Analysis
Australia recorded 2.09 t CO2eq/cap for pre- and post-production — emissions per capita in 2023. That is the lowest value across all 34 years on record.
The figure is down 0.9% on the previous year and down 8.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, pre- and post-production — emissions per capita in Australia peaked at 2.79 t CO2eq/cap in 2009 and was at its lowest, 2.09 t CO2eq/cap, in 2023.
That places Australia 8th out of 209 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the top 10%.
The long-run direction has been consistently falling 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.
