Manufacturing and Construction GHG Emissions for 195 Economies, 1990-2018

World Resource Institute's Climate Watch provides manufacturing and construction sector greenhouse gas emissions data for 194 countries and the European Union. The dataset covers the period from 1990 to 2018 and includes six major GHGs, with non-CO2 emissions converted to CO2 equivalents. Data is compiled by the World Resource Institute and published through the World Bank's Country Climate and Development Report platform.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between economic activity and sectoral emissions using country and year fields.
• Analyzing trends in manufacturing GHG emissions over the 1990-2018 time series for policy evaluation.
• Comparing emissions profiles across 195 economies using country-level data.
• Aggregating non-CO2 emissions expressed in CO2 equivalents for total sector impact assessment.

Strengths

• Covers 195 economies including the European Union.
• Provides a 29-year time series from 1990 to 2018.
• Includes emissions data for six major greenhouse gases.

Limitations

• Data ends in 2018, lacking recent years.
• Specific row and column counts are unknown.
• Sector definition may not align with all national inventories.
