SoE2020: Condition of marine ecosystem health
Queensland’s marine environments vary significantly in condition. Some are in good to very good condition while others do not meet standards for water quality. -
SoE2017: Trackable waste recovered
Putrescible and organic wastes made up 46% of trackable wastes recovered for recycling, reclamation, direct re-use or alternative use in Queensland in 2015–2016. -
SoE2017: Ozone concentrations
While ozone levels in Townsville and Gladstone have never exceeded air quality standards, South East Queensland experienced exceedances in 2011 and 2015. -
SoE2017: Industrial processes sector greenhouse gas emissions
Emissions from the industrial processes sector increased 11% between 2005 and 2016 due largely to increased use of replacements for ozone-depleting substances. -
SoE2017: Evaporation rate
Annual evaporation is typically much higher in inland parts of Queensland than in coastal and sub-coastal areas. -
SoE2017: Agriculture sector greenhouse gas emissions
Emissions from the agriculture sector decreased 6% between 2005 and 2016, mainly due to a decline in livestock numbers. -
SoE2015: Transport sector greenhouse gas emissions
Emissions from the transport sector have increased 18% between 2005 and 2014. Road transport including passenger cars was the main source of emissions. -
SoE2015: Ozone concentrations
While ozone levels in Townsville and Gladstone have never exceeded air quality standards, South East Queensland experienced exceedences in 2005, 2011 and 2015. -
SoE2015: Evaporation rate
In Queensland, potential evaporation is much higher than mean annual rainfall in semi-arid inland locations. -
SoE2015: Agriculture sector greenhouse gas emissions
Emissions from the agriculture sector have increased 6% between 2005 and 2014 mainly due to an increase in livestock numbers. -
SoE2020: Extent and rate of change of remnant native vegetation
The loss of remnant native vegetation in Queensland has been monitored since 1997 and reached a peak during 1999–2000 at which point 0.4% of the state’s remnant... -
SoE2020: Interstate construction and demolition waste received
While about 794,000 tonnes of construction and demolition waste generated interstate was transported to Queensland landfills for disposal, Queensland recyclers received a... -
SoE2017: Stationary energy sector greenhouse gas emissions
Emissions from the stationary energy sector increased by 14% between 2005 and 2016. This continues to be the highest source of Queensland’s emissions at 48% of total... -
SoE2017: Number of litter items for different site types
Emissions from the industrial processes sector increased 11% between 2005 and 2016 due largely to increased use of replacements for ozone-depleting substances. -
SoE2017: Freshwater wetland systems within protected areas
8.7% of ‘natural’ or ‘low modified’ freshwater wetlands in Queensland are within protected areas. -
SoE2015: Stationary energy sector greenhouse gas emissions
Emissions from the stationary energy sector decreased by 1% between 2005 and 2014 but it continues to be the highest source of Queensland's emissions at 44% of total emissions. -
SoE2015: Freshwater wetland systems within protected areas
Eight per cent of freshwater wetlands in Queensland are within protected areas. -
SoE2015: Main material types littered
Cigarette butts are the most common type of litter although they make up only a very small fraction of the total volume of litter. -
SoE2015: Visibility-reducing particles
Overall there has been a downward trend in the number of days with reduced visibility throughout Queensland over the past decade although significantly more days were affected... -
SoE2017: Waste sector greenhouse gas emissions
Emissions from the waste sector increased 17% between 2005 and 2016, however waste emissions have fallen since 2011 due to increased capture and combustion of landfill gas.
