 About WDCGG

The World Data Centre for Greenhouse Gases (WDCGG) is a World Data Centre (WDC) operated by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) under the Global Atmosphere Watch (GAW) programme of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). WDCGG collects, archives and distributes data provided by contributors on greenhouse gases (such as CO2, CH4, CFCs, N2O) and related gases (such as CO) in the atmosphere and elsewhere.

This website is operated by the JMA in collaboration with WMO.

 WMO Greenhouse Gas Bulletin

The WMO Greenhouse Gas Bulletin reports on the latest trends and atmospheric burdens of the most influential long-lived greenhouse gases - carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) - and provides a summary of contributions from other greenhouse gases.

The latest WMO Greenhouse Gas Bulletin (No.19) was issued on 15 November 2023.
Observation data in the bulletin were provided by contributors around the world and archived/distributed by WDCGG.

ATTENTION Reactive gases measurement data (except for CO) have been agreed to be transferred under the responsibility of the newly established GAW World Data Centre for Reactive Gases (WDCRG) hosted by the Norwegian Institute for Air Research (NILU).
Reactive gas data submitted to WDCGG before 1 January 2016 have been migrated to WDCRG.
