2023-09-03 · 2023 fossil CO₂ per person (OWID, scaled)
Who emits most CO₂ per person
National totals hide how much each person emits. In 2023 fossil CO₂ per capita was about 14 t in the United States, ~8 t in China, ~6 t in the EU, and under 2 t in India — while petro-states like Qatar are far higher (OWID).

Context
This view is tonnes of fossil CO₂ per person in 2023 (Our World in Data), not the national share of global emissions on the paired grid.
Cell counts scale four OWID per-capita rates to 1,000 cells for visual comparison.
Wikipedia (EDGAR) tops the table with Qatar, Kuwait, and similar petro-states — often far above the US.
