Qatar and the UAE record the world's highest per capita CO2 emissions among large economies — driven by energy-intensive desalination plants, air conditioning requirements in extreme heat, massive petrochemical industries, and aviation hub activity, compounded by small citizen populations that make per capita figures appear extreme.
