Reading this correctly. Carbon dioxide emissions per person, excluding those from land use change. There is usually a multi-year lag because of how emissions are reported. Figures are in metric tons per capita. Comparing this series with a different measure of the same concept (for example a nominal figure against a purchasing-power-parity figure) will give misleading results.
