List of countries by carbon dioxide emissions

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about only carbon dioxide. For all greenhouse gases combined, see List of countries by greenhouse gas emissions.

The US, China and Russia have cumulatively contributed the greatest amounts of CO2 since 1850.[1]

CO2 emissions per capita from 1900 to 2017[2]

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 CO2 emissions estimates (in megatonnes of CO2 per year) along with a list of calculated emissions per km2 (in tonnes of CO2 per year) and emissions per capita (in tonnes of CO2 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,[3] which can make a large difference for small countries with important ports. When carbon dioxide emissions from land-use change are factored in, the majority of carbon emissions since 1905 occurred in Asia, Central and Southern America, reflecting the fact that developed nations cleared their forests in earlier centuries.[citation needed] Land-use factors have contributed nearly a third of total cumulative anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide since 1850, and until as recently as 1965 was actually a greater source of emissions than the combustion of fossil fuels and production of cement.[4] The methodology for the calculations is public.[5]

The top 10 largest emitter countries account for 67.6% of the world total. Since 2006, China has been emitting more CO2 than any other country.[6][7][8][9][10][11] When looking at CO2 emissions per person, China's levels are less than half those of the United States (the next largest source of CO2 emissions) and about one-eighth of those of Palau (the biggest CO2 emitter per person).[12]

Measures of territorial-based emissions, also known as production-based emissions, do not account for emissions embedded in global trade, where emissions may be imported or exported in the form of traded goods, as it only reports emissions emitted within geographical boundaries. Accordingly, a proportion of the CO2 produced and reported in Asia and Eastern Europe is for the production of goods consumed in Western Europe and North America.[13]

According to the review of the scientific literature conducted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), carbon dioxide is the most important anthropogenic greenhouse gas by warming contribution.[14] The other major anthropogenic greenhouse gases (methane, nitrous oxide (N2O) and some fluorinated gases (sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), and perfluorocarbons (PFCs))[15]: 147 [16]), are not included in the following list, nor are humans emissions of water vapor (H2O), the most important greenhouse gases, as they are negligible compared to naturally occurring quantities.[17] Space-based measurements of carbon dioxide should allow independent monitoring in the mid-2020s.[18]

Per capita CO2 emissions[edit]

Fossil CO2 emissions by country/region[edit]

Note: the point is a decimal point, so 1.000 Mt means 1 Mt, i.e. 1,000,000 tonne.

The key drawback of measuring the total national emissions is that it takes no account of the nation's population size. China is currently the world's largest emitter, but since it also has the largest population, all being equal we would expect this to be the case. To make a fair comparison of contributions, we have to therefore compare emissions in terms of CO2 emitted per person.
