Average annual electricity demand growth vs Fossil CO2 emissions per capita

Average annual electricity demand growth (multi-month) and Fossil CO2 emissions per capita (annual) worldwide. They are published at different intervals, so each is drawn on its own rather than matched period by period.

The series

Over time

Global. Average annual electricity demand growth is published as multi-month figures and fossil CO2 emissions per capita as annual ones, so they are drawn on separate charts, and no period is matched between them. Read each on its own.

Shared periods

Side by side

No period lines up: average annual electricity demand growth is multi-month and fossil CO2 emissions per capita is annual. A month and a year are not the same measurement window, so no row pairs them.

Provenance

Where these numbers come from

Average annual electricity demand growth

Compound or compound-equivalent average annual percentage change in total electricity demand across a multi-year period.

2 observations charted in Global · source organisations: IEA
