738081 Per capita consumption-based CO₂ emissions tonnes per person Annual consumption-based emissions of carbon dioxide (CO₂), measured in tonnes per person. Consumption-based emissions are national or regional emissions which have been adjusted for trade (i.e. territorial/production emissions minus emissions embedded in exports, plus emissions embedded in imports). If a country's consumption-based emissions are higher than its production emissions it is a net importer of carbon dioxide. Consumption-based CO₂ emissions have been converted by Our World in Data from tonnes of carbon to tonnes of CO₂ using a conversion factor of 3.664. 2023-07-20 13:42:36 2024-04-08 12:14:22     1990-2021 6139   t/person

    "Consumption-based emissions attribute the emissions generated in the production of goods and services according to where they were _consumed_, rather than where they were _produced_.",
    "The data is calculated by adjusting 'production-based' emissions (emissions produced domestically) for trade: Consumption-based emissions equals production-based emissions, _minus_ emissions embedded in exports, _plus_ emissions embedded in imports.",
    "If a country's consumption-based emissions are higher than its production emissions it is a net importer of carbon dioxide. If its consumption-based emissions are lower, then it is a net exporter.",
    "Per capita emissions represent the emissions of an average person in a country or region - they are total emissions divided by population.",
    "Consumption-based emissions are not available for all countries because not all countries have sufficient, high-quality trade data. But those without complete data are a small fraction (3%) of the global total.",
    "This data measures Carbon dioxide (CO\u2082) emissions from fossil fuels and industry and does not include emissions from land use change, deforestation, soils, or vegetation.",
    "Emissions from international aviation and shipping are not included in any country or region's emissions. They are only included in the global total emissions."
