In Iceland, CO2 emissions during 2013 have grown 0.085 megatons, 2.33% compared to 2012.
CO2 emissions in 2013 were 3.736 megatons, making Iceland is the 49th conutry 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 Iceland, have increased in 2013, in which they have been 11.42 tons 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, Iceland, has emitted 0.23 kilos for every $ 1,000 of GDP, the same as in 2012.
In the table we can see the evolution of CO2 emissions, which have grown since 2003, as have per capita emissions and, on the contrary, CO2 emissions per $ 1,000 of GDP.
However, in the last five years, total emissions have decreased in Iceland, as have emissions per capita, then the situation is improving.
