CO2 emissions in 2013 were 14.836 megatons, making Sri Lanka is the 95th 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 Sri Lanka, have decreased in 2013, in which they have been 0.72 tons per inhabitant.
Regarding 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, Sri Lanka, has emitted 0.06 kilos for every $ 1,000 of GDP, a lower figure than 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.
Total carbon dioxide emissions have also increased in the last five years, as have per capita emissions, then the situation continues to worsen.
