В.3. Greenhouse gas emissions

download the file in Excel format for 1990–2022

Brief description:

Greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) are presented by ingredients (carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, sulphur hexafluoride. other) and by sectors (energy; industrial processes and product use; agriculture; waste; land use, land-use change and forestry);
GHGs are estimated per capita, per unit area and per unit of GDP by PPP.

Methodology:

GHGs are estimated using the recommendations of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC Guidelines 2006).

Data source:

The data producer is the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection of the Republic of Belarus.

Relevance of the indicator:

The indicator provides a measure of the existing and future anthropogenic impact on the earth‘s climate and shows the efficiency of the national GHG reduction policy.
