If you don't know how to do this I may be able to advise how to do it with python matplotlib - but I am not physically capable of doing it myself at the moment. If difficult it could just be the top 10 or top 20 countries.
Although there is no completely fair graphic this is fairer than the many existing pie charts which give no idea of population.
I realise this could be a lot of work but I think it would improve public understanding for a lot of readers before
COP26
If you accept this task please could you make it easy to update when new figures are published and easy to translate the legend.
Thanks for considering

I think 35 countries/regions is too many—not "friendly" for readers. I suggest the ~ten highest-emitting countries only.
I can manually make an SVG diagram; I don't know Python/Matlab at all. It may take me a few days to produce. It won't be "automatic" to update as new figures come out each year, but anyone who knows SVG will be able to edit it manually (basic algebra; not rocket science).
RCraig09 Those charts are very good but they only show CO2. And they are a time series whereas Tom Schulz "variwide" is showing the absolute size (area) and per person (height) in one chart which I think gets across important points clearly. You are absolutely right that 35 is too many. I think minimum 6 biggest GhG emitters so that Brazil deforestation can be mentioned in text. If not too cluttered 8 to include Iran (fuel subsidies). Not sure how "rest of world" would look with 8 countries in variwide style. Maybe EU should be shown as one rectangle?

I was able to finish this today. It's a nice, compact SVG covering ten countries. Let me know if changes are needed.
I used a spreadsheet to generate the SVG code; I plan to post a (Dropbox?) link to the spreadsheet so others can adapt to new data in future years, though I'm afraid updating is not an "automatic" task. Done —RCraig09 (

RCraig09: Fantastic - have added it to article. Yes if you could write briefly in the description how to update it each year that would be great.

I've added instructions to the file description page. Also, since the result is a text file in SVG format, it should be very simple to use a text editor to convert to other languages. RCraig09 (

Hi, there is a new variant of the Republic of China (Taiwan) national emblem on the Taiwanese passport issued from 2021 onwards. The new passport reduces the prominence of the words "Republic of China" (the country's official name) by depicting it in a border surrounding the emblem. The Taiwanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs cannot completely remove the name from its passports as doing so is considered an act of separatism by the People's Republic of China (PRC) on the mainland and threatens to invade Taiwan if it changes its official name or its national symbols (though this new design doesn't seem to annoy the PRC as the variant depicts the official name and is only used on passports). The Taiwanese passport (both before and after 2021) depicts the emblem in green and yellow when normally, the emblem is blue and white. When comparing the passport emblem to the standard emblem, it seems that the words and borders are in white and the background is in blue. Can someone kindly please make an SVG version of the passport variant of the emblem? Thanks in advance. --

Hi, could you make this National Labor Relations Board logo in svg format. The current image is in low resolution.
