Data sources
- Country-level CO2 emissions from fossil fuels from Global, Regional, and National Fossil Fuel CO2 Emissions. Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center (CDIAC), Oak Ridge National Laboratory, U.S. Department of Energy.
- CO2 emissions from changes in land use from Carbon Flux to the Atmosphere from Land-Use Changes 1850-2005 Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center (CDIAC), Oak Ridge National Laboratory, U.S. Department of Energy.
- GDP and population from Statistics on World Population, GDP and Per Capita GDP, 1-2006 AD Conference Board and Groningen Growth and Development Centre, Total Economy Database.
- Business As Usual CO2 emissions projections are calibrated to the IPCC SRES scenarios with the International Energy Agency (IEA)’s World Energy Outlook 2007 allocations between regions.
- Population and GDP projections are based on the United Nations’ World Population Prospects 2004 forecast and IEA’s World Energy Outlook 2008 GDP forecast, respectively.
