1. [Global Energy Monitor's (GEM)](https://globalenergymonitor.org/) [Global Coal Plant Tracker (GCPT)](https://globalenergymonitor.org/projects/global-coal-plant-tracker/) and the accompanying GCPT status changes since 2015. GEM's GCPT dataset provides unit-level data and it is the basis for all calculations related to coal-plant capacity, status, technology and age.
2. Country-level coal phaseout strategies, country-level expected retirements and global emission pathways from [University of Maryland's (UMD)](https://www.umd.edu/) [Center for Global Sustainability (CGS)](https://cgs.umd.edu/). Datasets from UMD are outputs from published research, and are therefore mostly served as is with very few modifications for aesthetic purposes such as smooth interpolation.
3. [Ember](https://ember-climate.org/)'s [Global Electricity Review 2021](https://ember-climate.org/project/global-electricity-review-2021/) data. Ember's dataset provides panel data over three dimensions, namely area (such as country and regions), year and variable (such as energy sources). It is used as the basis for all calculations related to energy mixes and trends.

4. In the Headlines content is scraped from [CoalWire](https://endcoal.org/category/coalwire/), published by [GEM](https://globalenergymonitor.org/). A CoalWire issue consists of multiple articles, news and analysis pieces, which are individually presented on the BGCC site.
5. Research and analysis pieces as curated by [Bloomberg Philanthropies](https://www.bloomberg.org/).
6. [Gapminder data, HYDE, and UN Population Division (2019) estimates](https://www.gapminder.org/data/documentation/gd003/) as presented by [Our World in Data's (OWD)](https://ourworldindata.org/) [world population data since 1800](https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/population). This dataset is used for per-capita calculations with simple extrapolations for 2020.

8. [Natural Earth Data](https://www.naturalearthdata.com/)'s [country vectors](https://www.naturalearthdata.com/downloads/110m-cultural-vectors/110m-admin-0-countries/) as presented by [Graydon Hoare](https://gist.github.com/graydon/11198540) with our own manual modifications for aesthetic reasons in order to make the interactive map appear more presentable.
9. Country commitments to phasing out coal as well as no new coal are based on research from [UMD](https://www.umd.edu/) [CGS](https://cgs.umd.edu/) and the [Powering Past Coal Alliance (PPCA)](https://www.poweringpastcoal.org/).
10. Expected retirements by 2030 of each country are collected and maintained by [PPCA](https://www.poweringpastcoal.org/).
