Development Threat Index

The Development Threat Index data set is a terrestrial global, future development threat map based on combining these resources: agricultural expansion, urban expansion, conventional oil and gas, unconventional oil and gas, coal, mining, biofuels, solar, and wind. Each threat ranked potential development from 0-100 with 100 indicating the highest potential for future development of the resource and were produced at a 50 square kilometer (km2) grid cell resolution, excluding all cells overlapping Antarctica and those with >50% considered marine.
