Consumption-based CO2 emissions
CO2 emissions caused by what a country consumes, imports included and exports left out, per person.
Consumption-based emissions assign CO2 to the country where goods are consumed rather than where they are made: a country's own emissions, plus those embedded in its imports, minus those in its exports. They show whether a country has cut its emissions or moved them abroad. The Global Carbon Project estimates them from trade and energy data, and Our World in Data republishes the per-person figures. Fewer countries are covered than for production-based CO2.
