About This Dataset
Countries by CO2 Emissions Per Capita 2024
Per-capita emissions rank small petrostates far above the largest total emitters. Qatar's figure reflects a small population set against energy-intensive gas liquefaction, desalination and year-round cooling. China and India, which lead the world on absolute emissions, do not appear here at all, a reminder that per-capita and total rankings answer different questions about responsibility for climate change.
