CO₂ emissions per capita

Name: CO₂ emissions per capita — WorldScore
Creator: Global Carbon Project
License: CC BY 4.0

Tier A· Official

Annual carbon dioxide emissions per person (production-based, fossil + industry).

100 = lowest emissions per capita (best), 0 = highest

How this score is built

Production-based CO₂ emissions per capita (tonnes per person per year), from the Global Carbon Project's Global Carbon Budget, via Our World in Data. Direction is higher_worse (more emissions per person is worse for the climate).

Normalized with percentile rank (the distribution is highly skewed — a few petro-states exceed 30–40 t while most are below 10), then inverted for direction: 100 = lowest per-capita emissions, 0 = highest. Read it as a relative position; the raw tonnes are shown. This is a per-capita production measure and does not account for consumption/trade or historical responsibility.
