Map: Global CO2 Emissions

This map shows scenarios: 1) with no action (red circles) to stabilize our climate and 2)  meeting emissions targets (blue circles). 

Use the slider to view the changes over time. Hold your mouse over a region to view emissions numbers.

And we're looking for suggestions to make this map better. Our map specialist, Peter Black, asks for help with data sets and other improvements on his blog, Climate Atlas. Please share your thoughts there.

Notes and references

  • You might notice a little jump down in the size of the red circles between 2030 and 2035. This is an artifact of having to rely on several sources to assemble data for the full time period shown.
  • See the complete list of sources and an explanation of how they were assembled into this format.

And remember -- if you have suggestions please leave a comment  on the Climate Atlas blog!
