Analysis
Vietnam recorded 0.57 t CO2eq/cap for pre- and post-production — emissions per capita in 2023. That is the highest value across all 34 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 1.8% on the previous year and up 72.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, pre- and post-production — emissions per capita in Vietnam peaked at 0.57 t CO2eq/cap in 2023 and was at its lowest, 0.14 t CO2eq/cap, in 1993.
That places Vietnam 117th out of 223 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.
