Legend

There are 5 fields used in this dataset, including filters:

• 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.
• Continent: Continent the country is situated within.
• Country: Name of country.
• Date: Year period during which the metrics are collected. This field is expressed in year.
• Region: Region the country is situated within.
