Greenhouse gas emissions by country How do greenhouse gas emissions vary across the world? This interactive chart shows annual greenhouse gas emissions — the amount a given country produces each year — across the world. Again, this is measured in tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents., Human emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are the primary drivers of the global rise in temperatures.1 This link between global temperatures and greenhouse gas concentrations – especially CO2 – has been true throughout Earth’s history.2 In the chart, we see the global average temperature relative to a baseline, which is the average between 1861 and 1890. This gives us , In some years, land use emissions can be ‘negative’, if a country sequesters a lot of CO 2 through reforestation or carbon sequestration. If land use change emissions are negative, total greenhouse gas emissions can appear to be lower than CO 2 emissions from fossil fuels., Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from energy and material production can arise from various sources and fuel types: coal, oil, gas, cement production, and gas flaring. As global and national energy systems have transitioned over centuries and decades, the contribution of different fuel sources to CO2 emissions has changed both geographically and temporally. In this article we look at the , By country: greenhouse gas emissions by sector Annual greenhouse gas emissions by sector Where do our greenhouse gas emissions come from? This chart shows the breakdown of total greenhouse gases (the sum of all greenhouse gases, measured in tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents) by sector., Who emits the most CO2 each year? 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. Here each inner rectangle represents a country – which are then nested and colored by region. The size of each rectangle corresponds to its .
