CAIT - Country Greenhouse Gas Emissions Data

The CAIT Country GHG emissions collection applies a consistent methodology to create a six-gas, multi-sector, and internationally comparable data set for 186 countries.

CAIT enables data analysis by allowing users to quickly narrow down by year, gas, country/state, and sector. Automatic calculations for percent changes from prior year, per capita, and per GDP are also available. Users are presented with clear and customizable data visualizations that can be readily shared through unique URLs or embedded for further use online.

Data for Land-Use and Forestry indicator are provided by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). WRI has been granted a non-exclusive, non-transferrable right to publish these data. Therefore, if users wish to republish this dataset in whole or in part, they should contact FAO directly at copyright@fao.org
