How this measure is built
- Definition
- Annual percentage change in carbon dioxide emissions from electricity generation.
- Measure
- One slice of CO2 emissions ( form: growth, segment: electricity generation ) . Total volume of carbon dioxide emissions released into the atmosphere. Region and period are columns on every record, not slices.
- Limitations
- Publishers release on different schedules, so the latest period differs by region; compare regions on the same period. 1 figure is a projection, drawn dashed and labelled in the table. Values are shown as published; StatOrigin does not revise, fill gaps or convert currencies.
- Verification
- Each value, unit, period and place was checked against its source evidence before publication. See the methodology and the corrections process.
