Cook Islands Greenhouse Gas Emissions by Sub-Sector and Gas Type (2015-2026)

Climate TRACE provides annual and monthly greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions data for the Cook Islands, covering country-level metrics from 2015 and source-level data from 2021. The inventory includes emissions categorized by sub-sector and gas type, derived from a global database of over 2.7 million sources and 744 million assets.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in specific greenhouse gases using the 'gas' and 'annual' or 'monthly' emission fields
• Identifying high-emission industries within the Cook Islands by filtering the 'sub-sector' column
• Assessing the reliability of emission estimates for specific assets using the 'confidence' score provided for source-level data

Strengths

• Provides dual temporal resolutions with annual country-level and monthly source-level data
• Includes confidence scores for source-level emission estimates
• Covers multiple gas types and specific sub-sector categories

Limitations

• Emissions are modeled estimates rather than direct sensor measurements
• Source-level data has a shorter historical range (starting 2021) compared to country-level data (starting 2015)
• Asset ownership data is inconsistent across the inventory
