In the table we can see the evolution of CO2 emissions, which have grown since 2011, 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.
