U.S. Minor Outlying Islands: GHG and Air Pollutant Emissions since 2015

Climate TRACE provides greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions data for the United States Minor Outlying Islands, featuring annual country-level records since 2015 and monthly source-level data since 2021. The inventory tracks emissions across specific sub-sectors and gases, derived from a global database of over 2.7 million sources. This dataset is maintained by the Climate TRACE non-profit coalition.
