About This Statistic
Annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agriculture, energy, waste, and industrial sectors, excluding LULUCF divided by the GDP in 2021 PPP $.
MapTheory uses only finite 2024 observations mapped to ISO 3166-1 numeric country codes. Aggregates, missing values and other years are excluded without estimation. Discovery motivation: GitHub Trending highlighted infrastructure, system design and AI tools, motivating a country comparison of economy-wide carbon intensity per unit of purchasing-power-adjusted output.
Methodology
Annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agriculture, energy, waste, and industrial sectors, excluding LULUCF divided by the GDP in 2021 PPP $.
