Emission sources vary considerably across countries depending on their level of development, natural conditions such as weather patterns, available resources, and distance to markets, as well as principal economic sectors, energy sources, and land use. Identifying emissions sources and understanding the drivers behind those emissions is critical to develop and implement well targeted climate mitigation and adaptation policies. This section draws on a selection of indicators from the OECD, IEA and ITF.
Climate Action Dashboard
The Climate Action Dashboard features key indicators to track progress towards climate objectives and provide a snapshot of country climate action. The Dashboard has four main building blocks starting with the status of greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions. It describes their developments in activities or sectors, impacts on climate and the environment and the associated risks and vulnerabilities, the policies and actions to mitigate and adapt to climate change, and the derived socio-economic opportunities that contribute to a just transition.
