Analysis
In 2023, ippu — emissions per capita in India stood at 0.23 t CO2eq/cap. That is the highest value across all 34 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 4.5% on the previous year and up 53.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, ippu — emissions per capita in India peaked at 0.23 t CO2eq/cap in 2023 and was at its lowest, 0.06 t CO2eq/cap, in 1990.
That places India 105th out of 208 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the middle of the range.
The long-run direction has been consistently rising across the 34 years of available data.

About this data
The FAOSTAT domain on Emissions indicators disseminates indicators on sectoral shares of total national greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as well as three indicators of emissions intensity: per capita emissions; emissions per value of agricultural production; and emissions per area of agricultural land.
