Short summary

The Global Carbon Budget 2016 is the 11th annual update of emissions of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and their partitioning among the atmosphere, land, and ocean. This data synthesis brings together measurements, statistical information, and analyses of model results in order to provide an assessment of the global carbon budget and their uncertainties for years 1959 to 2015, with a projection for year 2016.
