About this data

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

Last refreshed: 06 August 2026

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.
