Where the data comes from
Country data: World Bank (World Development Indicators, Worldwide Governance Indicators), ILO modelled estimates, FAO (FAOSTAT), UNDP (Human Development Report), UNHCR Refugee Population Statistics Database, Ember (electricity), the Global Carbon Project (CO₂) and the UN World Population Prospects and World Urbanization Prospects, under CC BY 4.0 and CC BY 3.0 IGO. The World Bank in turn takes many series from the ILO, IMF and others, named on each indicator page. Borders: Natural Earth (public domain). Sources and licences.
For European countries there is more detail from Eurostat - regions and EU-specific indicators - in a separate section, Europe in detail. It uses different methods, so its numbers are not mixed with the world data.
