Country CO2 Emissions per capita (tons) CO2 Emissions (tons, 2016) Population (2016) 1: China: Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Emissions per Capita - Worldometer. Sources. In fact, some European countries have emissions not far from the global average: In 2017 emissions in Portugal are 5.3 tonnes; 5.5t in France; and 5.8t per person in the UK. This is also much lower than some of their neighbours with similar standards of living, such as Germany, the Netherlands, or Belgium. An increasing number of countries, sub-national governments and companies, have made net-zero GHG emissions pledges. As of 1 September 2022, net-zero targets have been adopted or proposed by 136 countries and the European Union (Figure 3). These targets cover around 83% of global carbon emissions. Of the Top 10 Emitters, the US, Russia, Japan and the EU Have Reduced Per Capita Emissions. When looking at the top 10 total GHG emitters, the EU has reduced its per capita GHG emissions by 29% since 1990 and is now ranked at number 8 (7.04 tCO2e per person), below China (8.6 tCO2e per person) and Indonesia (7.2 tCO2e per person). Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Emissions by Country in the world with Global share of CO2 greenhouse emissions by country. Per capita Share of world ; 1: China You find consumption-based emissions later in this country profile. These figures look specifically at CO 2 emissions – not total greenhouse gas emissions. You find total, and other greenhouse gas emissions, later in this country profile. Annual emissions can be largely influenced by population size – we present the per capita figures above. Asia is by far the largest emitter, accounting for 53% of global emissions. As it is home to 60% of the world’s population this means that per capita emissions in Asia are slightly lower than the world average, however. China is, by a significant margin, Asia’s and the world’s largest emitter: it emits nearly 10 billion tonnes each year climatewatchdata.org/ghg-emissions.
