Interactive Map of Greenhouse Gas Emissions
------------------------------------------------------------------
To assist the Kyoto protocol process - to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to
counter climate change, a new interactive map has been launched. The
"Greenhouse Gases & the Kyoto Protocol" presents data and statistics
collected by international institutions.
Using the map, any user can now evaluate the current state of emissions, and
projections for the future. The data is available both as total emissions,
and as emissions per citizen in each country that has signed the Kyoto
protocol. It is also possible to zoom in and closer examine a specific part
of the world, or to get a graph of the emissions covering a period of 20
years.
The presentation in this map provides an easy way to examine the statistics,
and also to evaluate the agenda in climate change and greenhouse gas
emissions.
The website was developed by UNEP/GRID-Arendal in Norway, a United Nations
Environment Programme information centre, and the website is also a part of
the UNEP.Net environmental network.
