Sources & methodology

The ranking combines per-capita carbon footprint data compiled by Our World in Data, national inventories published by the International Energy Agency (IEA) and assessment reports by the IPCC. The color thresholds (good / medium / poor) align with the 2 tCO₂/year per capita target recommended to comply with the Paris Agreement. Flags are sourced from flagcdn.com.
