The World's Biggest Emitters

Inspiration

I came across an interesting dataset about global CO2 emissions by country with data for as early as 1750, as well as some helpful resources for displaying maps and bar charts using Geopandas and Matplotlib.

What it does

This project displays a map of CO2 emissions per capita by country in 2021, as well as more specific data for the biggest and smallest emitters (per capita) such as the sources of that CO2.

How we built it

This project uses Python and tools such as Numpy, Pandas, Matplotlib, and Geopandas to process CSV files containing datasets on countries and their CO2 emissions and display a world map (colored according to each country's CO2 emissions per capita in 2021) and two bar charts.

Challenges we ran into

Accomplishments that we're proud of

What we learned

I learned how to use Matplotlib, Geopandas, and other tools to display data cleanly and clearly as a map or a chart.
