What we know · what we don't
How sure we are about the measurement. A low score doesn't lower the polluter's rank — it just shows the data is fuzzier.How much of this country's emissions traces to a named owner.
Confidence reflects how completely Climate TRACE has measured this country’s emissions; coverage shows the share of those emissions we can tie to a named owner. Both feed the 0–100 Climate Damage Score above. Untraced emissions are real — they just don’t yet have a named owner in the open datasets we use.
