

Alternatively, you can download the individual datasets as a CSV or XLSX file from the table below.

  1. Click Download CSV. A window opens that displays the CSV in your browser.
  2. Right-click anywhere inside the window and select “Save Page As…”.
  3. Save the file in a folder of your choice.

For an overview of the variable names, see the following table.

variable_name variable_type description
hdi_rank numeric Rank by HDI
country character Name of the country
hdi numeric Human Development Index (HDI): A composite index measuring average achievement in three basic dimensions of human developmenta long and healthy life, knowledge and a decent standard of living. See Technical note 1 at for details on how the HDI is calculated.
phdi numeric Planetary pressures-adjusted HDI (PHDI): HDI value adjusted by the level of carbon dioxide emissions and material footprint per capita to account for the excessive human pressure on the planet. It should be seen as an incentive for transformation. See Technical note 6 at for details on how the PHDI is calculated.
pct_diff_hdi numeric Percentage Difference in HDI and Planetary HDI (caluclated as: \[HDI - PHDI\] / HDI)
rank_diff_hdi numeric Difference in rank between PHDI and HDI. Expressed as Rank(phdi) - Rank(hdi)
adj_factor numeric Adjustment factor for planetary pressures: Arithmetic average of the carbon dioxide emissions index and the material footprint index, both defined below. A high value implies less pressure on the planet.
tco2_per_capita_prod numeric Carbon dioxide emissions per capita (production): carbon dioxide emissions produced as a consequence of human activities (use of coal, oil and gas for combustion and industrial processes, gas flaring and cement manufacture), divided by midyear population. Values are territorial emissions, meaning that emissions are attributed to the country in which they physically occur.
co2_emissions_index numeric Carbon dioxide emissions (production) index: Carbon dioxide emissions per capita (production-based) expressed as an index using a minimum value of 0 and a maximum value of 76.61 tonnes per capita. A high value of this index implies less pressure to the planet.
material_footprint_per_capita numeric Material footprint per capita: Material Footprint (MF) is the attribution of global material extraction to domestic final demand of a country. The total material footprint is the sum of the material footprint for biomass, fossil fuels, metal ores and non-metal ores. This indicator is calculated as raw material equivalent of imports (RMEIM) plus domestic extraction (DE) minus raw material equivalents of exports (RMEEX). Per-capita MF describes the average material use for final demand.
material_footprint_index numeric Material footprint index: Material footprint per capita expressed as an index using a minimum value of 0 and a maximum value of 140.82 tonnes per capita. A high value of this index implies less pressure to the planet.
iso3c character ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country code}
