List of countries by carbon dioxide emissions per capita
- List of countries by carbon dioxide emissions per capita
This is a list of countries by carbon dioxide emissions per capita from 1990 through 2004. All data were calculated by the US Department of Energy's Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center (CDIAC), mostly based on data collected from country agencies by the [http://unstats.un.org/unsd/default.htm United Nations Statistics Division] .
For some countries, figures are unavailable; their levels of carbon dioxide emissions have been estimated where noted. Some dependencies and territories whose independence has not been generally recognized are also included, as they are in source data.
Countries are ranked by their metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions per capita in 2004.

Notes
Source: [http://mdgs.un.org/unsd/mdg/Data.aspx United Nations Millennium Development Goals Indicators] (accessed 12 September 2007). The carbon dioxide emissions of a country are only an indicator of one greenhouse gas. For a more complete idea of how a country influences climate change gases such as methane and nitrous oxide should be taken into account. This is particularly so in agricultural economies.
