The CO2 emissions indicator measures the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) gases emitted into the atmosphere by human activities, such as burning fossil fuels for energy production, transportation, and industrial processes. Carbon dioxide is a major contributor to climate change, as it traps heat in the atmosphere and contributes to rising global temperatures.
