Learn how air pollution can harm your health and the environment, and what EPA is doing to protect the air we breathe.
EPA’s indicators use the best available observed data to show how the climate is changing.
EPA’s environmental justice mapping and screening tool now includes climate parameters on sea-level rise and flooding.
Between 2018 and 2019, greenhouse gas emissions decreased 1.7%, primarily because of a drop in fossil fuel combustion emissions, which was largely due to trends in the electric power sector.
Gases that trap heat in the atmosphere are called greenhouse gases.
Do you know your household’s carbon footprint?
Did you ever wonder what reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 1 million metric tons means in everyday terms?
EPA partners with more than 40 data contributors from various government agencies, academic institutions, and other organizations to compile a key set of indicators related to the causes and effects of climate change.
Greenhouse gases from human activities are the most significant driver of observed climate change since the mid-20th century.1
