This new indicator estimates CO2 emissions from land cover change over the years 2001–2015. A score of 100 indicates a country emits among the least amount of CO2 (≤5th-percentile) from land cover change, and a score of 0 indicates greatest amount (≥95th-percentile). Data are drawn from existing global data sets integrated in FLINTpro.
