Global Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Total (Including and Excluding LULUCF) and Per Capita

Information Comments (0)

This dataset provides a focused look at total annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for countries worldwide, using data from the World Bank's indicators, primarily sourced from the EDGAR (Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research) Community GHG Database. It features two critical measures, both standardized to CO2 equivalent values based on the IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5) Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors:

  • Total GHG Emissions Including LULUCF (Mt CO2e): This comprehensive indicator (EN.GHG.ALL.LU.MT.CE.AR5) covers emissions from all major sectors—energy, industry, waste, agriculture, and Land Use, Land Use Change, and Forestry (LULUCF).
  • Total GHG Emissions Excluding LULUCF (Mt CO2e): This indicator (EN.GHG.ALL.MT.CE.AR5) provides a measure of emissions from energy, industry, waste, and agriculture, intentionally excluding LULUCF fluxes due to their higher uncertainties.
  • Total GHG Emissions Excluding LULUCF per Capita (t CO2e/capita): This metric (EN.GHG.ALL.PC.CE.AR5) normalizes the "excluding LULUCF" emissions by the economy's population, providing insight into individual contributions to climate change.

By providing both perspectives, this dataset allows for nuanced analysis of national contributions to climate change, distinguishing between emissions from core economic activities and those influenced by land management.
