How this figure is calculated
Global warming contributions from fossil fuels and land use divided by Land area (sq. km), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Global warming contributions from fossil fuels and land use ÷ Land area (sq. km)
Computed from
- Global warming contributions from fossil fuels and land use Jones et al. (2025) – with major processing by Our World in Data
- Land area FAOSTAT, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
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.
