The Global Carbon Budget is an annual living data publication of carbon cycle sources and sinks, generated from multiple data sources and by multiple organisations and research groups.

This Data Package makes the data from the 2019 Global Carbon Budget and National Emissions Excel files v1.0 available as CSV files. For updates of the original data and further information refer to the Global Carbon Budget website.

Maintainer of this Data Package is Robert Gieseke ([email protected]). See below for license information

Notes

The Global Carbon Budget data is written to CSV files using the accuracy used for display in the original Excel, or one digit more files assuming this to be the implied precision.

The National Emissions are written to CSV files with three significant digits as this is the accuracy used for the CDIAC data in the Excel file, thus rounding the numbers derived from splitting up countries or using trend data as with BP emissions data.

If other accuracy is needed adjust the processing scripts accordingly.

The Global Carbon Budget data page states:

The use of data is conditional on citing the original data sources. Full details on how to cite the data are given at the top of each page. For research projects, if the data are essential to the work, or if an important result or conclusion depends on the data, co-authorship may need to be considered. The Global Carbon Project facilitates access to data to encourage its use and promote a good understanding of the carbon cycle. Respecting original data sources is key to help secure the support of data providers to enhance, maintain and update valuable data.
