If you look at evolution 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, Luxembourg, has emitted 0.18 kilos for every $ 1,000 of GDP, a lower figure than in 2011.
In the table we can see the evolution of CO2 emissions, which have grown in the last ten years, while per capita emissions have decreased and, on the contrary, CO2 emissions per $ 1,000 of GDP.
However, in the last five years, total emissions have decreased in Luxembourg, as have emissions per capita, then the situation is improving.
