About This Dataset
Countries by CO2 Emissions Per Capita 2025
Countries ranked by carbon dioxide emissions per person in 2025, in tonnes of CO2 per capita, according to Global Carbon Project and IEA data. Qatar has the highest figure at 33.4 tonnes per person, ahead of Kuwait on 25.1 and the United Arab Emirates on 23.6.
Four of the eight countries in the table are Gulf oil and gas producers, including Saudi Arabia on 18.5. The other four are Australia (14.8), the United States (14.2), Canada (13.8) and Russia (12.7).
Per-person figures divide a country's total emissions by its population, so a small population can produce a high value even when total emissions are modest. A ranking by total emissions would look very different, with the largest countries at the top.
