Qatar has the highest per capita carbon dioxide emissions worldwide, at **** metric tons per person. Many countries in the Middle East had high levels emissions, especially when compared to countries in Africa. Greenhouse gas emissions worldwide Some of the Middle East’s largest oil producing countries, including Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia are among the world’s largest carbon dioxide (CO₂) emitters per capita. Countries such as the United States, Australia and Canada also show disproportionately high levels of emission per inhabitant. Despite a relatively low population for its size, Canada’s CO₂ emissions have recently surpassed *** million metric tons, and the country is now amongst the largest producers of CO₂ emissions worldwide. Rising emissions Global greenhouse gas emissions have been on the rise since the industrial revolution began approximately 200 years ago. Over the past half-century CO₂ emissions have skyrocketed, and climbed to a record high in recent years. Yet, emissions fell considerably in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused disruptions to transportation and industrial activities.

The average for 2023 based on 189 countries was 4.76 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per capita. The highest value was in Palau: 81.21 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per capita and the lowest value was in Micronesia: 0 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per capita. The indicator is available from 1970 to 2023. Below is a chart for all countries where data are available.

Over the past two decades, many developing countries have experienced significant growth in per capita emissions. This is particularly the case in Asia. Fueled by rapid industrialization, per capita emissions in Vietnam have increased by almost 400 percent since 2000. Per capita emissions in China, India, and Indonesia have also increased substantially during this period. In comparison, per capita emissions in developed countries such as the United Kingdom have halved since 2000. Per capita emissions The growth in per capita emissions in China has coincided with the country becoming the world’s biggest emitter. However, despite the vast amounts of carbon dioxide China releases every year, its per capita emissions are far lower than in many other countries, at just eight metric tons per person. In comparison, the average American produces nearly 15 metric tons of carbon dioxide a year. This is three times higher than the average per capita emissions worldwide. Emissions in oil producing countries Per capita emissions are noticeably higher in oil producing countries. In the Middle East region, Qatar and Kuwait average more than 25 metric tons of CO₂ per inhabitant. People in more populous oil producing countries, such as Canada and Australia, average roughly 15 metric tons of carbon dioxide a year.

Saudi Arabia is the largest per capita emitter of fossil carbon dioxide (CO₂) among G20 countries. In 2023, emissions in the Middle Eastern country amounted to just over ** metric tons per person (tCO₂/cap). Meanwhile, India had the lowest per capita CO₂ emissions, at around *** tCO₂/cap.

Population vs emissions Despite being the most populated G20 country, India has the lowest per capita CO₂ emissions of them all. This is mainly due to India’s economy being largely agrarian. Additionally, per capita energy consumption in the South Asian country is relatively low compared to many developed nations. On the other hand, Canada, which has a small population size of roughly ** million, had the second-largest emissions per capita in the G20. The North American country’s oil and gas industry is a key factor for this. Emissions from oil and gas production Other major oil and gas producers, such as Saudi Arabia, the U.S., and Russia, are also among the biggest per capita emitters globally. Russia alone accounted for nearly a ******* of global GHG emissions from oil and gas production in 2022, while the U.S. contributed almost ** percent.

The world is becoming more modernized by the year, and with this becoming all the more polluted.

Qatar had the highest per capita carbon dioxide emissions worldwide in 2023, at 42.6 metric tons per person. Per capita emissions in Qatar have remained relatively stable in recent years, but have fallen notably since the mid-2000s.In 1985, the tiny Dutch Caribbean island of Curaçao had the highest CO₂ emissions per capita in the world, at 90 metric tons, but by 2020, this figure had fallen to just 10 metric tons per person. Greenhouse gas emissions worldwide Several of the Middle East’s largest oil producing countries, including Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia, are among the world’s largest per capita CO₂ emitters. Per capita emissions in Saudi Arabia have experienced a growth of roughly 75 percent since 1990. Canada is another major oil producing country with high CO₂ emissions per capita. Rising emissions Global greenhouse gas emissions have been on the rise since the industrial revolution began approximately 200 years ago. However, over the past 50 years CO₂ emissions have skyrocketed, and are projected to have reached a new record high in 2024.

Carbon dioxide emissions per person by country with historical trends and regional analysis

The average for 2023 based on 20 countries was 2.3 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per capita. The highest value was in Puerto Rico: 4.31 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per capita and the lowest value was in Haiti: 0.3 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per capita. The indicator is available from 1970 to 2023. Below is a chart for all countries where data are available.

United States CO2 Emissions: Tonnes of CO2 Equivalent per Capita per Year data was reported at 13.831 Tonne in 2023. This records a decrease from the previous number of 14.240 Tonne for 2022. United States CO2 Emissions: Tonnes of CO2 Equivalent per Capita per Year data is updated yearly, averaging 19.743 Tonne from Dec 1970 (Median) to 2023, with 54 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 22.748 Tonne in 1973 and a record low of 13.475 Tonne in 2020. United States CO2 Emissions: Tonnes of CO2 Equivalent per Capita per Year data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by European Commission’s Directorate-General for Joint Research Centre. The data is categorized under Global Database’s United States – Table US.DG JRC.EDGAR: Environmental: Greenhouse Gas Emissions: CO2 Emissions: Annual.

Per capita carbon dioxide emissions in the United States were estimated at 14 metric tons (tCO₂) in 2024. Under a business-as-usual scenario based on laws and regulations as of December 2024 under evolutionary technological growth assumptions, U.S. per capita emissions would fall to 9.2 tCO₂ by 2050. Since 1990, U.S. per capita emissions have reduced by roughly 30 percent. Americans have a large carbon footprint Although per capita emissions have fallen in the U.S., they are still far higher than other countries. This is especially the case when compared to other major GHG emitters like China and India. In 2023, per capita GHG emissions in the U.S. were 17.2 tCO₂e, roughly 2.5 times the global average. Which state has the largest carbon footprint? The U.S. state with the largest carbon footprint is Wyoming. In 2022, energy-related per capita CO₂ emissions in Wyoming were 96.6 tCO₂, roughly six times the national average. This is because of the states polluting coal industry.
