Emissions of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, per capita by country [2] Greenhouse gas emissions by Australia totalled 533 million tonnes CO 2-equivalent based on greenhouse gas national inventory report data for 2019; representing per capita CO 2 e emissions of 21 tons, [3] three times the global average. Coal was responsible for 30% of ...
The following table lists the annual CO 2 emissions estimates (in kilotons of CO 2 per year) for the year 2023, as well as the change from the year 2000. [4] The data only consider carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels and cement manufacture, but not emissions from land use, land-use change and forestry.
They are measured in carbon dioxide-equivalents over a 100-year timescale. [n 2] The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 6th assessment report finds that the "Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU)" sector on average, accounted for 13–21% of global total anthropogenic GHG emissions in the period 2010–2019. [3]
It was noted that emissions from sectors subject to the pricing mechanism were 1.0% lower [9] and nine months after the introduction of the pricing scheme, Australia's carbon dioxide emissions from electricity generation had fallen to a 10-year low, with coal generation down 11% from 2008 to 2009.

BRUSSELS/BERLIN (Reuters) -The vast majority of planet-warming carbon dioxide emissions since 2016 can be traced to a group of 57 fossil fuel and cement producers, researchers said on Thursday.
This would complement the National Emissions Trading Scheme. The roadmap begins desiring to promote and develop alternative fuels. Standards must then be set for compulsory fuel consumption and carbon dioxide, and further compulsory emissions standards. The roadmap continues to suggest alternative fuel market mandates.
Australian per-capita emissions of carbon dioxide in 2007 were 18.8 tons of CO 2, compared to the EU average of 7.9 tons. The change in emissions from 1990 to 2007 was +52.5 percent, compared to the EU's -3.3 percent. [40] The per-capita carbon footprint in Australia was rated 12th in the world by PNAS in 2011. [41]
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 ...
