Issue: Services provided by the environment to human settlements - Minerals (including non-renewable energy sources)
This is an issue under the Human settlements theme of the Data Reporting System.
Why we need to know about this issue
Human settlements are sustained through a number of services that are received from the environment. These services provide the resource inputs to human settlements and may be degraded on by wastes and emissions generated by them.
These services include minerals and energy fuels.
Indicators
- LD-11 Total energy value of land-based energy fuels from non-living sources produced in Australia
Energy from both terrestrial and marine sources provides an essential contribution to human settlements. - LD-12 Quantity and dollar value of raw materials from non-living terrestrial sources
Minerals from both terrestrial and marine sources provides an essential contribution to human settlements. - CO-10 Total energy production from the Australian marine environment
A substantial proportion of the energy used in human settlements in Australia derives from coastal and marine sources, primarily gas and petroleum. - CO-47 Quantity and dollar value of raw materials from non-living marine sources
A proportion of the minerals used in human settlements in Australia derives from marine sources.
