Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions excluding LULUCF per capita (t CO2e/capita)

Emissions per person excluding land use, which is the figure the General Debate argues about rather than the national total.

Most recent year reported for each state, shaded by quintile — not by equal steps, because this indicator spans orders of magnitude and equal steps would paint almost every state the same. Equal Earth projection, which is equal-area: a map that inflates area would shade with it. 162 states drawn.

24 member states have a figure and no shape on this map. The outlines come from Natural Earth’s 110m dataset, which has no polygon for a state below a certain size, and almost all of these are small island or micro-states. They are not missing from the data — only from the picture: Antigua and Barbuda, Bahrain, Barbados, Comoros, Cabo Verde, Dominica, Micronesia, Fed. Sts., Grenada, Kiribati, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, Maldives, Marshall Islands, Malta, Mauritius, Naoero, Palau, Singapore, Sao Tome and Principe, Seychelles, Tonga, Tuvalu, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Samoa.

How the World Bank defines it

Total annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agriculture, energy, waste, and industrial sectors, excluding LULUCF, standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values divided by the economy's population. This measure excludes GHG fluxes caused by Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF), as these fluxes have larger uncertainties.

Each state is shown at the most recent year it reports, which is not the same year for every state. Comparing a 2025 figure with a 2019 one is comparing different years, and this table does not pretend otherwise.
