We calculate the NOX growth rate indicator, which makes up 5% of the Climate Change issue category, as the average annual rate of NOX emissions over the years 2005–2014. 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 Community Emissions Data System (CEDS).
