@climatetrace.org
Climate TRACE is a non-profit coalition of organizations building a timely, open, and accessible inventory of exactly where greenhouse gas emissions are coming from.

Explore: ClimateTRACE.org/explore
Using satellite data and other technologies, Climate TRACE measures and publishes these emissions data regularly for anyone to access.

Air pollution is responsible for millions of deaths annually. Many of the facilities emitting health-damaging pollutants like NOx, SO2, and PM2.5 are the very same facilities that emit large quantities of greenhouse gases.

Did you notice the new look at ClimateTRACE.org?

As we’ve added new tools to the platform, coalition members at @earthgenome.org have worked hard to integrate massive amounts of data while presenting it in a visually compelling, clear way.
💡How do we approach large data sets, capturing its scope while also making clear its granularity and the stories it can tell❓ That's exactly what we sought to do with global greenhouse gas emissions data in collaboration with our long-standing partner, @climatetrace.org
