Difference in Emissions between Advanced/Emerging Economies

Inspiration

We wanted to find a way to visualize the difference in emissions between advanced economies and emerging economies (both by type and amount of greenhouse gas and by industry).

What it does

We created 4 charts in order to compare emissions between advanced and emerging economies. The first two charts are bar graphs that show the greenhouse gas emissions, by greenhouse gas, from 2010-2021 for advanced and emerging economies. The third and fourth charts are pie charts that show the breakdown of total greenhouse gas emissions by sector for advanced and emerging economies.

How we built it

We built the graphs utilizing python functions in a jupyter notebook in order to filter and sort the data. We also used matplotlib in order to build the four graphs.

Challenges we ran into

In the beginning, we had problems getting the data to properly show up on the graphs, as the graphs were showing up blank instead. We realized that this was because we were initializing the graph as a variable instead of a function, which resulted in the graph not actually being built.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud that we learned how to use matplotlib in a short amount of time in order to make different types of graphs.

What we learned

We learned how to utilize matplotlib for making graphs, as well as how to use python to filter rows of data to select the rows that we want to analyze.

What's next for Difference in Emissions between Advanced/Emerging Economies

We can take our skills in python further and write functions to analyze whether there is a statistically significant difference in emissions over time for advanced and emerging economies.
