					<description><![CDATA[The top producer of sunflower seeds in 2016 was Ukraine with 13,626,890 tons, followed by Russia (11,010,197 tons), Argentina  (3,000,367 tons), China (2,587,422 tons) and Romania (2,032,340 tons). Bulgaria, Turkey, Hungary, United States and France complete the top 10.

The Russian invasion in 2022 impacted all agricultural production in the Ukraine. The sunflower production peaked in 2021 and then dropped significantly in 2022. It now stabilised on the 2016 levels.

					<description><![CDATA[Olives are traditionally grown in the mediterranean area. So it is no surprise that all top producing countries are on all sides of the Mediterranean sea.

The top producer of olives by far is Spain ( 6,559,884 tons) followed by Greece (2,343,383 tons), Italy (2,092,175 tons), Turkey (1,730,000 tons) and Morocco (1,416,107 tons). Syria, Tunisia, Algeria, Egypt and Portugal complete the top 10.

Spain is also the top producer of olive oil, usually responsible for 40-50% of the total global production.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Kyoto Protocol was the first serious effort to not only acknowledging a role of humans in global warming, but to also implement measures to reducing this impact caused by greenhouse gas emissions. Since then, carbon emissions have been rising constantly, largely fuelled by considerable economic growth.

Qatar has the highest emission of Carbon per capita (37 tons per year), followed by New Caledonia (30 t/y), Mongolia (26 t/y), Trinidad and Tobago (25 t/y) and Brunei (23 t/y). Overall 24 countries have Carbon emissions of more than 10 tons per capita. Democratic Republic of the Congo has the lowest Carbon emission per capita (0.027 t/y), followed by Somalia (0.035 t/y), Central African Republic (0.039 t/y) and Burundi (0.05 t/y). Overall just under 60 countries have a per capita Carbon emissions lower than 1 ton per year.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p style="font-weight: 400;">The most commonly accepted definition of proven reserves of oil and gas is "<em> The quantities of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in the future from known oil and gas reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. They represent strictly technical judgments, and are not knowingly influenced by attitudes of conservatism or optimism," </em>developed by the <a href="https://www.spe.org/industry/docs/Definitions-Proved-Reserves-for-Property-Evaluation-1965.pdf">Society of Petroleum Engineers</a>. Those proven reserves include both developed and undeveloped reserves.</p>
The biggest proven oil reserves in 2021 were located in Venezuela (304.000 million barrels), followed by Saudi Arabia (267.000), Iran (209.000), Iraq (201.000) and Canada (170.000). United Arabian Emirates (113.000), Kuwait (109.000), Russia (80.000), USA (74.000) and Libya (50.000) complete the Top 10.

					<description><![CDATA[The years left of oil reserves is calculated based on the proven reserves and the annual production volume. Any change in that volume will change the number of years left. The most years left of proven reserves has Venezuela with 885, followed by Yemen (548 years) and Suriname (548 years), Georgia (479 years) and the Philippines (304 years). Chile (261 years), Slovakia (247 years), Syria (196 years), Iran (134 years) and South Sudan (130 years) complete the Top 10.

The most commonly accepted definition of proven reserves of oil and gas is "<em> The quantities of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in the future from known oil and gas reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions.
