In Saudi Arabia, CO2 emissions during 2014 have grown 38.728 megatons, 7.08% compared to 2013.
CO2 emissions in 2014 were 585.46 megatons, making Saudi Arabia 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 Saudi Arabia, have increased in 2014, in which they have been 19.02 tons per inhabitant.
Saudi Arabia 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, Saudi Arabia, has emitted 0.39 kilos for every $ 1,000 of GDP, more than in 2013.
In the table we can see the evolution of CO2 emissions, which have grown since 2004, as have per capita emissions and as well as CO2 emissions per $ 1,000 of GDP.
Total carbon dioxide emissions have also increased in the last five years, as have per capita emissions, then the situation continues to worsen.
