The Climate Change Mitigation issue category measures progress to combat global climate change, which exacerbates other environmental threats and imperils human health and safety. It is composed of nine indicators: adjusted emission growth rates for four greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4, F-gases, and N2O) and one climate pollutant (black carbon); projected greenhouse gas emissions in 2050; growth rate in CO2 emissions from land cover; greenhouse gas intensity growth rate; and greenhouse gas emissions per capita.
