How much greenhouse gas falls on each resident — all gases, not CO2 alone.
The ranking uses the latest available value for each country. For all of them that is 2024.
Top-20 · tonnes CO₂e per capita
The scale does not start at zero — the values lie in a narrow range, and starting from zero the bars would be indistinguishable. The axis ticks are labeled.

Emissions of all greenhouse gases per person, converted into CO2 equivalent. It differs from CO2 emissions per capita in that it counts methane and nitrous oxide, and that changes the picture: countries with large livestock herds and little industry rise considerably higher in this ranking than they do on carbon dioxide alone. The per capita indicator is the one usually used when the fairness of sharing the reduction effort is discussed.
Important: The aggregate for a group is all of its emissions divided by all of its population. All greenhouse gases are counted in CO2 equivalent using 100-year warming potentials.
How many tonnes of carbon dioxide each resident of a country accounts for in a year.
Emissions 1850–2024 Greenhouse gas emissionsAll greenhouse gases in CO2 equivalent, including methane and nitrous oxide.
Emissions 1850–2024 Greenhouse gases excluding land useAll greenhouse gases except emissions from deforestation and land-use change.
Emissions 1850–2024 Methane emissionsHow much methane a country emits — converted into CO2 equivalent.
