CO2 Emissions

This data shows total CO2 emission estimates in tonnes of CO2 per Person per Year.

This government data aims to provide nationally consistent carbon dioxide emission estimates at local authority and regional level (methodology may be subject to refinement hence estimates may be recalculated for previous years). On their own, however, these estimates cannot give all the information necessary to plan and monitor the progress of all local emissions reduction initiatives, this may require additional local monitoring.

Supporting methodology information and further data, for example, CO2 sub-totals shown by sector, are available from the source weblink.
