About
This dataset provides a detailed overview of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by country, highlighting the impact of greenhouse gas emissions on the Earth's climate. CO2 is produced by various human activities, including the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. Understanding each country's emissions is vital for developing effective climate policies and mitigating climate change effects. It serves as an important resource for comprehending the global climate challenge and for devising strategies to reduce CO2 emissions globally.
Columns
- country_code: A unique code identifying each country. Contains 255 distinct values.
- country_name: The full name of the country. Contains 256 distinct country names.
- year: The year for which the CO2 emission data is recorded, ranging from 1960 to 2019.
- value: The CO2 emissions measured in kilotons (kt). Values range from approximately -80.7 kt to 34.3 million kt.
Distribution
The dataset is provided as a CSV file, typically found in this format. The specific file is
co2_emissions_kt_by_country.csv and it has a size of 495.45 kB. It consists of 4 columns and approximately 14,000 records.Usage
