References to non-UNFCCC data sources

To find an estimate for global CO2 and GHG emissions, and/or estimates for the shares of Annex I and non-Annex I Parties in global emissions

The UNFCCC secretariat does not make estimates of global CO2 and GHG emissions, because the requirements for reporting GHG data are different for Annex I and non-Annex I Parties. For such data, other organizations can be consulted, see the links provided in the column to the right.

Data from the International Energy Agency (IEA)

Data from the Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center (CDIAC, US)
