Climate Watch Country Greenhouse Gas Emissions Data and Methodology

This technical note describes the sources and methodologies used by the World Resources Institute to compile the Climate Watch Country Greenhouse Gas Emissions Data, which provides comparable emissions data for 193 countries and the European Union.

• The Climate Watch Country Greenhouse Gas Emissions Data provides comprehensive and comparable greenhouse gas emissions data for 193 countries and the European Union, with data coverage beginning in 1990.
• The dataset typically reports emissions data with a three-year lag, as evidenced by the reporting of 2020 emissions data in 2023.
• The GHG inventories cover all greenhouse gases across five specific sectors: energy, industrial processes, agriculture, waste, and land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF).
