What these figures mean
Indicators update on different schedules, so this page does not force them into a single “current” score. The year beside each number is part of the evidence.
CO₂ per person is calculated only when emissions and population observations are no more than two years apart. Other values reproduce their source measure.
Sources, dates and limitations
Indicators come from the World Bank. Country identity is checked against the public-domain OurAirports country reference.
