Greenhouse gas emissions per capita by municipality and county in the Upper Rhine region (2021)
Produced as part of the Interreg Upper Rhine Atmo-Rhena PLUS project, this map shows greenhouse gas emissions per square kilometer by municipality and canton in the Upper Rhine region in 2021.
Limiting greenhouse gas emissions is the main lever for taking action against the rise in the planet's average temperature, which is causing climate change. The GHG emissions in this inventory correspond to the “direct” emissions of a territory, i.e., those emitted within the territory itself. Emissions generated outside the territory during the production, for example, of goods or services used within the territory are called “indirect” emissions and are not included in this inventory.
This inventory takes into account the three main greenhouse gases covered by the Kyoto Protocol: carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). The various greenhouse gas emissions are converted and added together in CO2 equivalents (ktCO2eq) using their Global Warming Potential (GWP). The GWP used here is calculated according to the method set out in the IPCC's 5th Assessment Report published in 2013. These total greenhouse gas emissions are also expressed in CO2 equivalents using the unit ktCO2eq.
The map of greenhouse gas emissions for the Upper Rhine, all sectors combined, shows that most of the areas affected are populated and/or have heavy road traffic (cities, the Vosges and Black Forest valleys, the Rhine Rift Valley), are industrial, or are used for electricity generation.
The static map in PDF format is available at the municipal level (France and Germany) and at the canton level (Switzerland). The data is accessible as open data only at the EPCI, Kreis and canton levels.
