World · GHG emissions

Primary KPI: one of the key indicators tracked first for this country.Total greenhouse-gas emissions, in million tonnes of CO2 equivalent; cutting it is the climate goal.· Every series comes from ONE dataset: the countries Citoyen covers and the world total are read together, from the same source and the same release. « Rest of the world » is the world total minus the 19 countries covered (the European Union is left out, it contains France, Germany and Italy and would be counted twice). The six largest countries on the indicator are drawn on their own, the other covered countries are grouped. A year is drawn only when every country and the world are published: a missing country would otherwise land in « rest of the world » as a fake jump.· Total greenhouse gas emissions (CO2, methane, nitrous oxide, fluorinated gases), in million tonnes of CO2 equivalent (AR5 global warming potentials), excluding land use, land-use change and forestry. EDGAR (European Commission, Joint Research Centre) data, published by the World Bank (EN.GHG.ALL.MT.CE.AR5). Emissions are counted where they are produced, not where the goods are consumed.· Licence : Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 · source: World Bank, World Development Indicators· Published Nov 11, 2026
