Analysis
The most recent figure for co2 per capita marimekko in China is 8.66, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 118 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 1.2% on the previous year and up 20.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, co2 per capita marimekko 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.
