Carbon (CO2) Emissions

This dataset provides a comprehensive look at carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions on a country-by-country basis, enabling analysis of both historical trends and recent developments in global emissions. Sourced from data.gov.in and curated for accuracy and usability, this dataset includes annual emissions data for numerous countries, categorized by year and region.

Descriptions for each of the columns in the dataset:

1. Country: The name of the country for which CO₂ emissions data is recorded. This column allows for country-specific analysis and comparison.
2. Region: The geographical or administrative region to which each country belongs. This categorization facilitates regional analysis by grouping countries into broader areas, such as continents or economic zones.
3. Date: The year in which the CO₂ emissions data was recorded, formatted as a date for compatibility with time-series analysis and to allow temporal trends to be identified.
4. Kilotons of CO₂: The total amount of carbon dioxide emissions, measured in kilotons, released by each country in the specified year. This column provides a quantitative measure of national CO₂ emissions.
5. Metric Tons Per Capita: The per capita emissions of CO₂ for each country, expressed in metric tons. This value represents the average carbon dioxide emissions per person, offering insight into individual emissions contributions relative to population size.

These column descriptions highlight each field's purpose, making it easier to interpret the dataset and utilize it effectively in their analyses.

Key Features:

• Country-Level Data: Covers CO₂ emissions data by individual countries, allowing for cross-country comparisons and regional analysis.
• Time Series: Yearly emissions records provide a time-series view, making it ideal for identifying trends, peaks, and patterns over time.
• Regional Context: The addition of a “Region” column allows users to group countries into specific regions, facilitating broader regional analysis and comparison.
• Enhanced Usability: The "Year" column has been converted to a date format to support time-based analyses, and additional data transformations have been applied for clarity.

Use Cases:
This dataset is valuable for environmental researchers, data scientists, policymakers, and anyone interested in studying carbon emissions patterns, analyzing climate change impact, or modelling future scenarios of CO₂ emissions. It supports a wide range of analyses, from simple visualizations to complex statistical modelling.
