Carbon footprints of South-East Asian cities. Map based on satellite data of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from cities in south-eastern Asia. This image combines data from the Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL) with observations with the Operational Land Imager (OLI) on the Landsat 8 satellite. The CO2 levels are colour-coded from black and purple (low) through pink, red, orange and yellow to white (high). Major cities in this area include Guangzhou and Shanghai in China, Seoul in South Korea, and Tokyo in Japan. This map uses data from 2013.
