Adjusted emissions growth rate for nitrous oxides

We measure the average annual rate of nitrogen oxides emissions over the years 2013 to 2022 and 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.
