Datasets

IEA EWEB International Energy Agency Extended World Energy Balances

The IEAEWEB is the UN's accounting of energy consumption and transformation at the primary and final stages for many countries from 1960 or 1971 to today.

FAOSTAT UN Food and Agriculture Organization statistical data

FAOSTAT provides country-level data for animals and crops. The CL-PFU database uses data for crops and livestock products.

ILOSTAT UN International Labour Organization data

ILOSTAT provides country-level data for workers in various industries. The CL-PFU database uses data for employment in economic sectors.
