Could you please add the land-use change co2 emissions through 2020 to the owid-co2-data.csv file? This OWID page has them in the green line of the plot: https://ourworldindata.org/co2-emissions

However, I am unable to find this data. Would be ideal to have a new column added to this file. thank you very much.

Hi @cortinah. Thanks for reporting this.

In our main owid-co2-data.csv file we stick to CO2 emissions from fossil fuels only, from the Global Carbon Project. This is for two reasons:

While we don't have it in our main owid-co2-data.csv file, you can still download the data from the chart using the 'Download' tab at the bottom.

Thanks!

Thank you very much for the explanation. Could you then please add a separate .csv file with this data in the same repository? It is much easier to access and track on github than downloading from the OWID webpage. thanks again.
