Measure: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions excluding LULUCF per capita (t CO2e/capita)

Unit: tonnes CO2-equivalent per person, excluding LULUCF

This source covers carbon dioxide emissions excluding land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF). The unit is tonnes of CO₂-equivalent per person. It is not the total of all greenhouse gases, and per-person values are distinct from national emission totals.

The simple mean of country rates is not a population-weighted world average. The table shows each available country estimate and its reference year; it does not establish a global emissions trend.

Read the original measurement definition

Total annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agriculture, energy, waste, and industrial sectors, excluding LULUCF, standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values divided by the economy's population. This measure excludes GHG fluxes caused by Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF), as these fluxes have larger uncertainties.
