Description: A subset of Global Energy Monitor's "Global Coal Mine Tracker" dataset. Coal mines that are no longer in operation or no longer in development have been removed, along with locations outside of legally protected areas.A note on status definitions:Operating Mines commissioned and in commercial operationProposed Mines that have been announced, under exploration, permitted, or under construction, but not yet operatingAnnounced Projects that have appeared in corporate or governmental planning documents or media coverageExploration Mines that are moving forward in one or more of the following ways: pre-feasibility studies, geological exploration, applying for environmental permits, acquiring land, acquiring water rights, or securing financingPermitted Projects that have secured all environmental permits, including a mine plan, but have not broken groundConstruction Projects where physical construction is proceedingFurther information on the methodology used the create the original dataset can be found at https://globalenergymonitor.org/projects/global-coal-mine-tracker/methodology/

Description: Created by overlaying the Protected Areas layer with the Coal Deposits layer. Areas indicated may be at risk of coal mining and other fossil fuel extraction activity (such as coal-bed methane).

Description: By combining the USGS's global (non-US) and national (US) surveys of technically recoverable conventional oil and gas resources, a complete picture of the world's oil and gas deposits was created. The boundaries of oil-bearing regions are conservatively drawn, at risk of underestimating the area of underlying deposits. This map will be updated as new assessments are published by the USGS.

Description: Statistics were calculated using fossil fuel reserve data from the Bundesanstalt für Geowissenschaften und Rohstoffe (BGR) [Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources], and CO2 conversion calculations from the Leave it in the Ground Initiative. Statistics are calculated based on data from Rystad Energy, Global Energy Monitor, and land area measurements. National boundaries provided by the Flanders Marine Institute.

Description: By combining multiple surveys, a complete picture of the world's coal deposits was created. The boundaries of coal regions are drawn using a variety of methodologies, due to the diverse sources needed to complete a global assessment. This map will be updated as new assessments become available.
