CO₂ emissions per capita ranking

This ranking orders countries by territorial CO₂ emissions per capita (tonnes of CO₂ equivalent per person per year). Territorial emissions count greenhouse gases produced within a country’s borders. Higher values indicate higher per-person emissions. Data sources include Our World in Data and similar datasets. Use this to compare countries by production-based emissions and see how your country ranks globally.
