Welcome to the CO2 Scorecard
This website is a first step toward our goal of bringing together on one site all of the publicly-available data on:
- CO2 emissions;
- Other sources of greenhouse gases (GHG) and GHG sinks;
- Energy production and consumption;
- Energy investment, prices and taxes;
- Socio-economic benchmarks & drivers.
We plan to obtain this data for all countries, corporations and other entities (e.g., power plants in the U.S., EU and India; other GHG-emitting plants and the individual U.S. states) that report GHG emissions. The data will be available in user-friendly formats on a no-cost basis.
So far, the CO2 Scorecard site has 56 sets of country-level data on CO2 emissions, energy production & consumption, and socio-economic benchmarks from six sources. Learn more about our data sets and planned data sources.
Website Content and Functionality
When completed, the CO2 Scorecard will be the preferred source of information and analysis on CO2 emissions for interested citizens, researchers, journalists, business leaders and government officials. Our plan is to make available:
- CO2 Scorecard grades, evaluating the effectiveness and efficiency of governments and corporations in meeting CO2 reduction targets;
- Dashboards for presentation of key data and analysis;
- Data display and visualization tools;
- Real-time analysis of data releases and climate news;
- Data extraction tools.
Data Visualization Tools
So far, this website features country-level Dashboards and Scorecards for over 200 countries, five user-defined data display and visualization tools (Trend Charts, Maps, Treemaps, XY Charts and Country Comparisons), and a Climate News Tracker.
Our Vision for the CO2 Scorecard
The CO2 Scorecard intends to become a central information node in the climate and energy policy arena by providing the data, tools and analysis that interested parties need for an informed policy debate and to hold government and business leaders accountable. Learn about Our Vision.
