Climate Watch Country Greenhouse Gas Emissions Data and Methodology

The Climate Watch Country Greenhouse Gas Emissions Data provides comprehensive, comparable GHG emissions data for 193 countries and the European Union from 1990 onwards, covering all GHG types and sectors including energy, industrial processes, agriculture, waste, and LULUCF. The dataset typically operates with a three-year reporting lag, such as reporting 2020 data in 2023, and aims to help countries identify mitigation opportunities and compare emission profiles.

• The Climate Watch dataset provides comparable greenhouse gas emissions data for 193 countries and the European Union, with records beginning in 1990.
• The emissions data covers all greenhouse gases across five specific sectors: energy, industrial processes, agriculture, waste, and land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF).
• There is typically a three-year lag in the availability of the latest data; for instance, data from 2020 was reported in 2023.
