About this data
Emissions are counted where the fuel is burned. Goods made in one country and used in another count for the maker, and fuel for international flights and ships is not given to any country.
Big populations rank high on totals and low per person: compare the CO2 per capita table. Methane and other greenhouse gases are not included.
FAQ
Which country emits the most CO2?
China, with 13,124.73 million tonnes in 2024, followed by United States (4,632.16 Mt) and India (3,153.83 Mt).
How much CO2 does the world emit?
39,632.66 million tonnes in 2024, not counting land use and forests.
Does this include deforestation?
No. The series excludes land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF), so forest loss and regrowth are not in these numbers.
