How this figure is calculated
Cumulative CO₂ emissions from flaring divided by Population, total, matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Cumulative CO₂ emissions from flaring ÷ Population, total
Computed from
- Cumulative co2 flaring 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.
