List of countries by greenhouse gas emissions per capita
This is a list of countries by total greenhouse gas emissions per capita by year. It provides data based on a production-based accounting of emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, perfluorocarbon, hydrofluorocarbon, and sulfur hexafluoride, compiled by the World Resources Institute and divided by the population estimate by the United Nations of the same year. The emissions data do not include land-use change and forestry, nor emissions from the consumption of imported goods. All countries which are party to the Paris Agreement report their greenhouse gas inventories at least biennially from 2024. The global average annual carbon footprint per person in the late 2010s was 0.7 tonnes CO2eq food, 1.1 tonnes from the home, 0.8 tonnes transport and 0.8 tonnes other.
