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 ...
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.
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.
Some argue that for a fair comparison, emissions should be analyzed in terms of the amount of CO 2 and GHG per capita. [7] Considering GHG per capita emissions in 2023, China's levels (11.11) are almost two-thirds those of the United States (17.61) and almost a sixth of those of Palau (65,29) – the country with the highest emissions of GHG ...
[9] [10] [11] However, the main disadvantage of measuring total national emissions is that it does not take population size into account. China has the largest CO 2 emissions in the world, but also the second largest population. Some argue that for a fair comparison, emissions should be analyzed in terms of the amount of CO 2 per capita. [12]
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.
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.
This is similar to nominal GDP per capita but adjusted for the cost of living in each country. In 2023, the estimated average GDP per capita (PPP) of all of the countries was Int$22,452. [a] For rankings regarding wealth, see list of countries by wealth per adult.
