Emissions Tracker
Comprehensive Emissions Data and Tracking
- Historical and forecasted emissions data
- Sector-specific breakdowns and compliance monitoring
- Real-time air quality and deforestation impact
The “Comprehensive Emissions Data and Tracking” section of the Emissions Tracker offers detailed global and sector-specific emissions data, including both historical trends and forecasts up to 2030. This tool monitors compliance with international emissions agreements and tracks emissions by energy source, such as coal, natural gas, and renewables. Powered by the Climate Watch Data API and Our World in Data, users can explore real-time data on air quality, deforestation impacts, and renewable energy capacity. Key visualizations include CO₂ emissions per capita, renewable energy generation, wildfire impacts, and tree cover loss due to wildfires.
Annual area burnt by wildfires, 2012 to 2024
The chart on this page shows the total area burned by wildfires annually, measured in hectares. It uses satellite data from the Global Wildfire Information System (GWIS) and highlights the long-term trends in wildfire activity globally. The chart reflects fluctuations in burned areas due to factors like regional climate variations, land management practices, and human intervention. It helps visualize the environmental impact of wildfires across different time periods.
