Vanuatu: Greenhouse Gas and Air Pollutant Emissions (2015-2026)

Climate TRACE provides an inventory of greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions for Vanuatu, featuring annual country-level data since 2015 and monthly source-level data since 2021. The dataset covers emissions by sub-sector and gas type, derived from a global monitoring effort of over 2.7 million sources. It was produced by the Climate TRACE coalition and updated through March 2026.

Use Cases

• Tracking monthly fluctuations in specific gas emissions at the source level
• Comparing emissions across different industrial sub-sectors in Vanuatu
• Evaluating the uncertainty of climate models using the provided confidence scores

Strengths

• Monthly temporal resolution for source-level data since 2021
• Includes confidence scores for emission estimates
• Covers both greenhouse gases and air pollutants across multiple sub-sectors

Limitations

• Temporal gap between country-level (2015) and source-level (2021) start dates
• Incomplete ownership records for emission sources
