Environment, energy & climate

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

World · Electricity generation

Electricity generated in the year, all sources, in terawatt-hours (Ember yearly electricity data, CC BY 4.0). For the World, the card splits the total between the countries Citoyen covers and the rest of the world.· 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).

Generation is counted where the power plant is, not where the electricity is consumed.· Licence : Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 · source: Ember, yearly electricity data· Published Nov 3, 2026

World · Renewable electricity generation

World · Installed solar PV capacity

Net maximum electrical capacity of solar PV: build-out pace of the most visible renewable technology.· 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.· Installed solar photovoltaic capacity at the end of the year, in megawatts (Ember yearly electricity data, CC BY 4.0, from IRENA and national sources). Capacity is the maximum output, not the electricity produced.· Licence : Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 · source: Ember, yearly electricity data· Published Nov 3, 2026
