The List of Countries Ranked by Carbon Dioxide Emissions Per Capita (2017)

The following is a list of major countries or territories ranked by their fossil CO₂ emissions per capita in the year of 2017 (in tonnes of CO₂), which were calculated using the latest database released by Global Carbon Project released on 5 December 2018 and the population data estimated by the World Population Foundation. For each nation or territory, the value of total CO₂ emissions in 2017 (in million tonnes of CO₂) is also presented. Those nations or territories with less than 1 tonne of fossil CO₂ emissions per capita and those with a total of less than 10 million tonnes of fossil CO₂ emissions are not included. Globally, on average, the estimate of fossil CO₂ emissions per capita is 4.79 tonnes in 2017. In total, there are 73 nations or territories with fossil CO₂ emissions per capita above the average.

Note: The nations or territories with less than 1 tonne of fossil CO2 emissions per capita and those with a total of less than 10 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions are not presented.
