Definition & method

Territorial fossil-fuel and industrial CO₂ emissions, excluding land-use change. Original OWID country-year co2 field; no unit conversion.

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

What to keep in mind

  • Territorial emissions exclude land-use change and emissions embedded in imported goods.
  • Values are in million tonnes; this is not CO₂-equivalent for all greenhouse gases.
  • Historical estimates can be revised.
