Co2 emissions vs gdp, gaps filled in China, 1907–2024
Source: Statizoid (derived).
Analysis
In 2024, co2 emissions vs gdp, gaps filled in China stood at 8.66. That is the highest value across all 118 years on record.
That represents a change of up 1.2% on the previous year and up 20.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, co2 emissions vs gdp, gaps filled in China peaked at 8.66 in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.0399, in 1912.
That places China 30th out of 213 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

How this figure is calculated
Co2 emissions vs gdp with 80 missing years estimated by linear interpolation between the nearest real observations. Only gaps of 4 years or fewer are filled, and never beyond the first or last actual measurement — these are filled holes, not forecasts.
Computed from
- CO₂ emissions per capita vs. GDP per capita Global Carbon Budget (2025); Population based on various sources (2024) – with major processing by Our World in Data
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
