About Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Building (Energy) (Mt CO2e)

A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the building sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.4 Residential and other sectors, 1.A.5 Non-Specified. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).

Indicator code: EN.GHG.CO2.BU.MT.CE.AR5 • Category: Environment

Environmental data note: Environmental indicators like CO2 emissions often lag by 2–3 years due to the complexity of data collection. Values represent actual measured or estimated emissions, not policy targets.
