Adjusted emissions growth rate for black carbon

We calculate the black carbon growth rate indicator as the average annual rate of black carbon emissions over the years 2013-2022. 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 ≥5% per year, and a score of 0 indicates emissions are rising ≥5% per year. Data are drawn from the Community Emissions Data System (CEDS).
