How are greenhouse gas emissions in Austria composed? How much do cars contribute, and how much comes from the burps and flatulence of livestock? In this graphic, we present for the first time a detailed representation of the emissions produced in Austria. The square visualization shows the emissions of one year, divided by sector. By clicking on a sector, you can see which subsectors it consists of. A total of 46 subsectors are displayed. Clicking on a subsector again opens a short description explaining the subsector. A second diagram provides historical context. The visualization was inspired by the Swedish climate transformation platform.
