Emissions & Development Indicators Dashboard
A 2007 country snapshot linking total CO₂, CO₂ per capita, GDP per capita, population, and life expectancy across 142 countries.
Emissions coverage
140 / 142
98.6% usable for emissions charts
2 rows lack CO₂ fields and are excluded from emissions-only views.
Total listed CO₂
28.1K Mt
Across all countries with available emissions values
Single-year cross-section, so no trend delta is implied.
Population-weighted CO₂ / person
4.50 t
GDP↔CO₂/person r = 0.76
Per-capita emissions align more with income than with population scale.
Largest total emitter
China
Highest CO₂ per capita: Trinidad and Tobago at 33.37 t
What this dashboard answers
Five charts were intentionally chosen to cover distinct analytical questions without redundancy.
- Which countries dominate absolute emissions in this 2007 snapshot?
- How do continents differ in overall emissions scale versus per-person emissions intensity?
- How strongly does prosperity track with CO₂ per capita once population size is retained in the view?
- How widely distributed are per-capita emissions within each continent?
- Where are high per-capita emitters geographically concentrated?
Top two emitters
Share of listed total CO₂ from China and the United States combined.
Population vs total CO₂
r = 0.74
Population size is far more aligned with total emissions than with emissions per person.
Asia total CO₂
13.6K Mt
Largest continental total, driven by aggregate scale.
Oceania weighted CO₂ / person
17.73 t
Highest population-weighted continental intensity in the available data.
Selection rule compliance
G1 Comparison × 2
G2 Relationship/distribution × 2
G3 Geographic × 1
G4 temporal charts were not selected because every row belongs to the same year (2007), so a time-series view would imply variation the dataset does not contain.
Top 12 countries by total CO₂ emissions
G1 comparison view — ranking absolute emitters answers a different question from per-capita intensity.
Continent comparison: total CO₂ vs population-weighted CO₂ per capita
G1 comparison view — scale and intensity diverge materially across continents.
GDP per capita vs CO₂ per capita
G2 relationship view — bubbles preserve country population while showing the income–emissions-intensity pattern.
Distribution of CO₂ per capita by continent
G2 distribution view — box plots highlight typical values, spread, and outliers within each continent.
World choropleth of CO₂ per capita
G3 geographic view — spatial clustering is easier to detect on a map than in ranked lists.
Chart selection rationale
Commonality score is a 0–1 heuristic indicating how standard the chart type is for the analytical question being answered.
