This dataset is about continents. It has 3 columns: continent, carbon dioxide emissions (CO2), and greenhouse gas emissions (CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs, SF6). The data is ordered by population (descending).

There are 3 fields used in this dataset (including filters):
  • Continent: Name of continent.
  • Carbon Dioxide Emissions (Co2): A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agriculture, energy, waste, and industrial sectors, excluding LULUCF.. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5). Carbon dioxide emissions are those stemming from the burning of fossil fuels and the manufacture of cement. They include carbon dioxide produced during consumption of solid, liquid, and gas fuels and gas flaring. This field is expressed in Mt of CO2 equivalent.
  • Greenhouse Gas Emissions (Co2, Ch4, N2o, Hfcs, Pfcs, Sf6): A measure of annual emissions of the six greenhouse gases (GHG) covered by the Kyoto Protocol (carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulphurhexafluoride (SF6)) from the energy, industry, waste, and agriculture sectors, standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values. This measure excludes GHG fluxes caused by Land Use Change Land Use and Forestry (LULUCF), as these fluxes have larger uncertainties. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5). This field is expressed in Mt of CO2 equivalent.
