Trinidad and Tobago is one of the least efficient countries in environmental terms, as it is among the countries that send the most CO2 into the atmosphere for every $ 1,000 of GDP.
In the table we can see the evolution of CO2 emissions, which have decreased since 2006, as have per capita emissions and as well as CO2 emissions per $ 1,000 of GDP.
Total carbon dioxide emissions have also decreased compared to 2011, although per capita emissions have increased in this period.Click on the following link to see the ranking of CO2 emissions by countries and in the Economy of Trinidad and Tobago to see all the information we publish about Trinidad and Tobago.
