CO2 emissions attributed to each dollar generated from manufacturing value added are measured in kilogrammes of CO2 per constant US dollars. The data originates from the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, specifically Indicator 9.4.1. The Country Climate and Development Report (CCDR) organization provides the data via the World Bank platform.
Use Cases
- Analyze trends in the 'CO2 emissions per dollar' metric to assess manufacturing decarbonization over time.
- Compare 'CO2 emissions per dollar' across different countries or regions to identify high-efficiency manufacturing economies.
- Model the relationship between manufacturing 'value added' and associated CO2 emissions for policy impact forecasting.
- Benchmark national performance against the UN Sustainable Development Goal 9.4.1 target using this specific indicator.
Strengths
- Data is aligned with a standardized UN Sustainable Development Goal indicator (9.4.1).
- The metric uses a constant dollar (2015 US$) for consistent economic value comparison.
Limitations
- The specific number of countries, years of coverage, and row count are unknown.
- The underlying calculation methodology for attributing CO2 emissions to manufacturing value added is not detailed.
- Data freshness and update frequency are unspecified.
Provenance
- Source
- United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (Indicator 9.4.1).
- Collection Method
- Attributed CO2 emissions per unit of manufacturing value added.
- Geography
- Likely country-level, but specific spatial coverage is unknown.
