Global Warming Index (GW) — measured by the amount carbon dioxide emissions in metric tons. Global warming is the process of gradual rise of average annual temperature of the Earth atmosphere and the World Ocean. As stated by the United Nations Interstate commission of experts on climate changing (ICECC), and national academies of sciences of G-8 countries, the average temperature on the Earth has risen by 1°C from the end of XIX century, and “major part of the warming observed in the last 50 years is caused by human activity”, first of all, it is due to emissions of the gases causing greenhouse effect, such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4).

Corruption Perception Index (CP) — ordering the countries of the world according to "the degree to which corruption is perceived to exist among public officials and politicians" (varying from 0to 10, where 0 – maximum corruption level, 10 – minimum). Corruption poses a formidable obstacle to economic growth and social evolution. It undermines any positive transformations. Corruption has become not only the major reason for poverty, but also the main impediment of overcoming it. Although corruption is rooted in ancient times, its "explosion" occurred at the end of XX, the beginning of XXI centuries in the course of the sweeping globalization. Corruption in one country has begun negatively affect development of other countries.

Global Diseases Index (GD) — spreading of global diseases — measured by the summarized number of people (millions per year) who died of cancer, ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease (paralysis), HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. During the following twenty two years they expect a considerable growth of mortality as a result of all global diseases, especially of HIV/AIDS, with some decrease of mortality due to tuberculosis and malaria. In particular, the mortality of HIV/AIDS is going to increase from 2.2 million in 2008 up to 6.5 million in 2030. During this period four main global diseases will be ischemic cardiac disease, cerebrovascular disease, HIV/AIDS and lung cancer. The total mortality due to smoking will increase from 5.8 million people in 2008 up to 6.4 million in 2015 and up to 8.3 million in 2030. Thus, it is expected that in 2015 tobacco will kill by 50 % more people than HIV/AIDS, and 10 % of the total mortality will be determined by tobacco smoking.

Footprint Balance Index (FB) — unbalance between the biological capability of the Earth and the mankind’s needs in biosphere and a change of the world demographic structure (measured in global hectares per capita). Ecological footprint defines what area is required to maintain the available population proceeding from the current level of consumption, technological development and the efficiency of the use of natural resources. The unit of measurement for this indicator is the averaged global (for the total Earth) hectare. The most essential constituents of ecological footprint are the earth territory used for food production, wood and biofuel, the area of oceans (seas) used for fishery and the most important element is the earth area required for maintaining the plants which absorb СО2 emissions resulting from organic fuel burning. Ecological footprint takes into account the fact that in the world economy people consume resources and ecological services from all over the world. Due to this the indicator for a given country may exceed its actual biological capabilities. Based on this the essence of ecological footprint for a country is a measure of consumption and global impact on the environment.
