On this page, you can find our data, visualizations, and writing on co2 and other greenhouse gas emissions. This chart shows per capita co2 emissions from coal, oil, gas, flaring, and cement, measured in tonnes of co2 per year In discussions on climate change, we tend to focus on carbon dioxide (co2) — the most dominant greenhouse gas produced by the burning of fossil fuels, industrial production, and land use change

However, co2 is not the only greenhouse gas that is driving global climate change.
This chart shows the distribution of co2 emissions across sectors
This allows us to understand how much of the total co 2 emissions to date has been emitted by a given country. The source for this co2 data is the global carbon budget, a dataset we update yearly as soon as it is published Carbon dioxide (coâ‚‚) emissions from burning fossil fuels and industrial processes In the treemap visualization we show annual co2 emissions by country, and aggregated by region
Treemaps are used to compare entities (such as countries or regions) in relation to others, and relative to the total. Running sum of coâ‚‚ emissions produced from fossil fuels and industry since the first year of recording, measured in tonnes
