How this figure is calculated
Annual CO₂ emissions from cement divided by Population, total, matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Annual CO₂ emissions from cement ÷ Population, total
Computed from
- Annual co2 cement Our World in Data
- Population, total World Population Prospects, United Nations (UN)
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
