About this data
Environmental goods include both goods connected to environmental protectionâsuch as goods related to pollution management and resource managementâand adapted goodsâwhich are goods that have been specifically modified to be more âenvironmentally friendlyâ or âcleaner.â Comparative advantage is a measure of the relative advantage or disadvantage a particular country has in a certain class of goods (in this case, environmental goods), and can be used to evaluate export potential in that class of goods. Environmental goods include both goods connected to environmental protectionâsuch as goods related to pollution management and resource managementâand adapted goodsâwhich are goods that have been specifically modified to be more âenvironmentally friendlyâ or âcleaner.â A value greater than one indicates a relative advantage in environmental goods, while a value of less than one indicates a relative disadvantage.
