MAJOR DATA UPDATES


Our annual system updates have been released! Take a look at our power, transport, finance, industry, and technological carbon removal systems which feature new indicators, datasets and highlights.

A detailed list of what data was updated can be found below.

If you have any questions about our data updates, contact our data team at data@systemschangelab.org.

 

Power

 

Transport

 

Finance


Shift updates

The order of the shifts has been updated to emphasize the finance system’s major role of facilitating capital investments in physical assets that can enable the decarbonization of the economy and protection of nature. As a result, shifts have been rephrased by replacing the formulation of “finance” with “investment.”

More information on the system’s methodology can be found on our Methodology page.
