What was done to it

  1. Read from Annex 5, World profile, table of changes by sector, printed page 73 (PDF page 75) of the report, in the text of page 75 of the PDF snapshot (sha256 4e5712706aed…): the columns '2025 vs 1990', '2025 vs 2005' and '2025 vs 2024' for seven sectors and all sectors, exactly as labelled in SECTORS. Each value is the whole percentage printed, including where the report prints a change that rounds to zero.

  2. Sectors are the report's: 'Industrial Combustion and Processes' is one row in this table. The changes are in world emissions excluding land use, land-use change and forestry (page 11), including international shipping and aviation (page 74).
