Fugitive Emissions Sector Contribution to GHG Growth 2012-2018

Fugitive emissions sector data quantifies its percentage contribution to total greenhouse gas emission growth from 2012 to 2018. World Bank staff calculated this using historical GHG emissions data from the World Resource Institute's Climate Watch platform. The underlying source data covers 194 countries and the EU for the period 1990-2018.

Use Cases

• Ranking the fugitive emissions sector against other sectors using its percentage contribution to total growth for policy prioritization.
• Analyzing temporal trends in the fugitive emissions growth contribution percentage across the 2012-2018 period.
• Benchmarking a country's fugitive emissions growth contribution against regional or global aggregates.
• Correlating fugitive emissions growth contribution with economic or energy production indicators from other datasets.

Strengths

• Data derived from a source covering 194 countries and the European Union.
• Covers a defined 7-year period (2012-2018) for trend analysis.
• Emissions data standardized using IPCC global warming potential values.

Limitations

• Specific row count, column names, and sample data are unavailable.
• The dataset is a derived aggregate, limiting analysis of underlying raw emissions.
• Data ends in 2018, which may not reflect recent policy or economic changes.
