Consumption-based CO₂ per capita ranking
This ranking uses consumption-based CO₂ per capita, which assigns emissions to the country where goods and services are consumed rather than produced. It accounts for emissions embedded in imports and excludes those in exports. Countries that import a lot of manufactured goods often have higher consumption-based emissions than territorial emissions. Useful for understanding the full carbon footprint of a country’s lifestyle and trade patterns.
