OECD GDP growth projections 2008-2010

OECD GDP growth projections

The OECD released yesterday one of its flagship publications, the Economic Outlook.

This book makes projections about the economies of the 30 OECD member countries, as well as major non-OECD countries like China or India. In this context of uncertainty, it was highly anticipated.

This maps summarizes the GDP yearly growth projections for 2009. Under the EO hypotheses, most OECD countries will experience recession (blue = GDP drops) during this year, but growth should be back in 2010.

CO₂ emissions
CO₂ emissions from energy use, in million tonnes

The International Energy Agency, linked with the OECD, publishes comprehensive energy indicators, which cover more than OECD member countries. Among them is the CO₂ emissions from energy use (that is, excluding CO₂ emissions from sources like wood or waste burning). The IEA prepares the yearly World Energy Outlook, a reference publication for long-term energy analysis.

This graph is based on the CO₂ emissions table presented in the OECD Factbook. The redish stack represents the OECD countries, the other countries are in the greenish stack. Click on the image to break down the chart and look at each country evolution.
