Europe, particularly northern Europe, is more environmentallyconscious than the United States, despite Americans’ sincere and passionate resolution to be green. Per capita CO2 emissions in the U.S. were 19.78 tons according to the Union of Concerned Scientists, which used 2006 data, compared to 9.6 tons in the U.K., 8.05 tons in Italy, and 6. The revised law increases the 2030 GHG reduction target at EU level from 30% to 40% compared to 2005-levels. For the first time, all EU countries must now reduce GHG emissions with targets ranging between 10 and 50%. The 2030-targets for each member state are based on GDP per capita and cost-effectiveness. Member states will also have to ensure India saw emissions rise by 4.8%, or 105 Mt, with the growth split evenly between power and other sectors such as transport and industry. Despite this growth, per capita emissions in India remain low at only 40% of the global average. Across Europe emissions fell by 1.3%, or 50 Mt. Road transport accounts for about a fifth of EU emissions. CO2 emissions from passenger transport varies significantly depending on the transport mode. Passenger cars are a major polluter, accounting for 61% of total CO2 emissions from EU road transport. At the moment average occupancy rate was only 1.6 people per car in Europe in 2018. Countries whose per capita emissions exceed the global average per capita emissions (which Matthews defines as a fair share) are in debt, whereas countries whose per capita emissions are lower than the global average are in credit. Matthews finds that the USA is responsible for 32% of climate debt from 1990 to 2010. View the data for this figure. Download the data for this figure. The UK carbon footprint (measured by GHG emissions) peaked in 2007 at 959 mt CO 2 e. In 2020 it was 39 per cent lower than the 5lADvQ. Big belchers. U.S. and European Union emissions from fossil fuels may be declining, but the United States and Europe still produce way more CO 2 per capita than other countries (bars represent Between 2005 and 2019, global GHG emissions per capita increased 5%, from 6.0 to 6.3 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (t CO 2 eq) In 2019, Canada was the highest GHG emitting country per capita among the top 10 emitting countries with 19.6 t CO 2 eq Canada’s GHG emissions per capita has decreased 8.5% since 2005, from 21.42 t CO 2 eq to 19 Wyoming’s per capita energy-related CO2 emissions compared with other states. The second-highest state per capita CO2 emissions level was North Dakota at 72 mt per capita. West Virginia ( 52 mt per capita), Alaska (47 mt per capita), and Louisiana (45 mt per capita) round out the five states with the highest per capita CO2 emissions. The U.S. is number 12 on the per-capita use of CO2, but since it has a much larger population than other countries, it's a top emitter. That combination of a large population and each person using CO2 emissions increased by 3.02% over the previous year, representing an increase by 569,855 tons over 2015, when CO2 emissions were 18,838,339 tons. CO2 emissions per capita in Croatia are equivalent to 4.60 tons per person (based on a population of 4,223,751 in 2016), an increase by 0.17 over the figure of 4.43 CO2 tons per person registered
