Latest source-dated evidence
These values are embedded in the page so readers and search engines can see the evidence without waiting for JavaScript. The live dashboard may retrieve a newer observation; the year beside each value remains authoritative.
What the available evidence suggests
Expression pressure is the clearest regional warning in the available evidence. The low homicide average is based on only four of 22 countries at the latest year and must not be interpreted as representative. Carbon coverage is also partial.
The most important limitation
The 22-code grouping is an analytical choice. Missing conflict-affected or non-reporting countries can materially bias an equal-country average.
Different indicators describe different samples
The homicide figure covers four of 22 countries, about 18.2% of the group. The carbon value covers ten of 22, about 45.5%. These are different samples. Their displayed averages cannot establish a relationship between violence and emissions across the Arab world.
The expression series covers 21 of 22 countries, but broader country coverage does not make an equally weighted mean a population-weighted regional estimate. The displayed carbon mean of 13.57 tonnes should not be assigned to a typical resident. A useful next step is to inspect which ten economies contribute to the carbon figure and how the result changes when the same members and years are held constant.
Interpretation added 13 September 2026 using the dated snapshot above and, where named, the linked country profiles. Calculations are illustrative comparisons of those published values; underlying observations have not been refreshed in this edit.
How to read this profile
- Compare values only when units and definitions match.
- Keep the observation year beside every claim.
- Treat expert-coded expression data differently from administrative death statistics.
- Read consumption-based carbon in its original physical unit, independently of the other indicators.
- Never convert missing data into zero.
