Indicator

Indicator 13.2.2. Total greenhouse gas emissions per year

Sub-indicator

Sub-indicator 13.2.2.2. Greenhouse gas emissions per GDP

Type of indicator (global, European, national)
  • Global
  • European (sdg_13_10 (s))
  • National
  • s: similar
Definition

Total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from resident economic units per unit of real GDP, regardless of where they actually occur

Calculation method

\[ P P I B E G E I^{t}=\frac{E G E I^{t}}{P I B_{2015}^{t}} \]Where: \( EG E I^{t}\)are the total greenhouse gas emissions of the economic units resident in year t (the total national greenhouse gas emissions of the Emissions to the Atmosphere Account are distributed according to the total greenhouse gas emissions by autonomous communities of the National Greenhouse Gas Inventory (GEI)) and \( P I B_{2015}^{t}\)is the gross domestic product in volume chained with reference 2015 in year t.

Observations

This indicator is level III, so it disseminates a proxy following the recommendations of the United Nations. The indicator uses as data for total emissions of Greenhouse Gas (GEI) to the atmosphere the one published by the Emissions to the Atmospheric Account, which accounts for the emissions of all resident units, regardless of the geographical location where such emissions actually occur. It is different from the data of the Emissions to the Atmospheric Inventory that accounts for all sources of emissions in the national territory. The estimates of the Emissions to the Atmospheric Account are made from the National Inventories of Emissions to the Atmospheric, prepared by the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge.
