Below is climate-related data for 18 G-20 countries. Each measurement is the change in value from 2000 to 2020 . In general, positive values indicate that the measures have increased from 2000 to 2020, 0 indicates the measure has not changed from 2000 to 2020, and negative values indicated that the measures have decreased from 2000 to 2020. See the definition of each variable below the table.

A value such as 3.47577 indicates that the land cover has become more climate regulating from 2000 to 2020. Climate-Related Disasters : Trend in number of climate related natural disasters. A value such as -6 indicates that the number of climate related disasters per year decreased by 6 from 2000 to 2020. Carbon Stock in Forests : Forest carbon stock is the amount of carbon that has been sequestered from the atmosphere and is now stored within the forest ecosystem, mainly within living biomass and soil, and to a lesser extent also in dead wood and litter. A value such as -372.387 means that the amount of carbon stored in the forest and not in the air has decreased from 2000 to 2020. Surface Temperature Change : Annual estimates of mean surface temperature change are measured with respect to a baseline climatology. A value such as 1.309 indicates an increase in temperature from 2000 to 2020. CO 2 Emissions : Carbon dioxide emissions of a country, measured in metric tons per capita. A value such as -0.2 means that there are 0.2 fewer metric tons per capita in 2020 than in 2000. Renewable Energy Consumption : The percentage of total energy consumption that comes from renewable energy. A value such as -0.01 means that the percentage of renewable energy has decreased 0.01% from 2000 to 2020. Total Annual Precipitation : water released from clouds in the form of rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow, or hail, measured in millimeters. A value such as -224.78 means that there was 224.78mm less precipitation in 2020 than 2000. Updated 9/2023
