CO2 Emissions per Capita (metric tons per capita) for 203 countries, with the latest available year and the earliest year on record.

What this is. Carbon dioxide emissions per person, excluding those from land use change. There is usually a multi-year lag because of how emissions are reported.

Ranking — latest available year

Countries are sorted by their most recent reported value. The first-year column shows the earliest year for which the World Bank publishes a figure for that country, which is not the same year for every country.
