Climate Change Data

The indicators in this category examine carbon dioxide atmospheric concentrations, as well
as trends in global warming, such as rising sea levels, rising temperatures and frequency of
natural disasters which are key indicators to monitor climate change and its impacts on
populations.

Annual Surface Temperature Change

This indicator presents the mean surface temperature change during the period 1961-2021, using
temperatures between 1951 and 1980 as a baseline. Use the drop-down menus to search for
temperature changes by country.

This data is provided by the Food and Agriculture Organization Corporate Statistical Database
(FAOSTAT) and is based on publicly available GISTEMP data from the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration Goddard Institute for Space Studies (NASA GISS).

World Monthly Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide

Concentrations
This indicator presents the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, on a monthly and
yearly basis, dating back to 1958. Use the drop-down menus to search for a specific time period,
and to see the rate of year-on-year growth.
 
The source data for these visualizations comes from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Association Global Monitoring Laboratory.

Change in Mean Sea Levels

This indicator gives estimates of the rise of global sea levels, based on measurements from satellite
radar altimeters. These are produced by measuring the time it takes a radar pulse to make a round-
trip from the satellite to the sea surface and back again. 

The graphs below show the data obtained by four satellite altimeters – TOPEX/Poseidon, Jason-1,
Jason-2, and Jason-3 – which have monitored the same surfaces since 1992. On the right, you’ll
see mean sea level changes for each of the world’s main seas and oceans.

Land Cover and Land Cover Altering Indicator

Land cover has important linkages to climate regulation. Land’s ability to sequester carbon or store
(retain) carbon impacts that amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. These indicators look at changes in
land cover over time, grouping land cover into those types that have climate influencing, climate
regulating and climate neutral impacts.

Climate-related Disasters Frequency

The links between climate change

and natural disasters are well documented in a wide
variety of climate change
literature. This graph depicts the trend in these climate-related
disasters
over time.
