Adjusted emissions growth rate for methane

We calculate the CH4 growth rate indicator as the average annual rate of CH4 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 PRIMAP-hist dataset of historical emissions.
