License: https://ourworldindata.org/
Keywords: co2, emissions, carbon, climate, decarbonization, owid, accountability, signals

Value-added carbon-accountability signals from free Our World in Data CO2 data: per-capita emissions, carbon intensity of GDP, global and cumulative emission shares with decarbonization trends, peaked-emissions flags, anomaly flags and cross-country ranks across ~200 countries. All computation is local pandas/numpy; no paid models or APIs.

Schema

Column	Type	Description
date	string	Reference year of the observation (first day of the year), as published in the Our World in Data CO2 dataset.
country	string
country_code	string
series_id	string	Derived series identifier: CO2_PER_CAPITA (territorial CO2 per person), CO2_PER_GDP (CO2 intensity of GDP), SHARE_GLOBAL_CO2 (share of global annual CO2), or SHARE_CUMULATIVE_CO2 (share of cumulative CO2 since 1750).
series_label	string	Human-readable series label from the Our World in Data CO2 dataset documentation, naming the emissions indicator and its unit.
value	float	Indicator value as published by Our World in Data: territorial CO2 per capita in tonnes; CO2 intensity in kg per 2017 international-$ of GDP; global and cumulative emission shares in percent.
trend_10y	float
peaked_flag	integer
anomaly_flag	integer
rank	float
