About: Countries by CO2 Emissions Per Capita 2025
Overview of the data behind this chart
Countries ranked by carbon dioxide emissions per person in 2025, measured in tonnes of CO2 per capita according to Global Carbon Project and IEA Greenhouse Gas Emissions data. Qatar records the highest CO2 emissions per capita of any country — a consequence of its extreme climate requiring year-round intensive air conditioning, an energy-intensive liquefied natural gas export industry that constitutes the foundation of its economy, heavily subsidised domestic fuel and electricity prices that eliminate conservation incentives, and a small citizen population relative to the enormous industrial infrastructure required to process and export its hydrocarbon reserves. Gulf states dominate the top of per-capita emissions rankings for these structural reasons, contrasting sharply with their relatively modest contributions to global absolute emissions totals.
