You find consumption-based emissions later in this country profile. These figures look specifically at CO 2 emissions – not total greenhouse gas emissions. You find total, and other greenhouse gas emissions, later in this country profile. Annual emissions can be largely influenced by population size – we present the per capita figures above. Total household carbon footprint across 177 EU regions in tonnes of CO2 equivalent, encompassing both direct and embodied emissions. Note that only national averages are shown for Sweden and the Netherlands. Source: Ivanova et.al 2017. As for the per capita map, this also clearly shows large differences in emissions between regions. Asia is by far the largest emitter, accounting for 53% of global emissions. As it is home to 60% of the world’s population this means that per capita emissions in Asia are slightly lower than the world average, however. China is, by a significant margin, Asia’s and the world’s largest emitter: it emits nearly 10 billion tonnes each year If every country were to meet its stated climate goals, America’s per capita emissions would decline and converge with China’s by 2030, the Rhodium Group estimated. Total emissions and emissions per capita declined from 2007 to 2009, due in part to a drop in U.S. economic production during this time. Emissions decreased again from 2010 to 2012 and continued downward largely due to the growing use of natural gas and renewables to generate electricity in place of more carbon-intensive fuels. 3 This is because the emissions growth recorded in China and India suggests that citizens of these countries are now the biggest contributors to climate change. In reality, however, even after the dramatic growth recorded over the past three decades, per capita emissions remain higher in both Europe (7.3 MtCO2) and the US (16.1 MtCO2) than China Ai8siE.

As for the per capita map, this also clearly shows large differences in emissions between regions. In 2020, EU's consumption-based CO₂-emissions are estimated at 3.2 billion tonnes. More than 70% of those originate from the EU economy itself. Some 10% originate from non-EU and non-G20 countries (rest of the World grouping in Table 2). With 6.6 %, China is the single country with the biggest share in EU's consumption-based CO₂-emissions You find consumption-based emissions later in this country profile.

In contrast, most countries across Africa have been responsible for less than 0.01% of all emissions over the last 266 years. What becomes clear when we look at emissions across the world today is that the
