Greenhouse gas emissions have shifted across the world over the last three decades. The data for this visualization comes from the European Commission’s EDGAR database. It tracks greenhouse gas emissions per capita across the G20 from 1990 through 2024. The dataset accounts for CO₂-equivalent emissions in tonnes per capita. Land use, land-use change, and forestry are not included. While fossil-fuel-dependent economies continue to rank high, advanced industrial economies in Europe have seen marked declines. Rapidly growing middle-income countries have increased their emissions but remain far below Western levels on a per-capita basis.
