EDGARv6.0 provides emissions of the three main greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4, N2O) and fluorinated gases per sector and country. CO2 emissions are provided separately for CO2_excl_short-cycle_org_C...

Human activities and the corresponding anthropogenic emissions into the atmosphere show marked temporal variations, from inter-annual to hourly levels. Yearly emissions might be unable, for example, to adequately...

Forests harbour a large proportion of the Earth’s terrestrial biodiversity, which continues to be lost at an alarming rate. Deforestation is the single most important driver of forest biodiversity...

Timeseries of fossil CO2 from 1970 till 2021 for all world countries with sector-specific break-down. CO2 LULUCF emissions from 1990 to 2021 by macro-regions.

This in-depth analysis requested by the European Parliament's Committee on International Trade (INTA) proposes eleven measures that could be considered to promote sustainable forestry and deforestation-free value...

Timeseries of fossil CO2 from 1970 till 2020, GHG from 1970 till 2018 for all world countries with sector-specific break-down. CO2 LULUCF emissions for 2000, 2005...

Mitigation pathways by Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) describe future emissions that keep global warming below specific temperature limits and are compared with countries’ collective...

Global Forest Watch offers the latest data, technology and tools that empower people everywhere to better protect forests.

Intentionally allowing or promoting invasion by non‐native trees into areas characterized by treeless vegetation could contribute to climate‐change mitigation by increasing carbon (C) sequestration. In some areas...

Urgent solutions to global climate change are needed. Ambitious tree‐planting initiatives, many already underway, aim to sequester enormous quantities of carbon to partly compensate...
