This is a list of sovereign states and territories by per capita carbon dioxide emissions [n 1] due to certain forms of human activity, based on the EDGAR database created by European Commission. The following table lists the annual per capita CO 2 emissions estimates (in kilotons of CO 2 per year) for the year 2023, as well as the change from ...
Countries with the lowest GDPs per capita (yellow) and the lowest cumulative emissions will often suffer the greatest declines in their income relative to a hypothetical future where the impacts of climate change were not happening [1] Other studies investigate economic losses by GDP change per country or by per country per capita.
EPI scores vs GDP per capita, 2024 [2] Countries’ wealth is a strong predictor of their overall environmental performance, but some countries vastly outperform their economic peers, while others lag. EPI scores are positively correlated with a country's wealth, although after a point, increasing wealth yields diminishing. returns.
Although subject to continuing debate, there is considerable evidence to support the application of the environmental Kuznets curve for various environmental health indicators, such as water, air pollution and ecological footprint which show the inverted U-shaped curve as per capita income and/or GDP rise.
Some argue that for a fair comparison, emissions should be analyzed in terms of the amount of CO 2 per capita. [12] Their main argument is illustrated by CO 2 per capita emissions in 2023, China's levels (9.24) are almost two thirds those of the United States (13.83) and less than a sixth of those of Palau (62.59 – the country with the ...
This is a list of countries by nominal GDP per capita. GDP per capita is often considered an indicator of a country's standard of living; [1] [2] however, this is inaccurate because GDP per capita is not a measure of personal income. Measures of personal income include average wage, real income, median income, disposable income and GNI per capita.
The major environmental impacts in China were from air, water, and solid waste pollution. [20] The first green GDP accounting report, for 2004, was published in September 2006. It showed that the financial loss caused by pollution was 511.8 billion yuan ($66.3 billion), or 3.05 percent of the nation's economy. [22]
605,664 gallons of water for parts and tires; [10] 682 lbs. of pollution at a mine for the lead battery; [10] 2178 lbs. of discharge into water supply for the 22 lbs. of copper contained in the car. [10] The more cars per capita, the greater the impact.
