  • Global Carbon Accountability Signals (derived)

    Global carbon accountability signals (per-capita, intensity, historical responsibility)

    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.

  • Global City Climate Stress Signals (derived)

    Global city climate stress signals (degree days, precipitation, renewable-resource anomalies)

    Value-added monthly climate-stress signals for 54 world cities from free NASA POWER data: cooling/heating degree days (energy demand proxies), precipitation anomalies (drought/wetness), solar and wind resource anomalies, and heat/cold stress flags — 1981 to present. All computation is local pandas/numpy; no paid models or APIs.

  • Climate Heat Signals (derived)

    NASA climate heat-extreme signals (daily anomaly flags, heatwave streaks, forecasts)

    Daily heat-extreme signals derived from NASA POWER daily weather for 54 world cities (2020-01-01 to yesterday): 3-sigma heat-anomaly flags against day-of-year climatology, heatwave streak counts, 30-day temperature volatility, 63-day warming momentum, naive seasonal 1-month forecasts and a per-day cross-city heat-anomaly rank. Cities are mapped to ISO country codes so the signals join cleanly with country-keyed macro data. Raw weather: NASA POWER.

  • Global CO2 Growth Signals (derived)

    Global CO2 growth signals (growth rate, acceleration, records)

    Monthly global CO2 accumulation signals from NOAA Global Monitoring Laboratory measurements (1974 ->): the de-seasonalized global monthly mean with 3-month momentum, year-on-year change, 30-month change volatility, 3-sigma anomaly flags, naive-drift forecasts, the annual growth rate (ppm/yr and %), growth acceleration, a rolling 10-year trend slope, record-high flags and an acceleration flag. The pace-of-accumulation lens on the carbon cycle — levels always rise, so the growth rate is the signal. Companion to us-carbon-accountability-signals (company emissions) and us-climate-signals (city temperatures). Rows normalized to country_code WLD (World). Raw data: NOAA Global Monitoring Laboratory.

  • Ember

    Monthly electricity generation by source and country (Ember)

    Monthly electricity generation, generation mix shares, CO2 emissions and emissions intensity by electricity source for around 230 countries and economies plus regional aggregates, from Ember's harmonized monthly electricity dataset (https://files.ember-energy.org/public-downloads/generation/outputs/release_generation_monthly_global.csv). Each row is one (month, area, electricity source): generation in TWh with year-on-year changes, share of that area's generation in percent, CO2 emissions in MtCO2e with year-on-year changes, share of emissions, and emissions intensity in gCO2e/kWh, alongside area metadata (ISO alpha-3 code, continent, Ember region, EU/OECD/G20/G7/ASEAN membership). Method: Ember harmonizes national statistics; sources flagged is_aggregated_source=True (Clean, Fossil, Renewables, Total generation, Wind and solar, 'Hydro, bioenergy and other renewables') are composites of the granular sources, and 'Demand'/'Net imports' are balance rows. Units: TWh for generation, MtCO2e for emissions, gCO2e/kWh for intensity, percent / percentage points for shares and changes. Caveats: YoY-change columns are empty for each series' first 12 months; regional aggregates have no iso3 code; the latest 1-2 months are provisional and routinely revised. Coverage: worldwide, 1998-12 to the present, monthly granularity. Provenance: Ember keyless public CSV, CC BY 4.0 - please cite Ember (ember-energy.org). Primary key: (month, area, electricity_source). Join keys: iso3 (ISO 3166-1 alpha-3), month. Cadence: refreshed monthly; new months typically appear ~6 weeks after month-end. Sample use: filter area='Germany' and is_aggregated_source=False to track its generation mix over time.

  • Eurostat

    Share of energy from renewable sources by country (annual)

    Annual share of energy from renewable sources (percent), overall and by sector, for EU member states, EFTA countries and EU candidate countries. Eurostat dataset nrg_ind_ren ('Share of energy from renewable sources'), filtered to percentage unit. Each row is one (year, country, component): the overall share (REN), transport (REN_TRA), electricity (REN_ELC), heating and cooling (REN_HEAT_CL) and the two waste-heat-and-cold variants. Method: Eurostat compiles national energy balances; non-EU/EFTA/candidate countries are dropped (same licensing rule as the other Eurostat datasets). Units: percent. Caveats: recent years are provisional and revised. Coverage: 2004 to the present, yearly. Provenance: Eurostat keyless JSON-stat API, free reuse with attribution (Commission Decision 2011/833/EU) - please cite Eurostat. Primary key: (year, country_code, component). Join keys: country_code (ISO 3166-1 alpha-3), year. Cadence: refreshed yearly. Sample use: filter component='REN_ELC' and country_code='DEU' to track Germany's renewable electricity share.
