Interactive Map of Greenhouse Gas Emissions and the Kyoto Protocol

This set of interactive graphics was produced in preparation for the
seventh Conference of the Parties (COP-7) to the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) held in The
Netherlands in October-November 2001. They are based on several UNFCCC
Secretariat documents compiling data from submissions by Annex I
countries; these include First and Second National Communications, as
well as annual national inventory data. Additional sources include
updated reports from individual countries; exceptions are noted on the
graphs.

The graphs feature actual (1990-2000) and projected (2005, 2010)
emissions of the six greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide (CO2), methane
(CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs),
perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6). The emissions
are aggregated and represented as CO2 equivalents in million tonnes
(1012); please note that in UNFCCC documents, emissions are measured
in gigagrams (10**9).
