Fig. 2: Decoupling of methane emissions and economic growth in selected countries at 10-year intervals.
From: Global methane footprints growth and drivers 1990-2023

a, b The relationship between PBE, CBE and GDP during the time period 1993–2023 at 10-year intervals, the colored dots present five country groups, and the colored stars present selected seven countries; the gray dots present the remaining countries. c, d The decoupling results of countries/groups in coordinate systems. Delta GDP and emissions refer to the changes in GDP and emissions over the given period. Detailed results of decoupling are shown in Supplementary Data 2.
