Description

This dataset contains data presented on theWorld Emissions Clock hosted by the World Data Lab. The World Emissions Clock provides trajectories of future greenhouse gas emissions until 2050 for 180 countries, five main sectors and up to 24 subsectors, and three different scenarios. These hypothetical scenarios are: Business as usual (BAU), where technological advancement and policy-making roughly follows past trends without major shifts. Nationally determined contributions (NDC), where countries fully implement their unconditional climate pledges as submitted to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Achieving 1.5C, where secotral emissions within countries follow a cost-efficient pathway towards limiting global warming to 1.5 Celsius by 2100. For further information, see the Methodology section of the World Emissions Clock. Contact wec@worlddata.io for access information. The World Emissions Clock was created in a cooperation of the World Data Lab with the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), the Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU Vienna), and the University of Oxford and was supported from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ), and the Patrick J. McGovern Foundation.
