CO2 emissions

co2_emissions.Rd

This dataset represents CO2 emissions for a subset of country over the period 1990 - 2022.

Usage

co2_emissions

Format

A data frame with 495 observations and 11 variables:

  • country : Country - Geographic location.

  • year : Year - Year of observation.

  • co2 : Annual CO2 emissions - Annual total emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), excluding land-use change, measured in million tonnes.

  • co2_per_gdp : Annual CO2 emissions per GDP (kg per international-$) - Annual total emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), excluding land-use change, measured in kilograms per dollar of GDP (2011 international-$).

  • co2_per_capita : Annual CO2 emissions (per capita) - Annual total emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), excluding land-use change, measured in tonnes per person.

  • co2_growth_abs : Annual CO2 emissions growth (abs) - Annual growth in total emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), excluding land-use change, measured in million tonnes.

  • co2_growth_prct : Annual CO2 emissions growth (%) - Annual percentage growth in total emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), excluding land-use change.

  • co2_per_unit_energy : Annual CO2 emissions per unit energy (kg per kilowatt-hour) - Annual total emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), excluding land-use change, measured in kilograms per kilowatt-hour of primary energy consumption.

  • consumption_co2 : Annual consumption-based CO2 emissions - Annual consumption-based emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), measured in million tonnes.

  • consumption_co2_per_capita : Per capita consumption-based CO2 emissions - Annual consumption-based emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), measured in tonnes per person.

  • consumption_co2_per_gdp : Annual consumption-based CO2 emissions per GDP (kg per international-$) - Annual consumption-based emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), measured in kilograms per dollar of GDP (2011 international-$).
