CO2 emissions Canada 2019

Lower CO2 emissions in Canada

In Canada, CO2 emissions during 2019 have fallen 12.879 megatons, 2.12% compared to 2018.

CO2 emissions in 2019 were 593.979 megatons, making Canada is among the ten most polluting countries en lo que respecta a emisiones de dióxido de carbono delin terms of carbon dioxide emissions in the ranking of countries for CO2 emissions, made up of 184 countries, in which the countries are ranked from least to most pollutant.

In addition to its total emissions of CO2 into the atmospher, which logically depend, among other variables, on the country's population, it is convenient to analyze the behavior of its emissions per inhabitant. In the table we see that per capita CO2 emissions in Canada, have decreased in 2019, in which they have been 15.93 tons per inhabitant.

Canada belongs to the group of countries that emit the most CO2 per inhabitant.

Finally, it is interesting to observe the behavior f CO2 emissions per 1000 dollars of GDP, which measures, for the same country, the "environmental efficiency" with which it is produced over time. In the last period, Canada, has emitted 0.32 kilos for every $ 1,000 of GDP, a lower figure than in 2018.

In the table we can see the evolution of CO2 emissions, which have grown since 2009, while per capita emissions have decreased and, on the contrary, CO2 emissions per $ 1,000 of GDP.

Total carbon dioxide emissions have also increased in the last five years, although in this period at least per capita emissions have been reduced.
