We calculate the F-gas growth rate indicator as the average annual rate of F-gases emissions over the years 2010–2019. 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 (≥95th-percentile) rates of emissions growth in the world. Data are drawn from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK).
