Adjusted emissions growth rate for F-gases

We calculate the F-gas growth rate indicator, which makes up 10% of the Climate Change issue category, as the average annual rate of F-gas emissions over the years 2008–2017. We then adjust for economic trends to isolate change due to policy effort rather than economic fluctuation. A score of 100 indicates a country is cutting emissions by ≥3.94% per year, and a score of 0 indicates that a country has among the worst (≥95^th-percentile) rates of emissions growth in the world. No score indicates that a country does not emit F-gases, which are typically only from certain industrial processes. Data are drawn from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK).
