Share of global CO₂ emissions vs. share of population, 2015

Each country's national carbon dioxide emissions (CO₂) emissions as a share of the global total versus its share of the world population. CO₂ emissions are
production-based national emissions and do not include emissions embedded in trade (i.e. consumption-based). Countries which lie above the parity line have an
emissions share higher than their share of the global population.
