Analysis
The most recent figure for pre- and post-production — emissions per capita in Europe is 1.07 t CO2eq/cap, measured in 2023.
The figure is down 0.9% on the previous year and down 6.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, pre- and post-production — emissions per capita in Europe peaked at 1.14 t CO2eq/cap in 2006 and was at its lowest, 0.7 t CO2eq/cap, in 1990.
That places Europe 6th out of 44 regions with data for 2023, putting it in the top quarter.
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.
