List of countries by carbon dioxide emissions

Countries by carbon dioxide emissions in thousands of tonnes per annum, via the burning of fossil fuels (blue the highest and green the lowest).
Total CO2 emissions by country in 2017 vs per capita emissions (top 40 countries)
Total Emissions CO2 for the period 1970 to 2017 and 2017 emissions, by country
China CO
2 emission in millions of tonnes from 1980 to 2009.

This is a list of sovereign states and territories by carbon dioxide emissions due to certain forms of human activity, based on the EDGAR database created by European Commission and Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency released in 2018. The following table lists the 1990, 2005 and 2017 annual CO
2 emissions estimates (in Megatonnes of CO
2 per year) along with a list of calculated emissions per km² (in tonnes of CO
2 per year) and emissions per capita (in tonnes of CO
2 per year).

The data only consider carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels and cement manufacture, but not emissions from land use, land-use change and forestry. Emissions from international shipping or bunker fuels are also not included in national figures,[1] which can make a large difference for small countries with important ports. The top 10 largest emitter countries account for 67.6% of the world total. Since 2006, China has been emitting more CO
2 than any other country[2][3][4][5][6], due to its very large population; when looking at CO
2 pollution per person, China's levels are less than half those of the United States (the next largest source of CO
2 emissions), and one sixth of Qatar the biggest CO
2 polluter per person.

Other powerful, more potent greenhouse gases, including methane, are not included in the data of this article.
