CO2 Emissions Emissions data is taken from the Global Carbon Project (Friedlingstein et al., 2020 : The Global Carbon Budget 2020, Earth System Science Data)
Income Group Classification The classification of countries into income groups is taken from the World Bank
GHG emissions by sector Data on greenhouse gas emissions is from the World Resource Institute - published 2020, but data displayed is from 2016.
Deforestation by year Yearly deforestation data was downlaoded from Global Forest Watch
Deforestation by decade / region and protected forest proportion All other forest data taken from the FAO report "Global Forest Resources Assessment" (2020), pages 13, 14, 15
Temperature anomaly Temperature data was taken from several sources. For the global temperature anomaly, NOAA's Global Land and Ocean Temperature Anomalies was used. For the areas which saw extreme temperature anomalies in August 2021, the data comes from the Copernicus Climate Change Service
Sea level rise numbers come from datasets compiled by NOAA, the United States weather agency. The original sources are researches from Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and University of Hawaii's Sea Level Center
Artic sea ice The information on the extent of Artic sea ice was taken from the National Snow and Ice Data Center / Nasa Earth Observatory
Fossil fuel consumption over timeData on fossil fuel consumption was gathered from BP's Statistical Review of World Energy. The data file for 2018 included a time series on fossil fuel consumption; we checked against more recent datasets to double-check validity and upon a match decided to use the time series, adding shares for more recent data.
Coal-fired power plants by region Global Coal Plant tracker maintained by the Global Energy Monitor.
Heating technology sales data was downloaded from IEA
Eletricity generation by energy type BP's Statistical Review of World Energy 2021
Electric vehicle sales were taken from IEA, selecting "sales" and "cars" as variables. We used sale shares from BloombergNEF to compute the total amount of vehicles sold.
Investment in energy supply by sector was taken from IEA's 2021 report on World Energy Investment (page 7)
