How this figure is calculated
Annual Net Emissions/Removals (Greenhouse gas, Total, Metric ton of CO₂) divided by GDP (current US$), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Annual Net Emissions/Removals (Greenhouse gas, Total, Metric ton of CO₂) ÷ GDP (current US$)
Computed from
- Annual Net Emissions/Removals International Monetary Fund
- GDP Country official statistics, National Statistical Organizations and/or Central Banks
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.
