CO2 emissions in 2018 were 282.342 megatons, making Viet Nam is among the countries that pollute the most 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 Viet Nam, have increased in 2018, in which they have been 2.93 tons per inhabitant.
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, Viet Nam, has emitted 0.31 kilos for every $ 1,000 of GDP, more than in 2017.
In the table we can see the evolution of CO2 emissions, which have doubled in the last ten years, 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.
