Synopsis
This resource from Climate TRACE procvides a downloadable collection of data sets for a number of individual greenhouse gases and pollutants, both by sector and by country, and a brief introduction with links to the methodology for collecting this data and FAQs.
Teachers and students can utilize this independent data to analyze emissions and help guide projects and discussions about solutions.
Files download easily, and the data and methodology reports are not overly complex.
The wide variety of data available allows for multiple avenues for teaching and exploration.
Prerequisites
Depending on how teachers will use these downloads, they may want to review how to read data or reports.
Teachers may need to define terms, such as the sectors, time scales, and greenhouse gases.
Differentiation & Implementation
Science teachers can download the Methodology PDFs to use for practice in analyzing scientific reports.
Math students can download the CSV files to practice working with applications like Excel.
To make connections to climate change, teachers can have students look at the data to determine which sectors emit the most greenhouse gases. Teachers can pair this resource with something like this solutions explorer to combine emissions data with information about climate solutions.
Teachers can relate this resource to many of the Sustainable Development Goals, including SDG 13, Climate Action, and SDG 7, Affordable and Clean Energy.
Teachers can use this article to show graphs of the data over time and to gain additional insights.
