• Per person: Emissions were around 4.8 tonnes per person per year, rated moderate on a scale where any level above zero adds warming.
• Trend: Emissions rose by around 0.12 megatonnes CO₂e a year, or 5.94% yearly, over the ten years to 2024, rather than the 4% yearly decline the world needs to achieve Net Zero in 2050 and limit warming to around 1.7 °C.
• What drives it: CO₂ makes up 91.28% of emissions, methane 6.33%, nitrous oxide 2.4% and F-gases 0%.
