How this figure is calculated
The year-on-year percentage change in CO₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change. Computed from consecutive annual observations; years either side of a gap are skipped rather than bridged.
Computed from
- CO₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change Global Carbon Budget (2025) – with major processing by Our World in Data
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.
