Climate Watch: Trends in GHG Emissions and NDCs. Per country. And much more. For free.

Have you heard about Climate Watch?

Various greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions datasets that can be downloaded and dynamically visualized and analyzed by country and sector, as well as over time.

For free.

Carbon Credit Markets was invited to attended an interactive training last Tuesday to learn how to use Climate Watch and particularly to gain insights on recent trends in global GHG emissions and countries’ climate commitments. It was a great experience.

See below what Climate Watch includes. And click at the links to check. You will like.

  1. Greenhouse gases targets set by any country (e individual States from the USA)

  2. Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) of countries, under the Paris Agreement

  3. Agriculture, sector profile for emissions and climate action trends

  4. Comparative of all targets: emissions, climate vulnerability, and national climate targets across multiple countries

  5. Historical GHG emissions (CO2, CH4, N2O, F-Gas) and future economic and emissions scenarios

  6. Planned actions by mid-century via countries’ Long-term Strategies

  7. Data visualizations, that can be download or embed in your own website

The tool was implemented by World Resources Institute (WRI) in collaboration with several organisations and consolidates data officially reported by national governments under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, World Bank, United Nations Development Programme, Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, among others.

You should recall that WRI and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) were responsible for the introduction of the GHG Protocol back in 1998.
