Helpful to see emissions and energy mix side by side. For anyone using this for policy work, I would still cross-check the underlying definitions for “renewables” in the source notes.

Discussion
Agreed. I am using this dashboard for a teaching slide and will link directly to the original dataset in the caption.
Would be useful to have a variant of this dashboard normalized per capita. I have submitted a request via the Request dashboard page.
