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. [n 2] Over the last 150 years, estimated cumulative emissions from land use and land-use change represent approximately one-third of total cumulative anthropogenic CO 2 emissions ...
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 ...
Carbon dioxide (CO 2) is the dominant emitted greenhouse gas, while methane (CH 4) emissions almost have the same short-term impact. [5] Nitrous oxide (N 2 O) and fluorinated gases (F-gases) play a lesser role in comparison.
They are measured in carbon dioxide-equivalents over a 100-year timescale. 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.

World map of emission intensity (kg of CO 2 per Intl$), 2018. The following list of countries by carbon intensity of GDP sorts countries by their emission intensity.Carbon intensity or emission intensity of GDP is a measure that evaluates the amount of carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions produced per unit of GDP.
A carbon bomb, or climate bomb, [34] is any new extraction of hydrocarbons from underground whose potential greenhouse gas emissions exceed 1 billion tonnes of CO 2 worldwide. In 2022, a study showed that there are 425 fossil fuel extraction projects (coal, oil and gas) with potential CO2 emissions of more than 1 billion tonnes worldwide.
English: Chart showing greenhouse gas emissions per person, by country, for countries with the most total emissions, with the area of each column showing total emissions VERSION 7 (updated through 2022 data)
According to the review of the scientific literature conducted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), carbon dioxide is the most important anthropogenic greenhouse gas by warming contribution. [9] The European Union is at the forefront of international efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and thus safeguard the planet's ...
