Other greenhouse gas emissions (% change from 1990)

This indicator tracks the annual percentage fluctuation of emissionsemissions from auxiliary greenhouse gases such as hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride, measured against a baseline year of 1990. These gases, which are often the result of industrial processes, refrigeration, and other human activities, significantly contribute to climate change despite being present in smaller quantities compared to carbon dioxide. By observing the yearly changes in these emissions, policymakers and environmentalists can gauge the effectiveness of regulations and initiatives aimed at reducing their prevalence. Furthermore, tracking these metrics can enhance understanding of trends in climate policies and highlight the urgency of transitioning to more sustainable practices to mitigate global warming impacts.
