Documentation

Description:
Box TS.1 Figure 1: Panel a depicts carbon emissions from fossil fuel and industry over the past five decades. The single year declines in emissions following major economic and geopolitical events are shown, as well as the decline recorded in five different datasets for emissions in 2020 compared to 2019. Panel b depicts the perturbation of daily carbon emissions in 2020 compared to 2019, showing the impact of COVID-19 lockdown policies. {Figure 2.6}

Data sources are: Liu et al. (2020), Le Quere et al. (2020) and Minx et al. (2021) See references. Data processing or treatment: For the EDGAR (panel a) data: • We applied an uncertainty range of 0.08 (following Minx et al.) to estimate upper and lower bounds For the Carbon Monitor (Liu et al.) data: • we summed domestic and international aviation to create the “Aviation” sector • we applied an uncertainty range of 0.072 (on discussion with the authors) to estimate upper and lower bounds • we subtracted daily emissions in 2020 from those in 2019 • we applied a 7 day rolling average (center aligned) to smooth the data For the Le Quere data: • no transformations applied Code archived online at: https://github.com/mcc-apsis/AR6-Emissions-trends-and-drivers/blob/master/R/Analysis%20and%20figures/covid_emissions.Rmd
Purpose:
Data used by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) authors and supplied for archiving to MetadataWorks Ltd by the Technical Support Unit (TSU) for IPCC Working Group III (WG III).
